    Hi, I just updated my drivers to 275.33 with the modded inf from laptop2go and I have an issue with it, when I whitelist a game it didn't work, the game appear on the list but when I close the Nvidia panel and then I open it again the game I just added didn't appear anymore, even when I click on apply. Can you help me?

    ?? Beats me, that is a bit of a muddler... The new drivers are supposed to fix problems not create more of them. Did the last/default driver work out for you, by any chance?

    Yes, I did hear that it increases performance by a couple of frames atleast. I don't know why you're facing this problem, since so many other guys have done it successfully. I'll see if I can direct some help your way - maybe you can use the same file they used to install the new drivers.

    It's just for some games for me but it's really annoying that only some games stays on the list after I close the Nvidia pannel

    ya for most games you may have to go into program files directory and select the games .exe to properly make the 555m active (had to do it with the witcher)
