    Hey,
    If there is aready a forum on this please post links/move.

    I am trying to play games through steam but cannot get them to run the GT555M. Is there a fix or steps to follow? I have tried whitelisting but cant find the .exe files of the game.

    Thanks

    What game are you trying to run? You can find the game .exe (except for Valve game) in this path: "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common" in that folder is where your games beside Valve installed, for example if you want to find Skyrim's .exe file then the path will be "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim" inside that folder you'd find both TESVLauncher.exe & TESV.exe.

    For Valve game, it will install in this path instead "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\[username]", however as far as I know, you wont be able to find game like TF2, Portal 1 or Counter-Strike (and its mod/expansion)'s .exe because it's all use the HL.exe (for CS & its mod/expansion), and HL2.exe for TF2 & Portal 1.

    Hi I have already looked in this folder (and have alread set up skyrim to work) my problem is with a game my brother wants to play called Spiral Knights. H couldnt get it to download on my laptop (from the official site) and so I got it through steam but can't get it to run wih the GT555.

    Hope that helps...

    I also cannot get Elsword (MMO) to run with 555. I have it whitelisted but doesnt seem to matter.

    Hmm, that's weird, since you whitelist it so it should work, sorry I dont think I can help further.
