G500 with Radeon HD 8750, new games not working.

Hi,
I have a Lenovo G500 with Intel HD4000 and Radeon HD 8750M switchable graphics.
I was having trouble getting Kings Bounty: The Dark Side to work and also Divinity Original Sin.  They were just crashing to the desktop.  I updated the graphics driver from AMD's site through their autodetect facility.  Once it upgraded the drivers, the "Configure Switchable Graphics" option disappeared from the menu.
After hours of messing about trying to fix that, I ended up doing a factory reset and instead install the latest drivers from Lenovo's site.  The driver package contains an older driver for the Radeon 8750M, but at least this time I haven't lost the "Configure Switchable Graphics" option.
However, when telling the graphics option "High Performance" for those two games, they both still crash to the desktop.  Using "Power Saving", hence using the integrated Intel graphics, the games work, but obviously have a very low frame rate.
Is there any chance that the official driver package from Lenovo can be updated to contain the latest Radeon drivers?  Or do you think the issue lies elsewhere.  Remember this is a clean install of Windows 8.1 since the OneKey factory reset.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.  
If I update it with the driver from AMD's site, it loses the ability to configure switchable graphics, so I think it needs to be from Lenovo.  i.e. a bundled Intel and Radeon driver with switchable graphics.  Installing the driver direct from AMD makes the "configure switchable graphics" option disappear from the right-click on desktop, and it's a real palava to get it back.
The games work with the Intel, they only crash when High-Performance is selected, hence why I'm pointing it to the Radeon driver needing updating.

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

    MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICKING ON TAB

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

  • Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?

    Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?
    I can only apply it on an existing stroke but can't draw a new one with the selected profile. In fact if I change the profile to other than the default Uniform I also can't draw a new stroke with any other width than the default 1 point. This doesn't seem normal.
    Using SC5 on a PC.

    Another question on the same topic.
    Once I add a new profile to the list is it possible to put it on top of the list. I need this because the Adobe people decided to put the list in a tiny scrollable window with only a few of the first profiles showing. If there is noting in the interface may be I have to modify some program files settings?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • I experience issue with my Verizon iPhone5s cellular service not working on 3G.

    I'm experiencing issue with my Verizon iPhone5s cellular service not working on 3G but LTE works great. I tried resetting network setting, new SIM card, reset iPhone to new too. I'm have the latest carrier code of 16.0. Iphone firmware 7.1.2.
    I started experiencing this when verizon started advertising XLTE.
    It is very frustrating when internet does not work when I'm in 3G area. Phone calls does work though. Signal is good too.
    Thank you in advance.

    I would agree w you but this only happens on Iphone5S.
    Iphone5 works fine.  I tested this with other Iphone 5 and 5s.
    To test this, go to setting/celluar/turn off "Enable LTE"

  • I'M WITH STUPID! sendmail.cfm hack not working...

    Hi, I'm a lonely, stupid, ignorant person whom is not interested in code or building a sendmail page. I can however, build a frameset in DreamWeaver and up load its page's and content onto the net using filezilla and a webhosting client, I can even build my own btn bar with a get URL content mainframe code...arrrggghh. But then stupid comes back and say's, "use a 2004 mx flash tutorial from the 2004 Flash MX bible, and insert its SWF file from a Flash FLA  from chapter 30" and guess what...It doe's not work! ooohHa! And a little horn apears, as a saintly brow turn's into a not so saintly V shaped furrow. Please, can anyone help, stupid?
    I need to know how to alter the sendmail code, to send email's to [email protected] from the contact page on the http://www.pizzapal.co.uk website.
    function sendComments() {
    var sender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    var responder:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    responder.onLoad = function(success){
      if (success) {
       _global.serverTime = this.timeDate;
       _root.gotoAndStop("output");
      } else {
       _root.gotoAndStop("error");
    sender.fromEmail = fromEmail_txt.text;
    sender.fromName = fromName_txt.text;
    sender.body = comments_txt.text;
    sender.sendAndLoad("http://[email protected] ", responder, "POST");
    _root.gotoAndStop("wait");
    this._lockroot = true;
    Right? Wrong?  Plus, what file do upload onto my server to accomapy the SWF sendmail.cfm page.
    Many thanks for reading and I hope it was entertaining because actors like me and Joey are important to.
    The sendmail_cfm.swf is attached.

    Please can anyone remove the report abuse icon because I cannot continue with this thread.

    Thanks Ross
    I accidentally deleted a content folder from the frameset and that meant due to low practical skills in Dreamweaver, I went ahead a deleted the whole site instend of renaming a secondary copy. I then built the frameset up again this evening after going for a walk to cool down, it was one way geetting to know Dreamweaver a little better. The time gave also an oppotunity to think about the sendmail problem and thing's were clearing on the return home, so I sat down a dragged in some new file's from the tutorial C.D and started again, with a copy paste from your email. Thank's once again, it was your advise that truned my attention to the sendmail.cfm, which incidentally, I had over looked on the first attempt's to get the contact's page running. It still doe's not return mail though, so I thought might like to have a look at the script from the sendmail.cfm file... {
    I hope I carried out your advice correctly and notice also the server port, which I have changed from 23 to 21 and the the servers I.D also was scrubbed in favor to my hosting clients. I've sent then a question on this subject, regarding your question on weather or not their server run's cfm, I will inform of their answer and keep trying anyway.

    Your code should look like this:
    function sendComments() {
    var sender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    var responder:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    var scriptURL:String = "http://www.pizzapal.co.uk/sendmail.cfm";
    responder.onLoad = function(success){
      if (success) {
       _global.serverTime = this.timeDate;
       _root.gotoAndStop("output");
      } else {
       _root.gotoAndStop("error");
    sender.fromEmail = fromEmail_txt.text;
    sender.fromName = fromName_txt.text;
    sender.body = comments_txt.text;
    sender.sendAndLoad(scriptURL, responder, "POST");
    _root.gotoAndStop("wait");
    this._lockroot = true;
    And then, open the sendmail.cfm page in Dreamweaver or another text editor, find the email address the script is sending to (I am assuming this is part of the tutorial in the book as well...) and change it to your mailto:[email protected]
    Upload the SWF, and the CFM and it should work.... assuming your web host server runs coldfusion scripting.

  • Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

    Hi Experts,
       I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
    For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
    My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
    What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
    What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
    How to test this?
    Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
