    I just tried playing a demo on Steam. The nvidia card would not kick in, I even tried to add it to the graphic options. How can I get the nvidia card to work with this? I'd prefer not to have to do this each time I want to play a game.

    Also, has there been a fix to allow you to play Bad Company 2 yet?

    I went in to the nvidia control panel and set Red Alert 3 to use the nvidia card but it did not.
