"Program too big to fit in memory" CMD error when Launching Halo2 Install

[iMin3Ra1n]

Hey there folks. Pulled my old halo 2 install disc out the closet today for the hell of it. Tried to run startup.exe to install the game and, for a millisecond (i had to regenerate the error multiple times to see what it said) a cmd box comes up saying "program too big to fit in memory". I have 2 gigs of ram, and i made a test.txt > test.exe file, tested it and it didnt give me the error, but a "not a valid win32 application". Kind of worried why this is happening, and would like to play my game. If anyone knows a fix, please, shout it. Thanks.
