'Virtual memory' cannot 'steal' your RAM...it is simply space on your hard drive which is allocated to supplement your (significantly faster) physical RAM. Rather, I wonder if the RAM has not been seated properly, is defective, or is not being recognized by the motherboard. Try going into BIOS setup and see if it is reported 1GB or 2GB of RAM.

* If it does then remove the RAM from the motherboard socket and remove the dust on the golden lines of the RAM by rubbing with the duster/rubber.(Caution! This should be done by experienced user only, not doing it with care may damage it). Then put it back and press it properly.
* Still the problem persist than contect the manufacturer.
