familiar territory.

on win32, the process memory limit is between 1.7 and
1.8 GB of virtual memory. what version of operating
system is the server running?

if it is w2k server, you're stuck. you must reduce
either the SGA or PGA memory allocations in order to
stay under the process limit.
if it is w2k advanced server, you can enable large
memory support, and carry up to a 3*10E9 (convert to
power of 2) memory allocated to a process.

if is is w2k3 server, you can enable large memory
support.
certain versions of Oracle on win32 support large
memory, and some don't.
9.2.0.4 does.
8.1.7.3 and 8.1.7.4 do not.

to reduce memory allocations, you might:
- check v$sgastat for free memory, and reduce the size
of the shared, large and java pools.
- reduce the buffer cache
- reduce sort_area_size, hash_area_size

hth.
