Server won't start with innodb_buffer_pool_size over 1GB

[Ryan Paulson]

I'm running on Windows Server 2003 Standard addition. Dual 3.8GHZ with 4GB RAM.

The following ini file works fine, but if I bump the innodb_buffer_pool_size up to say 1152MB, it won't start and the error I get is:

InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate 4293935104 bytes of
InnoDB: memory with malloc! Total allocated memory
InnoDB: by InnoDB 134315888 bytes. Operating system errno: 8
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation!
InnoDB: Check if you should increase the swap file or
InnoDB: ulimits of your operating system.
