Why is usable RAM less than total RAM?

I just bought a new laptop with 2GB of DDR3 ram, however in my system properties for Windows 7, it lists only 1.85GB as usable. Consequently when trying to install something that needs 2GB ram it fails, as it only detects 1.85GB available.

Is there anything I can do to force Windows to recognize all the ram in my laptop?

The integrated graphics most likely uses a shared memory architecture and reserves 128MB of RAM for that purpose leaving you with 1.85GB.
