    Targa Traveller 1591, Had this laptop since 2009 and has been working ok, few touch ups needed throughout the years. Recently i have not been able to play ANY sort of game on the laptop. I used to be able to play anything fine, but i think since i re booted it its gone faulty. When i use CanYouRunIt it shows
    Required You Have
    Video RAM 256 MB 0.0 B
    Hardware T&L Yes Yes
    Pixel Shader version 2.0 4.0
    Vertex Shader version 2.0 4.0

    Clearly i had Video Ram before, but how can i get it back ? I can watch Videos online and movies and all fine, but cant even play solitaire!!

    Nvidia GeForce™ 9100M G, max. 256MB shared memory, DirectX10, VGA analog, HDMI (with HDCP support)

    What OS you using? Probably just need your display drivers to be reinstalled.

    OP mentions shared memory.....is there a setting for video RAM in your BIOS? See what the value it's set to if there is one.

    This means you'll have it when your machine needs it, but it'll show up as zero on tests. There should be an "always on" setting in your BIOS for the video card memory, but you'll have less RAM then.
