Right-click on desktop and click NVIDIA Control Console
Select 'Manage 3D Settings' in the left pane
Select the "Program Settings" tab in the main window
Click 'Add'
Navigate to your Algodoo binder (C:\Programme Files (x86)\Algodoo) and select Algodoo.exe and press 'open up'(this pace volition probably depend on your operating organisation but should be pretty easy to notice)
Where it says 'Select the preferred graphics processor for this program' click the drop-downward and cull 'High Performance NVIDIA processor'
Click 'Apply' in the bottom correct and you lot're good to go.
