That screen shot shows 4GB of memory so all is well. If you want a little more obvious view click on the link "Open Resource Monitor" on the task manager screen you took a capture of and go to the memory tab. The resource monitor breaks down your memory usage a little more plainly. If its hardware reserved it will show up as grey in the resource monitor.

If its showing 3GB with 1GB hardware reservered:
msconfig, boot tab, advanced options, uncheck the maximum memory if it is limited, then reboot
