My computer has 2 graphic/video cards. How I make one my 'main'?

I'm using a HP Pavillion dv6 notebook PC. It has 2 graphics cards, onboard graphics and an ATI Radeon. Currently I am using the onboard graphics, how do I switch?

Update:

This is my computer: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395463,00.as... See how it has 2 graphics cards.

Update 2:

The reason I want to switch graphics is because some applications won't run at all and tell me to 'get a new video card' when the one I have is in fact totally compatible.

    You don't. In most cases, the computer determines which to use at a given moment, depending on requirements.
