Requesting additional memory error in Mechanica

Mechanica 2001 keeps shutting down during runs saying that there has been an error in requesting additional memory from the system. This happens if I set the run dialog RAM allocation higher than 512 to 1000 MB. I have 2 GB of RAM and 6 GB of Virtual Memory so I am unsure what the problem is. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!
 
Found the answer myself - apparently the Mechanica solver can't be allocated to more than 1/4 to 1/2 of the physical memory
