Video Ram plays a vital role in simulating graphics on your screen, whatever you do it is all about graphics, even when your operating system gets loaded on the memory and your desktop item is loaded with graphics, and if you talk about graphics applications, such as games then you must have a good graphics to handle it.
You can check your Video RAM from your system properties, you have to go to display properties and click on adapter.
But did you know that you can increase your video memory?
There are different ways, by which you can increase your video RAM, you can go to your system BIOS and try finding video option from advance setting, there should be an option of pre allocated Video Ram check it, there will be few options, click on your desired one and that is it.
Also you can increase Video ram by system registry, open Run, type regedit, in left panel find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE go to software and then to Intel, right click on Intel and choose new key and name it as GMM, now select the GMM and on right panel select New > Dword (32 bit) value and now name it as DedicatedSegementSize.
Now all you have to do is to open this new created value by double clicking on it, give it a value like 512, and save it, and it will be the value that will be shown on your system adapter settings. And that is how you can increase the video laptop solidworks through settings.
Do not forget to restart your computer after applying these settings, so they can take affect properly.
After that hopefully your most of the errors of not running applications due to lack of graphics size will run. As not showing enough memory sometimes restricts applications from starting since the beginning even if the system can handle it, so hope this resolves the issue.
