Re: [HELP] snort stop processing on "Initializingrule chains" issue

[Joel Esler <joel.esler () sourcefire com>]

Unless you are using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, XP is only a  
32bit OS.  Meaning it can't address more than 4Gb of memory without  
hacks.  (The /PAE config) Besides, I don't think that Snort is  
compiled for Windows for 64 bit.
