Is there any solution for 32-bit Windows XP?

For WinXP, edit the boot.ini file in C:\ to add a /3GB switch - see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/316739 for details. Windows will need to be restarted for this to take effect.

 

Also consider adding /userva=2900 after the /3GB - this will reduce available memory slightly from 3072 to 2900 but should avoid potential issues with reduced Windows kernel memory as noted in the MS article.

What's the process like on Windows Vista?

What's the process like on Windows Vista?

It's the same as Windows 7 using bcdedit:

 

1) Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories group in your Start Menu. Click Run as Administrator.

2) At the command prompt, enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072"

3) Restart the computer.

 

To disable this later, replace step 2 with:

 

bcedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa

 

...and reboot your computer.
