Hey there. Recently I've updated my system with an SSD, so I had to install new OS as well. My problem is when I try to set to a program/game to use the Nvidia GPU instead the Intel IGP it will completely ignore those settings continue to use the IGP, and resets every settings back to the it original state in the Nvidia control panel. Is there any way to fix this, or is it a problem with the not totally updated OS? It's a Win 8.1, but it's not even 24 hours old installation. Also it's a laptop so I can't disable the IGP from the BIOS.

Here is my config:
Intel core i7 2630qm
Nvidia gt540m 1gb
8 GB of ddr3 ram

I can only access the system time, boot sequence, and some other boot options from the BIOS.
