Hey guys!

So today I was trying to play Grand Theft Auto 4 EFLC on my gaming laptop and for some reason my Nvida graphics card won't use itself on the game I want to use it on. When I look on the game it is saying it's being ran by my intel hd 300 family ( I've got two graphics cards )and it's extremely annoying! Now I've got all my settings like this ..

Picture 1 - <a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/6ayx9"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/6ayx9.jpg"></a>

Picture 2 - <a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/mo6df"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/mo6df.jpg"></a>

Picture 3 - <a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/31nia"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/31nia.jpg"></a>

Picture 4 - <a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/yr8k6"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/t/yr8k6.jpg"></a>

So yeah what do I do to change the graphics card that's running the game?

Very unlikely.

OP, I can't see your images. Try Snipping Tool with a site like Imgur or a screencap utility like Greenshot.

With switchable graphics, it's almost certainly a driver issue. Laptop graphics cards (assuming it's actually a card and not soldered to the motherboard) don't have room to fall out.
