Does Windows 2000 have a limitation on a process size? I have 2GB of RAM on my machine but one of my programs gives an error : Problem with Memory allocation when it hits around 1.3 GB. Thanks.

In general, all 32bit OS (workstation) have a limitation. Each process has limitation up to 4GB virtually (not physical memory). But only 2GB of virtual address can be use by the process itself, the rest is reserved by OS.
Here is the detail info:

About your problem I have no idea. Maybe there is an internal addressing conflict or the application itself can not handle the memory allocation perfectly. Just a thought :)
