Only 16MB graphics memory (of 64MB real) seen in Virtual WinXP

I'm running Windows XP Home as Guest OS on Ubuntu as host using VMware Player. Note that my Windows is a virtual version of my physical Windows.

I use a nVidia GeForce4 MX 420 graphics card with 64 MB of memory.

Yesterday, I installed Joost (internet TV) on the virtual Windows and it wouldn't work as it said I had less than the minimum required graphics card memory which is 48 MB. Joost apparently only saw 16 MB.

While I know that my .vmx file has reduced the available RAM memory from 1024 MB to 512 MB, I can see nothing indicating that I have deliberately reduced the graphics card memory.

Can somebody please help me explain this?

Thanks

Paul
