[Bobby Cullipher] "NVIDIA Geforce GT555M 3GB (cannot believe this is not on Adobes list)"

Have you tried editing the text file? Might work.

In case you need it, here's a how to:

(note these instructions are for CS5.5. They also apply to CS5 and probably to CS6. You didn't mention what version of Premiere you're using, so I'm assuming 5.5.)

0) shutdown PP

1) right click on notepad in the start menu and select "run as administrator" (If you don't do this you will not have the privileges to save the text file after you edit it.)

2) point to File>Open and navigate to the Premiere Pro application folder. (usually "C:Program FilesAdobePremiere Pro CS5.5")

3) Open cuda_supported_cards.txt which you will find there.

4) on a new line, add "GeForce GT 555M", which is the name of your card.

5) Save the file. (if you didn't run notepad as administrator it will complain that it doesn't have the permissions required to save.

6) start PP again and go to the project setting panal and enable MPE hardware mode.

note: if it's still grayed out, ether you have the name of your GPU wrong, or PP is smart enough to know it won't work. The former is far more likely.
