    Start the game, alt+tab out, and check if it's on the nvidia activity panel.

    Are you sure you got the right application?

    maybe your Nvidia card didn't kick in, try 258 driver if you still having problem.

    there are two game files depending which directx version u want to run..

    directx9 RE5DX9.exe
    directx10 RE5DX10.exe

    which one are you running and did you add them both to whitelist?
