If you have a MacBoo Air, then it does not have a graphics card. It only has integrated Iris graphics that is part of the CPU. I don't know where you got the idea there was a separate graphics card with 4GB of VRAM. The integrated graphics shares RAM for VRAM.

Have you installed all of the Bootcamp drivers?

It sounds as though Windows is seeing a very basic

display and that is the reason for the 128 meg.

Usually, the amount of allocated RAM for the integrated GPU is determined by the amount or RAM installed in the computer. However, I have no idea how that is determined under Windows, although I believe it's the same.

I’m not sure how to do that.I just had the iso file from Microsoft and went through boot camp and then that was that.I tried updating the graphics driver on windows but nothing.
