Windows (actually the WIN.COM loader) will only run in Enhanced mode
if it detects an 80386 and at least 2Mb of RAM. If it's not running
in Enhanced mode automatically I would think it probably doesn't think
it has enough RAM with just the 2Mb (for some reason or another). You
can force it into enhanced mode with "WIN /3" from the DOS prompt but
you're likely to get a message saying that Windows can't run in
enhanced mode. More memory should solve the problem nicely.
