unable to allocate 2GB RAM

Okay so I've been looking around for similar issues. I'm trying to change the RAM up to 2 GB. I have 8GB of RAM so it should work however when trying to allocate i get the error "Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap" I've tried the route of environment variables through control panel still no luck. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
