Open the "boot.ini" file in the root of the drive where windows is installed.
Find this:
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=...

Add " /3GB" at the end of the first line, and ONLY that line.

If you encounter a problem when booting, restart in safe mode and undo the change.
