HP m6-k025dx graphics issues after 8.1 update

ok guys, so i updated to windows 8.1, and i thought i had all the stuff hp recommended, but i guess not because after the update, for some reason my graphics are acting funny. when i plug and unplug my laptop, the screen goes black for a second, like it has to think about being plugged in. also, when i use windows explorer, like the recycle bin and stuff like that it buggs out really bad and closes all windows explorer windows.
what could be causing this? could i not have up to date drivers? i tried messing with graphic options, and updating the drivers, but to no avail... any advice, at all;perhaps direct me where i may have made an error, or where i can get new drivers that work with 8.1 or something? pleas, its really annoying and i just want it fixed.
any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hello speedude960.
It appears that since updating to Windows 8.1, you've been having issue that may be related to the graphics. I will try to help you with this.
You can find updated graphics drivers here: HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k025dx Sleekbook Drivers, for your notebook.
You should see an Intel driver and a Nvidia. Please start with the Intel driver first.
I will leave you to start with just updating those drivers. Please let me know how this goes for you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.

Distiller 9 issue after a new update to Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9.3)

After installing the update, I was asked to reboot my HP Pavilion dv9617nr Notebook Computer (Windows Vista Home Edition). After the reboot, I was given an error message which explained that the ICC Color profiles in Adobe Distiller 9 could not be found and that I should reinstall my Adobe Acrobat 9 software. My question is: Yes I probably should reinstall my software but this will only be a temporary solution that will become a redundant problem when I again attempt the same update that caused the probllem initially. How can I simply back out the update? What if anything has been done to replace the update that caused the problem. Has there been any posts to this or other forums about this update problem? Please help me resolve this issue.

Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this. First download the updated
Distiller ICC profile files at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
This solved the problem for me.
This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys... folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc). Once you add these three files to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color you will be good to go.
It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing. Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

Matlab font issues after installing Java Update 2

Hey everyone,
I am a scientist and I use the program Matlab to prepare plots for papers, presentations, etc. I am already a little annoyed that when running matlab on mac there are issues of text content cut off in the figures. More importantly after the java update 2 the matlab font looks HUGE. If you change the font setting, it will look normal, but sometimes shift the text. Does anyone know how to fix this? Matlab provided a fix for the R2008 version, but nothing for the R2007 version. This program is so important to me and my work, I may have to move back to Microsoft or Linux in order to have MatLab produce the plots I need.
Please let me know if there is an efficient way to fix this problem.
Thanks,
Casey

Hi clamarche,
I have the same problem on my dual quad-core MacPro after updating Java to Java Update 3. All of my font settings were reset. However when I change the font from 12 pt to say 10pt the cursor moves as if the 12 pt font is still used so it does not line up with any characters once a few characters into the line.
I have tried removing all of my preferences and global matlab preferences, but no luck. I have not applied the Java Update 3 to my 17" MacBookPro as to avoid this problem. What version of Matlab are you using? I have R2007b.
As for text being cut-off from your plots, I have found a small but important note to do with the '-r' option for the print command. On the Mac OS X platform, for some unknown reason you should always set the resolution to '-r72'. This has fixed the problem for me. I had the same problem when saving figures as png's that were to be used later to make an animation. All of the scaling was funny until I set the resolution to 72.
I am hoping that I can find as solution. Maybe clearing the Java preferences, where ever they may be.

Pages having Korean font issues after iOS 7 update.

iWork on my ipad and iphone cannot handle Korean font after iOS 7 update. It displays Korean correctly in those documents I created before the recent iOS 7 update, but breaks down as soon as I try to edit them. Anyone has the same problem with international fonts? Is there anyway to fix the problem? Is it an iWork issue or the iOS 7 issue? It certainly does not look like a hardware issue, because other apps work fine indeed.

You should report this to Apple (as others have):

Issues after the last update Lumia 920, can't see ...

Hi.
I have this issue after the update. I do not know what's wrong but I can not see my recent calls. Neither can see my sms is sent or the ones I have taken back.
I have tried to call one of my friends. I can hear them but they can not hear me. I have also checked with my operator and they do not have the disruption will harm the network.
So what's really wrong? This happened after the last update I did. Living in Sweden, Gävle uses Tele2 comviq simcard.

When did you update? Have you tried simply rebooting your phone by pressing and holding both Vol down + power buttons for around 10 seconds until the phone vibrates? If that doesn't work, you could try resetting your phone but make sure you backup your data beforehand.

Camera issues after ios 5 update

my iphone 4 issues are as follow after ios 5 update:
camera sometimes takes low resolution photos (without zoom)
camera sometimes goes blank (blank screen)
can anyone help?

You probably haven't "lost" the zoom feature on your iPhone 4, you probably missed that you now activate it using the pinch to zoom rather than tapping on the screen...

Anyone had email issues after 3.1 update?

It seems after I read an email, it still shows it as unread, so after I close out of email, it pops back up showing email to be read. I have had to just physically delete some emails for them to not show. Anyone else seen this?

same issue here...update to 3.1.2 was no help...company I bought my Pioneer from said many customers are complaining about the same thing...no solutions that I am aware of...

Cd burning issue after installing and updating snow leopard

After installing and updating snow leapard to the latest version, the cd burner for i-tunes quit working. it says" burning disk initializing" then "burning disk finishing" comes up with the error "the attempt to burn a disk failed. the disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

First try other disks, brand new, then try another brand, then consider backup user files and (clean and polish then) c booting off the 10.6.3 disk and simply reinstalling OS X then updating to 10.6.8 again.
Hopefully this should fix the issue in OS X software, you may have to reinstall certain third party software again that it's kext files got kicked out of OS X by the reinstall.
If you get hung booting at any time, simply hold the shift key down and then update your software then reboot normally

Saving Issues after installing latest update

Today, after installing an update to my Acrobat XI Standard, I am getting an error message when trying to save .pdfs from an email to my server. The error message is: The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21). Any way to fix this?

Hi JasBell,
Which server are you trying to save to?
What happens if you copy the document to the local computer first and then copy to the server?

Bluetooth Issues after 3.1 Update

iPhone 3G worked flawlessly with 2 devices prior to update:
1 - Pioneer FH-P8000BT - 3 issues
(a) Callers now hear echo of themselves.
(b) Pairing connection goes away
(c) Call quality is worse
2 - Jabra Halo Headphones
(a) Bluetooth connection is horrible outdoors, fine indoors. Music cuts out continuously outdoors. Can't have iPhone in any pocket unless the pocket happens to be 2 inches from the headphones.

same issue here...update to 3.1.2 was no help...company I bought my Pioneer from said many customers are complaining about the same thing...no solutions that I am aware of...

Battery issue after 8.3 update

BAttery drains like ****.. Overnight drain increased 1% to 15% after this new update. Cant use phone handy need to be charged after A hour or 2

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Imac7,1 freezes with severe graphics issues after bad-tv filter

firsttly, sorry, this could be a double post, i think i forgot deleting the old one in the wrong category.
well, i don't really know if this is a common issue or whether this is firmware or snow leopard related: if i apply the bad-tv filter in fcp7 (fcs3) my screen is going crazy after a few seconds: squares and dots in all kinds of colours etc...then snow leopard freezes and i have to force a reboot. everything else is working great! any ideas or related problems out there?
i've got the 1.3 firmware update. clean install!

I was teaching an FCP class today, and I had the same problem with the Bad Film filter on four new 24" iMacs, each with 256MB ATI Graphics Card.
They were all running SN 10.6.1 and FCP 7.0.1

Constant crashes and graphical issues after updating to Yosemite

This problem started gradually. First a game I tried to launch crashed. Then I was unable to open any applications at all. I restarted the computer after having to force quit out of everything. The user sign in screen would let me type in my password and then I would get a white screen. I restarted twice more before being able to log in. Then the graphics problems started. No online videos would play. I tried opening a different game to see what would happen. That froze and made me have to restart again. The first time I got a grey striped screen. Then when I was able to log back in I got an error saying something like "a graphics problem has been detected."
I have tried.
Restarting
Hardware diagnostic test
PRAM reset
SMC reset
A second user account (logs on but I haven't been able to test it by loading a game or graphics intensive program + it's not a real fix)
Still running into the same problems if I do much more that web browsing.

Yep, mine's a mid-2010 27" iMac and it keeps giving me issues like this. This time it actually froze like this and I had to do a hard reboot. Usually the "pixel squares" come and go as I move the mouse or open and close windows. Pretty ridiculous that this wide range of iMacs are having this problem.

Serious graphical issues after processor upgrade.

I have a AGP 400 Mhz G4 Gigabit with 640 MB Ram running Tiger X.4.3. I just popped in a 500 Mhz AGP processor and everything "seemed" to be functioning normally for a bit. No Kernel Panics and the system reports back a 500 Mhz processor speed.
Then I first noticed a problem in the interface for Toast 7.02 with vertical lines evenly spaced. I had to reboot to get rid of them, but they came back.
Certain desktop pictures, some icons, and some JPGs picked these lines up too. They are evenly spaced and scale along with the image size. They show up in some online images in my browser and they can be turned on/off in certain images by clicking the little "show image with/without ICC" button in GraphicConvertor. The widgets also have dithering and diagonal lines.
I don't know what "they" are but it's ugly and it seems to coincide with my upgrade.
Here's a screenshot.
http://www.2and2.net/Priv/Picture1.png
I checked my monitor settings and all is normal there. Running 1600 x 1200 at 85 hertz for over a year on a 21" CRT. Changing monitor resolutions merely scales the lines accordingly. Changing number of colors has no effect.
I've zapped the pram. I've run all the hardware tests in TechTool Pro (all passed). I also ran some unix maintenance stuff (repaired permissions, updated prebindings, and cleared the cache files) and nothing helps.
I don't want to pull out the new processor!! Was there something else I should have done when I put in the upgrade?
Please help.

I don't know what I'm looking for.
Immediately after installing this software, I went to the control panel and there were some values in there greater than 100% already. I don't know, and the documention is somewhat ambiguous, if that's the reading from the card or the desired reading the software is/will apply. I wish I wrote those down because I then hit the "stock frequencies" button which put the two values to 0.00%
So here's what I see now-
Processor: 118.00 Mhz
0.00%
Memory: 140.00 Mhz
0.00%
So also the documentation say the following...
"The Stock Frequencies button reverts to factory settings (more precisely, settings stored in ROM, so if the card was already overclocked using Graphiccelerator, these are the frequencies which will be set)"
What does that mean? Factory settings? (unless?) somebody already overclocked it, the "stock" button reverts back to those previously overclocked settings?? If so, how could I know?
From System Profiler-
ATY,Rage128Pro:
Chipset Model: ATY,Rage128Pro
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-A
VRAM (Total): 16 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5046
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-72701-125
Either way, I still see the problem and I'm not even using the faster processor! I see the problem in only a few system icons in the dock. Finder icon, Dashboard icon, Apple support icon, and trash icon. Trash icon fixed itself for now. I'm not sure if they're left over from before and just need to be reset or what? Force quitting the dock just brings back the same.
I think I have some hardware issue that is aggravated by this version of Tiger or a faster processor.
I really need to figure out how to get my version of Apple Hardware Test so I can know for sure.
