HP Desktop keeps using onboard videocard instead of the dedicated NVIDIA one

My computer keeps using the onboard VGA output of the motherboard for video out. The NVIDIA dedicated card spins its fan but does not output anything out the VGA port.
OS: Windows Media Center 8.1 64-bit
Model: HP Pav p6155d
Videocard according to device manager: NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i

Hello @Danes,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your desktop keeps using the onboard video card instead o the dedicated NVIDIA one. What other devices do you have connected to your computer? Do you have the necessary drivers installed for your video card? Is this a recent or a reoccurring issue?
Please re-post with the necessary information, this way I will be able to research this further for you. I look forward to your reply!

    We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

    The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used.  Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash.  If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first.  Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
    P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control.  Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

  • I was told you you could view your app from your Iphone on the TV using Apple TV, such as the AFL football one i have purchased through the App store.

    I was told you could view your app from your Iphone on the TV using Apple TV, such as the AFL football one i have puchased through the App store. Is this true?

    Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Why Lightroom keeps using 30% CPU power all the time?

    Hello all,
    I am relatively new to LIghtRoom.
    I started working on a new set of photos  (400 app.). I opened it as new directory.
    Since then, all the time I work on theses pictures Lightroom keeps using app. 30% of CPU time.
    The over all time I spent on these photos is estimated to be more then 30 hours (yes, I am slow and open each in Photoshop while Lightroom is still opened). So I guess Lightroom finished all the rendering it wished to do.
    My question is why and what it keeps calculating and is there a way to stop it?
    System configuration:
    Single core Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.6 GHz (Hyper Threading allowed)
    2 GB RAM
    NVidia 6600 based graphics card (256 MB)
    Both LightRoom 2.3 and PhotoShop CS4 are opened
    Please help - the system is slow anyway. It can realy use those extra CPU power.

    LR will not show?
    The warning badge can be switched off from within View Options panel (Library module View menu) by unchecking  the option labelled Unsaved Metadata.
    With regard to your question as to whether Lr edits will show in Photoshop and Bridge/ACR - you'll be fine with Photoshop. However, for Lr edits to be visible in Bridge/ACR you will now have to manually save the metadata to each file (i.e. select file(s) then hit Cmd/Ctrl+S to save metadata to file).

  • How to use an instance instead of the class itself

    I am building a program but have a problem.
    My program uses a controller class which instantiates a World-class. In the world class has a Vector I make a Vector in which I place all the elements in the world. (I also made an Element class from which all the objects that I put into this Vector extend.)
    Everything except for some methods in the controller class are declared public. I might need to use static, but I do not know how.
    // CONSTRUCTOR CONTROLLER CLASS
    world = new World ();  // instantiate one and only one world
    world.newElement (new Beamer ("beamer", 20. , 20.));  // use a selfwritten method to add a "Star Trek"-like
                              // beamer to the world. I give it a name and position.
    world.newElement (new Avatar ("avt", "beamer"));  // add an avatar which is "beamed up". so what I do is that I use the beamer for the beginposition of the avatar. However, and this is my problem, in the constructor of Avatar (see below) i need the beamer in world, but my compiler cant find world. I probably need to import my World or controller class, but even then: I do not understand how to use an instance (world is an instance. I cant use the World-class as the class does not contain the beamer element)
    public class Avatar extends Element {
         public Avatar (String n, String beamer){
              name = n;
              posx = world.named("beamer").getPosx; // the selfwritten method named finds the
                // element in the Vector that goes with the name. Any ideas to make this code better are welcome too.
              posy = world.named("beamer").getPosy;
    } Any ideas on how to solve this (common) problem in good coding are most welcome.

    I think you are best off if you use static methods and static fields only in your World class. That way you don't have to instantiate it and everyone has access to its methods. This would be then completely analogous to how you access methods and fields of the well-known class System (e.g. when you use System.out.println). This also has the advantage that you are guaranteed to have only one copy of the World.
    Here is an example of how your World class, Avatar class and main code would look like.
    Main code: (note the use of capital W in the name World, referring to class rather than instance).
    // no need to instantiate World, as we call its static methods only
    World.newElement (new Beamer ("beamer", 20. , 20.));
    World.newElement (new Avatar ("avt", "beamer"));  // add an avatar which is "beamed up". World class: (note the static keyword in front of the vector and the methods)
    public class World {
      private static Vector v;       // static field, only one copy of it ever exists
      public static void newElement(Element e)   // static method, can call without instantiating world
         v.addElement(e);
      public static Element named(String n)  // use to look up elements
         ... some code which goes through v and finds element named "n" ...
         ... return reference to that element ...
    }and finally the Avatar: (again note the use of reference to World as a class rather than instance)
    public class Avatar extends Element {
         public Avatar (String n, String beamer){
              name = n;
              posx = World.named("beamer").getPosx;
              posy = World.named("beamer").getPosy;
    } The above example is how I would implement it when you don't actually need instances of the World class.

  • HT5163 Hi. Can u use a paperclip instead of the sim tool or will it damage the ipad? There does not appear to be a tool in the box!

    There does not appear to be a tool in the box. Can you use a paperclip on the ipad? Will it damage it?
    Do you insert it into the edge of the slot or in the hole?

    Hello Dan,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Yes you can use a paperclip to eject the SIM card, you just simply press in the tiny hole of the SIM card tray.

  • Instead of the cover of one music album, the cover of a podcast is displayed!

    I have a strange problem: the cover of one of my albums isn´t displayed! Instead of the right cover there is the cover of a podcast. This problem occurs by listening to the album´s music. In all other cases the cover is displayed in the right way.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Information: I´ve got an iPod touch 4G iOS 4.3.3 and a pc running windows7.

    If you want the local user account to use a specific UID to match an account in your Open Directory setup then it is not necessary to manually create a local user with a matching UID. The normal approach is to set the Mac up to automatically create a mobile account that matches the Open Directory account. When the user logs in on the Mac for the first time the user account would be created with the matching UID, matching short and full names, and matching password and the password will be kept in sync with the Open Directory account. This setting can be done via Workgroup Manager and MCX preferences if you still use that method, or more typically these days via a setting in Profile Manager. (Or equivalent.)
    If you really must create a local account with a specific UID then create the local account as normal, make sure you have if needed unlocked the padlock in Users & Groups in System Preferences and then Option-Click on the user account on the left, a menu will appear listing the choice "Advanced Options..." and this will let you change the UID.
    Note: You may need to later do the following in Terminal.app
    sudo chown -R user /Users/user

  • Why can I not get the normal firefox start page instead of the "yourall-in-one page I currently have

  • GT60 2PC 3K keeps using intel graphics instead of nvidia?

    Hiya, having incredibly frustrating issues with my GT60 here.
    Out of the box, this thing works relatively OK, except the version of Win 8 that's installed on it has some memory leak issues when running fullscreen applications. No big deal, run windows update and that turned out be sorted. However, now its got the awful Intel onboard graphics as the main graphics processor. Majority of games won't start because it won't support direct X and other shenanigans like that. Disabling the intel graphics in device manager had some small effect, I actually got my games to start but as soon as they try to render anything more than a loading screen, i get "out of video memory" errors, so it's like it's still refusing to use the nvidia card. This was all working fine before I did any windows updates except for the random memory leaks that would suddenly lag the crap out of games for a while. Anyone had any issues like this with a GT60 3K or similar series? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello gorgoncola
    Have you tried to recover the system and try the same scenario?
    Is your game running okay on a clean-recovered system? Or it actually didn't run on NVIDIA graphics card?
    Not all applications are detected by NVIDIA graphics driver and sometimes you'll need to manually add them to the detecting list (in the NVIDIA Control Panel) to automatically switch to NVIDIA graphics card to run them. 

  • IntegratedWeblogicServer keeps using port 7101 instead of 7001

    I'm getting the following error when trying to run my project:
    <Feb 21, 2011 3:03:30 PM EST> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <Server started in RUNNING mode>
    User: weblogic, failed to be authenticated.
    **** Authentication error while connecting to application server IntegratedWebLogicServer. Please check settings.
    **** Failed to complete start-up of application server IntegratedWebLogicServer.
    [Server Instance IntegratedWebLogicServer is shutting down.  All applications currently running will be terminated and undeployed.]
    [Forcing termination of IntegratedWebLogicServer]
    taskkill /F /PID 5576
    Process exited.
    When I change the port to 7001 in the IntegratedWeblogicServers properties and click “Test” everything checks out. However, when I run the project it still uses 7101 and fails. When I go back into the properties 7101 is listed again. Why is this happening?

    Maybe I'm confused...I thought I had to have an external WLS instance running in order to test. I was putting the connection info into JDev that corresponded with the connection info of the AdminServer I started up via the Start Menu. Assuming that's wrong and I should use JDev's built in Webserver...
    I just start JDeveloper up by itself, I’m assuming the port it wants is 7101 because that’s what it lists in the properties and that’s what it’s been trying to use all along…and I go to that URL and nothing comes up. Do I have to manually start something inside JDeveloper? When I go to Run > Start Server Instance I get the same old error
    User: weblogic, failed to be authenticated.

  • Can I use iMovie '11 instead of the new iMovie '13?

    I really don't like the new iMovie program.  It took me over a year to get used to iMovie '11 which came with my computer and I would rather just stick with that program and not use the new iMovie '13.  Can I do this and if so how? 
    Thanks in advance! 

    Yes, you can do this. You should be able to find the iMovie 11 in a folder within your Applications folder. This folder is called iMovie 9.0.9. You should see the icon for iMovie in this folder. Drag it to your Dock, and you can use it like always.

  • How do I use the money on my iTunes account instead of the credit card on family share

    I have money on my iTunes account from a gift card, but how do I use that money instead of the credit card on the family share account. Every time I try to make a purchase asked for the security code for the credit card instead of just using the money on my account.

    Buy stuff.
    If you are asking about getting the cash value out, it is not possible.  The credit balance can only be used for purchases in the iTunes Store.

  • Using Relative Path instead of Full Path OMBPlus

    Can we use relative paths in OMBPlus scripts instead of full paths. For example all my OMBplus (tcl) scripts are in folder;
    C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg
    and the MDX file I would like to deploy is in
    C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\scripts\dwextract\tables
    but when I try to use
    OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE '../scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
    instead of
    OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE 'C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
    It does not work.
    I use
    call "C:\OraHome_1\owb\bin\win32\OMBPlus.bat" "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILE
    in order to execute.
    I think it is because It set the OMBPlus.bat location is a base folder. Any way to overcome this issue and use relative paths instead of the full path?

    OK, a couple of things. First, you need to remember that TCL treats back-slashes as an escape character. Always use forward slashes in your paths, or double up the back slashes .
    So, this should work:
    CD "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
    call OMBPlus.bat "C:\\tfsroot2\\Interfaces and Extracts\\branches\\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\\000 - OWB Prototype\\deploy\\ora.stg\\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEor this:
    CD "C\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
    call OMBPlus.bat "C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEAs an FYI for OMB, if you are prone to doing a lot of scripts and so building libraries of common functions, you can also easilly use the "file" command in order to determine the current directory at runtime so you can plunk your script anywhere with it's required libraries and it will be able to source them at runtime.
    For example, all our scripts have this basic bit of code at the beginning so we can pass them between developers and it doesn't matter where anyone put their script directory - the scripts will find the libraries as long as they are co-located:
    #  Get Current Directory and time
    set dtstmp     [ clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y%m%d_%H%M}]
    set scrpt      [ file split [file root [info script]]]
    set scriptDir  [ file dirname [info script]]
    set scriptName [ lindex $scrpt [expr [llength $scrpt]-1]]
    set cnfg_lib "$scriptDir/ombplus_config.tcl"
    set owb_lib  "$scriptDir/omb_library.tcl"
    set sql_lib  "$scriptDir/omb_sql_library.tcl"
    #  Import Lbraries
    #      Assumes that owb_config, omb_library, and omb_sql_library are in the same directory as this
    #      script.
    #get config file
    if [catch { set retstr [ source $cnfg_lib ] } errmsg] {
       puts "**********************************************************************"
       puts "* Libraries are missing from the current directory. Exiting.... *"
       puts "**********************************************************************"
       return -code 2
    #get standard library
    source $owb_lib
    source $sql_lib
    #  Set Logfile
    #    This will overwrite anything set in the config file.
    set LOG_PATH "$scriptDir/logs"
    file mkdir $LOG_PATH
    set    SPOOLFILE  ""
    append SPOOLFILE $LOG_PATH "/log_"  $scriptName "_" $tabName "_" $dtstmp ".txt"
    # Now the main script body goes from here.Cheers,
