ummm... I don't think that it's some thing with the registration as Zeva said... but I would advise to try the following... run MSCONFIG in then hit the enter key...

in the BOOT field, go to ADVANCE there you will be able to specify the amount or RAM you like to be used, then make sure that the whole amount or RAM (4gb) or around is being used, press OK, then reboot.

hope this would help.

best regards.

Does it have something to do with whether or not it's activated?

I'm basically wondering if his copy is Activated. I'm just trying to eliminate all possibilities so that we all pinpoint the solution together.

Not to be rude, but are you absolutely positive that it's placed correct and firm?

Yes, windows can see it, but refuses to use it.
It looks like dynamic RAM sharing for the GPU...

DXDIAG shows over 1.5GB of VRAM...
