8.1.7.2.6 was the last patchset that supported large memory on MS win32 OSes. All 9.2.0.x patchsets supported it.
While running 8.1.7.3.0 and all of the 8.1.7.4.x patchsets - large memory support was non-existent.

upgrade to 9.2 or 10.1 and apply the latest patchsets as prescribed in the CPU2005July alert.
