Hey guys can you see if theres something wrong with my Alienware m11x? I see people playing it on high settings with no problem but my computer can barely run it on the lowest settings for everything, can anyone see if theres a problem with my specs?

That is exactly why it's not working. Definitely missing your graphics card. 1) Is the card plugged into the motherboard correctly? 2) Is the card COMPATIBLE with the motherboard? 3) Have you tried installing the latest drivers for the video card?
well the alienware m11x has interchangeable graphics card, and i set it to play with the NVIDIA 335 GTM graphics card when playing starcraft 2, all the drivers are up to date, but i found online that NVIDIA was having some problems running the beta, so theres an experimental driver made specifically for the beta that im downloading at the moment, do you think it will work?
Maybe. Sounds to me like your PC isn't switching over the Nvidia card when the game does start. I've heard of this feature as an energy saver on some laptops. Try disabling the graphics switching feature so that the card is always on. Or vice versa make sure the feature is actually set to turn the card on.
