Did you download OpenGL?

That's a Nvidia card. They won't do much for you.

Your problem is you have a mobile graphics and nVidia graphics (less stream processors)

But even Ati cannot make much money any more with the recent 25 coin reward drop.

I'm not much of a Nvidia guy but I heard something about Nvidia released drivers for OpenGL 4.2 support

Do you realize that OpenGL is not used for mining?  ::)

Actually, I had the same issue early on; with my 555m, I pulled, at best (with a 20% overclock, mind you), about 18MH/s. That's really all that you're going to get, as the 555m is not only pretty sluggish to start, but it also lacks AMD's crypto-friendly instruction set.

In short: you're screwed, and try not to mine with a notebook; don't wanna' kill it!

Nvidia cards do squat for mining.

AMD cards are better than NVIDIA...for mining anyway

Nvidia can't mine a lot
