You don't get it back directly. When in-game the 2 MB should be back. I don't know how to explain this, but 1 or 2 MB being missing during a system specs scan is not uncommon at all. For example, I used to have a laptop with 512 MB dedicated RAM. When systemrequirementslabs scanned it, it showed up as 511 MB even though my video card did not share system RAM.
When Windows Vista scans my current desktop, it can show up as 1022 MB instead of 1024 (1 GB). Don't worry about it at all. It happens to everyone.
But I highly recommend you double your amount of RAM asap. Even if you're not gaming, Windows Vista does struggle with less than 3/4 GB of RAM. When playing high-end games on Vista, 2 GB RAM becomes very helpful, which is why I plan to upgrade to 2 GB soon (desktop only, since my laptop has XP).
And you might want to get a real video card (you are using a desktop, right?) so that you don't lose system RAM to your integrated video. A video card's own memory is much faster than the main system memory.
