Really, innoDB is quite standard for MySQL. Is this an old database server? If so, is it one you can update? Shared hosting?
What type of MySQL client are you using? phpMyAdmin, MySQL Administrator?
From manual:
Quote:In MySQL, you'll need to be running InnoDB or BDB table types rather than the more common MyISAM. Most other database platforms support transactions natively.
