XBMC, Unable to create GUI on Win 8.1 with my Nvidia Graphic Card - Bandana - 2014-11-30

Hi, so Im having a problem with XBMC. I have connected my laptop on my TV Screen, but I'm using a laptop (MSI) with two graphic cards, one being an Intel HD 4600, the other one an Nvidia card. Of course the Nvidia card is stronger, and I want to use this to run XBMC, but I cant for the live figure out how. With my Intel card, it works fine, but when I choose to use the Nvidia card on my Nvidia Controlpanel, I get this error "unable to create GUI".

Ive tried disabling the Intel card, but then I cant use my laptop with my TV screen. Tried updating my drivers, didnt work either. Been searching for hours on google and other places to find a solution, but didnt find it there either.

I appriciate all help I can get. Really want to use my Nvidia card as the graphic card on XBMC, so my movies and everything can run better. I'm on a 64bit Windows 8.1, and using the lastest XBMC stable version.
