I am new to this world of virtual coins, but I am a Software Engineer.
I am having trouble launching the program, the x64 binary provided. I use the following command line:
cudaminer -d gt555m -C 2 -i 0 -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -O user.worker:password
and I get this:

[2014-02-19 17:01:32] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?
I believe this is due to the Laptop specs, it has both a NVidia GT55M 2GB and a Intel card. I have set the NVidia card to be the default card but it does not seem to be enough. I can't disable the Intel Card. I have a Lenovo ideapad Y570, is a fairly good and powerful laptop, I would like to get some juice out of it.
Any ideas? I am ready to donate my first Litecoin to the right answer
thanks!
Is it on windows or linux ? (never had the problem on windows, but on linux it could be more tricky)
I think it would be better if you didn't use the "-d gt555m" option... I don't know if Christian really put the name of every single nvidia cards into the -d options
Try to see what happens without the -d option; the intel hd graphic cards is not recognised by cudaminer, so technically there is only one nvidia card which can be recognized and the -d is not necessary.
Try also to use the latest driver for your card.
