SYMPTOMS
After you install support files for East Asian languages on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, applications that require lots of contiguous memory may not allocate sufficient memory. Every application that tries to allocate lots of contiguous memory may handle this problem differently. Some applications fail, and some applications silently recover. For example, you may experience this problem when SAP software cannot start successfully.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the load address of the Lpk.dll file has fragmented the user mode address space. This event causes a base address conflict. The Lpk.dll file is loaded when you install support files for East Asian languages.

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
Your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for x64-based versions of Windows. Your hardware manufacturer provides support because an x64-based version of Windows was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the installation of Windows with unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with your x64-based version of Windows. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware.
