is there no way to make it appear as GT 540M instead of intel HD family in the system/dxdiag/etc... ?
For what purpose though? You can select in the nVidia control panel what software you want the GT 540M used for. The whole point of the technology is to reduce power consumption, so it only switches to the dedicated card when absolutely necessary. Have a look in the global settings (in the nVidia control panel) and see if it will use the GT 540M as the primary device. I don't have a notebook with switchable graphics so don't know what settings there are exactly.

  • MSI GE 620 - Need help changing intergrated graphics over to NVIDIA card.

    Hello, I don't know if I should be posting this question in the VGA Products section or the NVidia boards section but here goes anyway!
    I got an MSI GE 620. Now after I installed all my games onto the new system I notice something was off. My computer was using the on board Intel HD Family Graphics card to run my games instead of my NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M. Now I went to the NVIDIA settings and set the 3D settings to run on the NVIDIA High Performance Processor. Now some games ran off the NVIDIA card like Shogun 2, Dawn of War II, but a lot of the others wouldn't such as World of Warcraft.
    Now I've tried a lot of things to turn off the Intel HD card and make the system favor the NVIDIA but it doesn't. When I run dxdiag it just displays the Intel card and not the NVIDIA. Now obviously the BIOS is running the Intel card first on start up and I was told to just turn off the Intel card in BIOS and enable the PCI (If that's what I called in BIOS?) card which is the NVIDIA card in BIOS but I can't get into BIOS. I press F2 on start up and if just gives information about the laptop and I can see any options to change the video settings or display.
    I also tried to disable the Intel card in device manger but the screen just goes black and I have to force shut down and restart with the card off and I have to enable it again to get a normal screen resolution and such.
    I am just completely lost on how to turn off the on board graphics and make my NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M the only card that runs off everything. I would really appreciate any help on the matter as I'm just upset since the computer is less than a week old and I can't use it to its full power.
    Thank you.

    I also have another side question, My brother owns an MSI GT 640 Notebook, it has 4.00GB Ram but when I check the system (From Control panel) it says Only 2.98GB Usable, Is this something common ? should I change to Win7 64x ? what's the solution to this ?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Need Help positioning a graphic over an image.

    Trying to position an arched graphic over an image in the header of this site.  The photoshop image provided shows the three separate components. 1. The white content is one image that houses the main header images and the other three images lower on the page. In CSS it is the #inner-content. 2. #main-content is the teal color  3.  The arch image, which sits inside #arch-container.  The CSS is shown here, but when it is displayed in a browser...the #inner-content sits below the arch image instead of up underneath it.  I have tried many variations within the CSS and can't find the solution. Help!

    You need to bear with me a little more, age is rapidly setting in making it harder for me to understand what you are on about.
    Which code did I supply?
    Or do you mean the link?
    If you are referring to the link, I do not see a 170px gap from the top.
    Maybe someone more from this world would like to help you.
    Happy New Year!

  • My MBP didn't recognise my password, started it in safe mode, I can see my files, but I don't know what to do next, as the image of reset password isn't selectable. I just moved from PC. Need help please...

    Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
    resetpassword
    Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

  • HT5312 Guys, I have forgotten my security question answers, and the rescue email I placed in with my apple id has been closed down as well (it was a university id, when I graduated, the email service expired). I need help changing my password.

    Guys, I have forgotten my security question answers, and the rescue email I placed in with my apple id has been closed down as well (it was a university id, when I graduated, the email service expired). I need help changing my password.

    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
        1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
              Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
              bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
              'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
              ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
         2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
         3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
    A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

    The payment methods that are available in your country will show on your account. If debit cards aren't available on that screen then you won't be able to use it as your payment method.

  • Need help changing the default Save Path

    Hello,
    We are implementing SAP, and will be using Citrix as the source for the GUI.  One of our requirnments are, that we need to change the default "Save Path" that users save documents too.   By default, this is to the C drive, but, we need it set to a different drive (i.e. V: on the citrix server).
    We found this note on SDN (see below) - however, it does not explain how to change or add this registry value?  Is this done in the GUI options, or in regedit?  If in reg-edit, where abouts in the tree does it go?
    Thanks guys, and any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Richard
    (As of SAP GUI 7.20, patch level 4) the REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value InitSaveDir can be used to configure the default path and folder for users to save the reported information in case of an access denial due to security rules. If users change the default path and save the information to an individual location, this new path will be kept as long as the user does not terminate the program. When starting SAP GUI again, users will get the configured default path again to store the reported information, the individual path changes will be lost. If the registry value does not exist, the default directory is the document directory of the SAP GUI.
    By default none of the above registry values exists. In order to change the behavior of the security module, the registry values need to be created and set to the desired value. A not existing registry value means use the default.
    In this doc:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002444be-7018-2d10-e18e-a8c537198ef6?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

    Hi,
    "Security rules that are created for a large number of users can be centrally stored on a server by an administrator. The administrator can use the registry values below under the registry key
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
    to configure the behavior of the security module.
    Note: For 64 bit operating systems please use the following registry key
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
    to configure the behavior of the security module."
    You can use regedit for installing this values.
    Best Regards,
    Aleh

  • I need help changing the account number my daughter uses for payment for her apps and itunes, etc. can anyone talk me through this.

    hi ,
    im just a mom, not very computer savy.....however, I need to change the payment method my daughter uses to purchase things on her ipad due to the fact that the current one is expiring. ie: for such things like songs and games, etc.
    I would appreciate any help as how to do so.
    THanks

    On a computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option (if you are not logged into the account that your daughter is using then Store > Sign menu option to log out of the currently logged in account ; that will then change to a Store > Sign In option so that you can log into her account) and log into the account (enter the account's password and click View Account on the popup)
    And on the account's details page there should be a payment link.
    If you are doing it on your iPad then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (if not logged into her account then log out of your account via the popup that you get and then log in with her account) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into the account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • Java newbie help: Need to change a graphic on screen

    Hello everyone. I'm a long time C/C++ programmer, and I've been thrust into the Java world when I inherited an incomplete project. If something I mention later on sounds stupid, it's probably because it came that way, or I'm trying to force it into what I know from old experience.
    FWIW, the project is being developed with Netbeans.
    What I'm after is how to change a graphic object onscreen from within the code, vs. with a device such as a mouse. I'm trying to emulate an LED indicator.
    What I've done so far is to try using the enable state, and defining GIFs to display. That didn't work.
    I've switched gears a bit, and tried something similar with the selected property, but that will only work if I hit the item with my mouse and click. Also, the item is defined as a jToggleButton.
    In general terms, what do I need to do to set this up for the displayed item to change without device input? I've been reading stuff about Buttons, ToggleButtons, Graphics, Images, and Icons, and I'm waaaaaay lost right now.
    To add to the frustration is that I've done something similar with Visual C++, and that worked as intended. Harumph.
    Help?!?

  • Need help changing from CC package to Photoshop only

    I purchased CC membership for one year in December 2013. As I hardly ever need InDesign or Illustrator, I would like to change my order to Photoshop (and Lightroom) only. I find managing my account online very confusing. Is there a number I could call? Or some other way to get rid of the software I don't need, and that I did not re-order after my one-year membership was over?
