  • Switchable Graphics Options Missing

    Prouct: HP Pavilion g6-2307tx
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)Product Number: D4B15PA
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000/Radeon HD Graphics 7670M
    Hi. I need some help or instructions about my situation. I have a problem looking for the switchable graphics options for my laptop. The original OS of this is Windows 8 64-bit. I changed my OS into Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. After installing the drivers needed for my laptop, I noticed the Configure Switchable Graphics options is missing, even the AMD Catalyst Control Center. I installed both drivers succesfully after the Windows 7 installation, but the graphics options for AMD is missing. I tried to update my AMD driver by installing the latest driver, Catalyst Software Suite via Autodetect Utility, but after installing it, my laptop display became large, and the "Configure Switchable Graphics" option stated that the driver I installed is not compatible with my laptop. I opened System Restore to revert back to a point where I haven't installed it yet. I am unsure if I must install the AMD driver that I found here in HP drivers. If someone knows how I can reinstall the driver my system need, I would be grateful.
    Thanks,
    RD18

    Hi: Because your notebook has the switchable graphics, the only graphics driver you can use is the HP one. I do not believe HP has linked the correct AMD/Intel switchable graphics driver to your notebook's support and driver page. Uninstall any graphics drivers you have previously installed and reboot...but instead, try this one from the g6t-2000. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp58894.exe

  • Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS is not listed(seen)

    Hi everyone!
    I've read that:
    NOTE: If you do not see Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS or it cannot be selected, see the following section Updating the BIOS to enable Fixed Mode .
    However,  I didn't see that switachable craphics mode is seen in my BIOS:
    Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
    Product Number : LM610EA#A2N
    Version of BIOS is: F.05.
    Vendor of BIOS is: Insyde
    Also, I would say that my BOIS is not a UEFI BIOS because I cannot navigate the menus with a mouse but only just with the keyboard.
    However, I really was told that I shouldn't update the BIOS unless I am having a problem with it.
    Thus, I am afraid that if I had updated it, I would be encountring some problems not loading my machine well. However, I really want to know how to switch to external or internal adapter, thus I read here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02948560#fixeddl

    Please see OpenGL Applications Cannot Use Discrete GPU with Intel + AMD Switchable Graphics for the basic procedure to update the BIOS and change the BIOS setting.

  • How disable the full screen option in the standard or wireframe video player ?

    I was wondering if (and how) it's possible to just disable the full screen option in the controls that appear below the video player (standard or wireframe).
    I want to have a video player with the progression bar, play / pause options, the counter without the full screen option because: "When someone clicks the Full Screen button during playback, the video opens in a pop-up window. Any interaction used to transition to a new state in the application does not work."

    I don't think so from within Flash Catalyst. That is all part of the component. I took a quick look at the docs, and did not see that element at as a parameter. There are only two options I can think of: either build a custom controller in  Flash Catalyst (which may not have all the same functionality as the stock controller) or take your project into Flash Builder and modify the controller skin there.

  • Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?

    Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?
    I can deselect it with the magic wand but not with the quick selection. Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Dominik

    I don't think you can, but in the refine edge dialog you can use the contrast setting to get rid of most of the anti-alias.

  • UCM - WEBDAV - How to Disable the New Folder option in the action popup

    I am trying to implement WebDav functionality. I don't want the users to create folders in the folder mapped to a security group. As long as the user has privilege to contribute to the security group he/she can checkin documents but they should not be able to create folder under it. I did not find documentation as to how to disable the new folder option in the context action menu that pops up on mouse right click. Is there any way we can do that?
    Thanx.

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to networks in general. It is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe:
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
    Working across a network in general is not supported by Adobe.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
        Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.  It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.

  • W500: using the switchable graphics with vista ultimate without the power manager software?

    seriously, invest in a new hitachi travelstar 320gb for 49 bucks from that tiger place online and a usb hard drive caddy, pop in your free clonezilla cd and your rescue and recovery problems will be over!
    after reading all the problems with that software i figured my data was too valuble to get caught in that mess so for under 75 bucks problem solved and i rid my w500 of that bloatware. even cheaper then ordering the recovery disks from lenovo.
    working on getting rid of the rest of the useless software now.
    hey question, how do you use the switchable graphics on the w500 with vista ultimate without the power manager software? if you can thats next!!

    That's because you are asking a T500/W500 question in the Thinkvantage forum. Anyway, the answer to your question is in this thread.
    ATI recently started packaging their switchable graphics driver together with their regular Catalyst. So downloading their latest driver Catalyst 9.4 from the ATI/AMD site and then modifying it with the Mobility Modder will allow you to use switchable graphics without the power manager. The little problem is just that the released version of the Mobility Modder stopped working with Catalyst 9.2 and you are on your own getting a modified Modder  working on 9.4, see here.
    So I decided not to make more work for myself staying on a modded Catalyst 9.1 and for the time being living without switchable graphics.

  • After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

    Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

  • How do I get the "all floating" option in the "layout" to work?  Something happened that it stopped working.   I like to have several images on the screen at the same time.

    I like to work with several images at the same time on the photoshop elements 12 "expert" screen and used to be able to have the "all floating" option in the "layout", thereby altering each image differently on the screen.   I'm an artist and view multiple images while painting.   But now that option doesn't work for some reason.   Help!

    Editor preferences>general, turn Allow Floating documents, but then you may need to go to window>images>float all in windows to make it work for currently open files.

  • I am trying to do a factory reset on my macbook air, but when I do the command   power button, I am only seeing the macintosh HD option not the recovery hd option previously mentioned.

    I am trying to factory restore my macbook air, I tried following a youtube video performing the option + power button and am only getting the macintosh HD option not the recovery HD option. Is there another way to reset the computer?

    The proper shortcut is COMMAND-R, not  COMMAND-PowerButton. See the following:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

    Sounds like you have the print dialog minimised, as shown.
    If you click the triangle next to the printer name, this will expand the print dialog and from this view you can see all the menu options as mentioned in the guide.
