Hello,

I've recently bought TESV Skyrim but I've got a problem, when I go to the options tab in the launcher of Skyrim, it will only detect my Intel HD videocard and my NVIDIA GeForce 310M is not shown in the dropbox, I've already tried several possible solutions to the problem, such as setting the preferred graphics processor to High-Performance NVIDIA processor and adding TESV.exe and skyrimlauncher.exe in program settings in the NVIDIA controlpanel, but none of this has solved my problem.. I'd greatly appreciate any help given!

Drivers updated?

Card pushed completely in?

Do you have the same issue with other games, or only Skyrim? The answer to this question can go a long way toward determining the proper troubleshooting path.

I'd still try what @Sackmanjones suggested first.

A buddy of mine has a 310m as well and his laptop does this all the time, with all types of games. He can never seem to get it working right, even though his drivers are updated. Just letting you know you aren't the only one and it's not just Skyrim.

I have checked and my drivers are all up to date, the video card is pushed in correctly. I don't have this problem with any other game. I'll list my system specifications here, if it would be any help;

I've also checked in device manager just in case the videocard was turned off, but it wasn't.

Someone please help.. It worked fine before I reinstalled windows.
