Why don't you buy a new video card? I think you can change the amount of shared memory your card uses in the BIOS.

Go into the BIOS to set how much memory is allocated to the integrated video card (which you shouldn't be using for games). While you're at it, see if your trip into the BIOS will teach you how to type.

And guys, I think he uses a laptop, which means he can't buy a new video card.

Did you set it yourself? The only method I know of recovering a lost BIOS password is a reformat, but that was with an old Windows ME laptop...

Can't you reset the bios by taking the Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor(CMOS) battery out for 30 min. and putting it back in?

Did you really need to define CMOS for us?

If your using a laptop and you set that password then tough luck, you fucked up by forgetting it. If it was set like that by the manufacture google in the model number and something to the effect of "bios password" or whatever.

If you have a desktop pull the battery (looks like this (http://www.karbosguide.com/books/pcarchitecture/images/884.jpg), it's on the motherboard) out for 5 to 10 seconds and put it back in. If it has a jumper by the battery that is label CMOS or something to that effect then do the same thing but with the jumper.

And yes, he was implying that your grammar and spelling are terrible.
