    Hi all,

    New to my M14X, and have put DX - HR on it. How do I whitelist it to force it to use the GT555M? Everytime I start the setup utility for HR, it only brings up the HD3000, with nil option for the GT555M.

    Consequently I can't play in DX11, which I would like to do. I've whitelisted steam, as well as the actual DX-HR executable, but still the Nvidia card doesn't show it the setup utility.

    Any help would be appreciated :)

    it doesn't seem to be much trouble when you are using a hacked INI file on the driver install. Then it starts as it should.
