Hi,
i'm new here,and i hope anyone can help me.
I have a Acer-Aspire 5742G with a nVidia Geforce GT540M (2GB).
I would like to install Windows XP or my optimized Windows Vista.
But nVidia doesn't give Support for nVidia Optimus.
And my games runs to slow with Intel HD.
Now please can anyone unlock the new Bios from the Acer-Aspire 5742G?
I hope then is there a option to disable the Intel HD Graphic.
Thanks @ all they help me.

Test and tell me.
Thank you.
But there is no Video options in the new Bios,but now i can change some processor settings.
Is it even possible to disable optimus,or set the nVidia card as primary?
In the Forum i found some succesfully threads for disabling optimus on other notebooks.
But thanks for helping.

Download again, and look in main menu. 
Don't work...some charaters are missing and the bios freeze at the security tab (after main)
@jaller

Yep,i HATE optimus 
1 time i've see graghic selection (switchable, integrate, discrete) , but haven't save setting.
Now bios freeze everytime in security, i can't mod graphic xD
@camiloml: please fix it
Now,i have selected the integrated card.

But after reboot or power off,the settings are removed.
If i use the secondary card,i became a blackscreen.
I think,it change too the secondarycard after power off,but it doesn't save the settings and the bios use switchable mode.
