    Hi All, Just got my m11xr3 and Im loving it so far.

    So i did lots of reading about white-listing and problems with games, but i cannot seem to solve my issue here. I White-listed the game under the nvidia control panel, updates drivers off the nvidia site, and still the game refuses to run. Not sure where to turn from here, any help would be great.

    You're certain it's set to high-performance NVIDIA processor instead of integrated?

    If it is, what if you make that the global default?

    i tried setting it globally, same thing. It is not a steam game. Its the Dvd's from the store, had to install it via an external dvd drive.
