Windows not registering all RAM

I re-installed Parallels 4.0 and Windows XP and everything is working wonderfully so far. I tried installing a program and it said I had insufficient RAM. It required 1GB and it showed I only had 512 MB. I have 4GB on my Macbook. What is this reason, or can it be changed?
 
shut down the Virtual Machine but don't quit Parallels

Select this menu entry: Virtual Machine -> Configure

In the dialog box that appears, select the tab "General"

There you can set your VM's memory. I would recommend not to go beyond 1 GB, maybe 1.5 on your set up.

Good luck!
 
this is how good my mac book pro is


is it fine to go beyond 1.5 with this one

and i just tried that fixed everything in the way i want them to be but i still cant run the game GTA 4 on my macbook pro
 
there is no way you can play GTA 4 with Parallels, it's even struggling with Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro 5,3 (30FPS @ Xbox settings)
 
Hi,
currently, you cannot run GTA 4 in Parallels Desktop 5. Parallels is working on it, but no exact ETA can be given.
