Try setting the RAM that you are providing the guest to no more than 50% of the host actual memory. 1024 Meg if you have 2048 Meg.

Have you tried it yet?
Are you really sure that Vista is allowing all of the 4 Gig of memory to be used?

In "Computer properties" I can see 4GB memory. In task manager, I can see only only 3065 phisical memory. Why is it so?
