x64

I have application that runs on x86 32Win and we use 1.2Gbyte memory which allocated from the function VirtualAlloc(to prevent page faults).

I really want to increase my application memory so I recompiled my project under MSDVE 2008 with wow64 (OS Exp 64Bit).

I tried to allocate more than 2Gbyte and the function VirtualAlloc return error.

I even tried to set the flag LARGEADDRESSWARE to on, and the result was the same!

How can I increase my application memory, till using the VirtualAlloc function, with the WOW64?
