Maya on Laptop Problems

I'm running Maya 4.0 on a Dell Inspiron 8000.
I'm having probems with the graphics card.
It has a Nvidia Geforce2Go with 32MB texture ram.
It won't display the selection box when dragging to
select multiple objects, render region, etc.
Also when I'm a 4 window layout & hit the space bar
to enlarge to one window, the window is empty.
Other than that, it really rocks!
Any advice would be appreciated.

TIA, Sandy.
