I just updated my video driver in hopes that it would allow me to play SWTOR (as of now, I crash immediately to desktop as soon as I hit the Play button). I compared by DxDiag from before the update to after it. This is what I saw:

So what the hell just shared with my display memory and shared memory changes!? Is this bad? If so, how to I get that memory back to where it needs to be?

Try rolling back the driver.
If that doesn't work, physically remove the video card, and re-seat it.
Stick to nvidia drivers, and avoid any modded drivers.

I think it might be a laptop.
