// The original thread was about the issues I was experiencing with Optimus not using the default set GPU for T3D in a laptop of mine: Dell XPS17 i7Q2630 2.0Ghz/2.9 6GB ram intelHD/GT555m.

I solved the problem. Thank gawd.

Help for anyone else that may need it:
I uninstalled the current Nvidia Drivers, removed the reg keys and all traces of the Nvidia files (c:/, pfiles,appdata), rebooted, rebooted again, then reinstalled the current drivers "275.33-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql".
..Optimus is now listening to my commands and configurations.


I hope Nvidia works on a complete switch off of the intelHD gpu as it's currently going to full load and passing off load to the GT555m even though the GT555m is the default set GPU. Optimus = far from perfect.
