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.

Thank you in advance.

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.

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!

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?!?

In case you don't know, you can use any editor to develop java code.

Need Help with Corrupted Graphics

I need help real bad. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to find the reason for crashing in game (not blue screening but corrupted graphics) where the whole screen goes like a television that isn't tuned in, and then after anywhere between 2 to 5 mins my computer will reboot. I'm wondering if anyone has a similar issue, and if there is a fix. I'll list my system specs and a couple of things I have done that hasn't fixed it.
AMD64 3200+ 939 90mn
MSI K8N Neo2 - 1.4 bios
2 x 512mb Geil UltraX
Leadtek 6800u
Audigy
SuperFlower 14cm 500watt
I haven't started to overclock my machine yet as I have yet to fix this problem. Everything is running stock. I'm finding that its random. I can play Prince of Persia Warrior Within for hours on end without a problem. Then play Counterstrike Source and it will go to after about 5 mins. I decided to try benchmarks and 3dmark01 will do the same thing randomly. Even Battle Field will play for about 10 mins and it will just go to the fuzzy screen. I even heard that some Soundblaster Cards cause problems and have tried using the onboard sound, with no effect. I have also disabled AGP SideBand and AGP Fastwrite in the bios, as also this can cause some issues, to no effect. I thought maybe the video card maybe the problem, and threw a crappy 5700 LE in my machine, still with no effect. CPU temp is around 36c (water cooled) and GPU is around 48c. Does anyone have any idea as to why the screen craps out in just about every game I play. I'm running Winxp Pro SP2 with DX9.0c, with the latest Drivers for everything I'm running (mainboard, vga, sound, etc). If you can suggest something, please let me know.

X-((Well, This sorta sounds like what just happened to me.
My graphics card decided to take a dump on me. When I was playing a game the graphics went all garbled and everything froze. System rebooted a couple times, and yes it seems the cards fan stoped rotating and it fried.
So to me, it sounds like your video. But you say you tried changing video cards with no effect.
Dang. Sorry I cant think of anything. But on the bright side, your post was bumped.

NEED HELP DISABLING INTEGRATED GRAPHICS IN BIOS

Essentially the title is self explanatory. Im having issues with the options that the out of the box BIOS provides on the MSI GT70 0ND 444US, I cant find the options to turn the integrated graphics off because one of my programs is auto defaulting to the intell 4000 graphics rather than my Nvidia dedicated card in the laptop. Its causing issues with game play mostly low frame rate and bad quality graphics in the game. I don't know if i need to unlock or update the BIOS, generally just in the dark on the solution and iv tried a few things, but to no avail. If anyone Preferably a MSI tech specialist can help with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

In the nvidia control panel you can add or remove what programs you want to run with the discrete graphics, you can also right click a program/app and click run with discrete graphics. I don't think you need the integrated graphics but I also don't think they give you the option to turn it off. I have a msi laptop as well and msi completely takes power usage out of the end users hands, my CPU was throttling to 800mhz and I contacted msi and they said I needed it to to that for battery saving, I told them I always have it plugged in and I want it running full tilt 100% of the time, my gpu was throttling as well. The problem is that it was throttling both even with it plugged in. I finally found a program that overrides that crap!! It's called throttlestop. Now my gpu runs where I have it set to run and I have 4 presets on throttlestop for what I want my cpu to run at, I can even keep it at max turbo speed if I want.

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.

Need help installing my graphics driver in windows vista via boot camp

New to mac so first time on forum as well.
Love the Mac but i also want to get on some old games. C&C The First Decade mainly.
I am currently using below.
Mac mini Mid 2011 processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core it
Memory 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Installing windows vista home premium 32 bit
I have installed windows vista home premium using boot camp assistant and downloaded the windows drivers as well. After i have installed windows i installed boot camp using my Mac OS X snow leopard which installed boot camp 3 or 3.1 i believe and i eventually got apple updates for 3.2 which is what i am now runnning on vista. I had trouble getting my sound to play through my speakers at first but eventually got them working and now it is my graphics driver that i cannot seem to get working. In vista(I also downloaded service pack 1 and 2) when i go to control panel and check out my device control it shows a yellow exclamation point next to the adapter. I guess i need help in getting my graphics installed correctly on my windows. Is there something i should take off to install the correct driver? Or do i just need the correct driver download? If i have the correct driver how do i upload it onto my windows side in the device control.
When i try to run c&c generals/zero hour i get a directx 8.1 error, red alert 2 is black but i can hear. i know these games can work i installed the graphics correctly the first time when i did not have sound as this is my second time installing windows so the game did load when i did not have sound.
Advise?
I was thinking about saying forget this i can't waste hours of my time anymore but i have to be close to getting everything working if i had graphics before and no sound but sound this time and no graphics. I was also thinking about just buying windows 7 home premium sp1 64bit system builder dvd off amazon and reinstalling windows using windows 7 but i want to make sure i can play these games before i spend the money. I thought my mini couldn't support windows vista and if it did only boot camp 4? how am i getting this far to get things to work?
What is the driver i need to install to get these games working? What do I need to do or what am I missing???
Do i need to install a different boot camp off apple and find a driver that will get mine to work in vista?
Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated i have been at this everyday for hours.

Also is there something, say maybe a driver, that was installed i do not need that is blocking me from installing the correct drivers? What driver in my boot camp folder do i need to install to get to the correct display to run those games.
