David,
I'm not an expert, but I have heard of these shared memory PCs having
a setting for the video memory allocation in the BIOS. Your "dynamic
memory" setting may be 16 MB in the BIOS and this would be pretty
restrictive. Get into the BIOS and see if there is a setting for the
video memory or dynamic memory. Bump it up as high as it will go and
see where you are then.
