Problem with switchable graphic cards after installing windows 10

Dear support, after installing windows 10 i lost option to switch my graphic cards. I already have installed new drivers for win10 64-bit. But it doesn't work. New drivers which i downloaded here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+10+-+64 doesn't support my graphic card. So i don't know what to do to get right drivers and be able to switch my graphic cards. Thanks for any help.

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you installed Windows 10 and that switchable graphics is not working for you. I am happy to help. Unfortunately this is not something that AMD can help with, as it is a customized driver for your notebook. Did you do the Windows 10 installation as an upgrade and if so which operating system did you upgrade from? The existing HP drivers can be found here: HP Pavilion g6-1004ev Notebook PC but they are for Windows 7 or 8 depending on your choices. You could try those and install it using compatibility mode and see if that works. How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10 - answers.microsoft.com Let me know if that works for you.

T500: Switchable graphics on Windows 7 RC 32-bit?

Hi, I've got a new T500 2055-CTO with switchable graphics. Has anyone gotten this to work? Whenever I try to switch to ATI nothing happens (the mouse cursor goes into busy state for a few seconds the first time I try after a reboot).
Besides, my screen image gets corrupted periodically while working using the integrated Intel graphics, I can fix it by rearranging windows etc but quite annoying.
Also, my mouse when controlled by the trackpoint/pad will freeze up every now and then but keyboard will still work when this happens. No issues with an external USB mouse attached.
I've tried the official switchable Vista 32-bit driver and also a beta one listed here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-71851
But none of them solve the problem.
Any ideas or input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hans

Hello Hans:
I have a W500, which I think is somewhat similar to a T500 - it also has switchable graphics.
Long, long ago (back when I was using Vista before SP2), I went into the BIOS and turned off the switchable graphics feature - I told the computer to use the discrete graphics all the time, and to totally ignore the integrated graphics.
Since then, my life has been a lot simpler, the computer has been trouble-free (both on Vista SP1, Vista SP2, and W7 build 7100), and battery life has been more than sufficient for my needs (about 3 hours total, with everything set to 'high performance').
I think that the 'switchable graphics' feature is one of these things that sounds good conceptually, but is too much of a PITA in reality. I applaud Lenovo for trying it out - but, unless you really, really need it (meaning, you suffer from electricity shortages on a regular basis), it is more trouble than it is worth. Just turn it off, forget about it, and start enjoying life.

Hi ashwani26596,
Let's start by using the HP Support Assistant to check for any updates and drivers to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't work then go your Control Panel and then Programs and Features and uninstall the Catalyst Control Center. Then try installing both the Intel High-Definition Audio Driver and the AMD High-Definition Audio Driver.

Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
The things that i did:
- Reinstall Windows
- Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
- different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

@Enegue ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9. The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine. It is designed to be fore general use.
Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.
Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site. They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the graphics driver installation for W2k

I have installed windows 2000 on an A120 the system is fully service packed and up to date before I even begin installing the required drivers I am unable to restart the system. Once I install the drivers as recommended I have problems with the graphics driver as it will not install because it requires a restart and then I am unable to install any new programs that require a restart as the driver has not installed correctly.
The laptop is a A120 Pro, 1 week old and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support as I have changed the O/S even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop as they supply the drivers.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

the reason the driver is not working is down to a problem with the windows 2000 not having the ability to reboot.
When you select restart the system appears to power down then stays switched on. Now if I try to install software I get an error saying that the system needs to complete a restart to finish the install of the driver.
The restart problem happens as soon as win2k is installed as although I have now shipped the laptop to the sales team I have another one which has just had a clean install of win2k without any drivers and the fault is present on this one.
I am thinking it could be to do with power management but I'm not to sure as I have never come across this as I normally purchase machines which accept just about any O/S.

Problems with shutdown, expose and window switching

Hi there,
Recently I've been having a few issues with OS X. First of all it wasn't shutting down properly -- the menu bar would disappear and it would look like it was going to shutdown, but it never did. I could move down to the dock (on auto-hide) and it would re-appear, at which point I can bring up a terminal window and use 'shutdown' to do the job. On startup I'd reset the PRAM, and then do a disk-check, but the problem keeps coming back.
Subsequently, I've also been having problems with expose and switching windows (i.e. command-tab). Namely, neither of them work. Expose won't fire from either hot corners or the keyboard, and if I re-launch the app from the Apps folder (without trying to kill it first, I should say), it does nothing. Cmd-tab gets interpreted as just tab, and the keyboard shortcut for dashboard also fails (although I can start the dashboard from the dock).
I read in another post about an invalid jpeg in the downloads folder being able to cause the Expose problem (seems like a most unlikely bug?). Anyway, I cleared all pictures from my downloads folder and functionality came back, but now it's gone again. It's really very frustrating as it makes moving between windows a lot more hassle.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
TIA,
Mat

This sounds interesting.
Can you post a copy for the rest of us to see?
As for actually helping you, and not just satisfying our curiousity, if you start cutting pieces of the code you will probably end up finding the source of the problem (and we won't have too big a program to handle). Since DSC is a likely suspect, you may want to start there.
Also, are you creating an installer and using that to install? If not, you may wish to try that.

Problem With Captivate 4 and Windows 8

Hi,
I've a problem with Captivate 4 on Windows 8 projects :
The mouse is not tracked.
I've applied the last patch for this version (11/15/2011).
Is there another patch for this ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there
I know this will come off as sounding snarky, but please know it's honestly not intended that way,
Windows 8?
I never was able to make Captivate 4 run successfully on Windows 7. So I'm not the least bit surprised to hear it has issues with Windows 8!
Personally, I'm thinking you are due for an upgrade to Captivate if you want it to work on Windows 8. But then again, I'm not even certain if Captivate 6 is Windows 8 compatible.
Cheers... Rick

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Problem with national characters on windows client

Hello there,
I'am having problem with national characters on windows client.
All national data stored in NVARCHAR2 colums, applications (.net) works fine,
but in sqlplus:
select city from test_table;
- everything ok, sqlplus shows national characters
select dump(N'<national symbols>') from dual
- returns
Typ=96 Len=12: 0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191
select * from test_table where city = N'<national symbols> '
- always returns nothing
As i understand the problem in
sql query text (and national literals) convertion
to servers "WE8ISO8859P1" encoding, Is it possible
to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance
PS.
Console in right mode (chcp=1251)
sqlplus shows russian messages well
Server (oracle 9 on solaris):
select * from nls_database_parameters

Client (windows server 2003, oracle client 10):

N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.
