    I recently purchased this laptop and it has an ATI Radeon 1250 video card with up to 896 MB Hyper Memory. I tried to run a diagnostics program on the laptop and it doesn't recognize the available hyper memory, In fact, when I readjusted the allotted memory in the BIOS to 128 MB, the diagnostics said that I only had 128 MB. When I ran the same program on a NVIDIA graphics card with hyper memory it recognized the full GB of available memory. How do I fix this problem on my machine?

    Thanks
