Problems with graphics card running windows on bootcamp..

I currently have Windows Vista 32 bit installed on my mac with bootcamp. The reason I have it installed is I want to run an MMO RPG (DDO) on my mac and it is only supported on windows.
However it will not allow me to play it as it says that no graphics device could be located (Game error 122 for those that play it)
My question is how I utilise the graphics card from the mac onto windows, as the VGA adaptor doesn't seem to be sufficient??
Either that or does anyone know of a way I can play DDO through MAC OS??
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Just tried what you recommended, but still to no avail..
What's confusing me is the following;
1)When checking system performance it tells me that my graphics are as follows
Graphics - Desktop performance for Windows Aero
Gaming Graphics - 3D Buisness and Gaming graphics performance.
2)http://svc.systemrequirementslab.com explains that I cannot run the game due to my graphics being inferior (I highly doubt this).
Minimum: 64 MB video card with Hardware T&L
(NVIDIA GeForce 2+ / ATI Radeon VE+)
You Have: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
3)Just as the game is about to boot up it gives me the following message;
[Game Error 122] No suitable graphics device was found. Are you running through a rmeote session or a VM? If not, please check your video hardware capabilities.
I'm literally 30seconds away from throwing this macbook out the window, please can anyone help?!
Thanks x

Hp pavilion 15-p00nx Problem with graphics cards in Windows 8.1

I just bought an Hp pavillion 15-p005nx , as i run any game i have a massage that my graphic card is low , but the graphic card is NVIDA Geforce 840M and Intel HD graphic family but the games see only the intel video card what should i do ?? !!

Hello @MeZoOo
Welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that your trying to play games on your notebook and would like it to run off the Nvidia graphics. I will try to assist with this.
The easiest way to achieve this is by going into Device Manager, clicking the "+" next to display adapters and disabling the Intel. Restart the notebook, this will force the Nvidia adapter to be the primary. This would mean the notebook no longer runs the Intel, which eliminates switchable graphics. If you've bought the notebook to "game" on, then I'd recommend this.
The other option that may work, is using the HP Support Assistant to make sure the drivers are up to date, even though just bought it the drivers installed may not be the newest, this can effect performance.
I hope this is able to help you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Problems with graphics card with CS5

I am working a freelace gig using a G5 computer with Lion.
When using CS5 photoshop there seems to be a problem using
Mode/Index/Custom when using the eyedropper to select colors.
I use the work around "key command" which is totally anoying.
There is also a bug with the color picker/eydropper within the documents.
I read that this has to do with the graphics card.
Which graphics card do I need to resolve this issue?

There are known issues/limitations with graphics cards in earlier machines.
Known issues | Adobe on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
Tested video cards | Photoshop CS5 - Adobe
We need to know specific about your Mac Pro (not a G5).
Click on "About This Mac" from the  in the menu bar, then "More Information" followed by "System Report".

Problems with graphics card with Windows 8 bootcamp on new imac

I just purchased a new 2013 imac (27inch, with the nvidia geforce gtx 680mx 2gb).
I partitioned the drive using bootcamp and successfully installed windows 8 pro 64bit as well as the support softward from Apple for the drivers.
My problem is that the display in windows says it is being run by a Microsoft basic display adapter and only using 256mb of memory and doesn't seem to be an Nvidia card at all, let alone the 2gb of video memory I am supposed to have.
I have tried downloading drivers directly from Nvidia, but when I run them it says I don't have compatible hardware.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this issue.
Please help.

After I read other discussions on the same topic, I found out that the problem is that when you install the drivers via the Bootcamp "windows support software" USB key, for some reason the NVIDIA drivers are not installed, although they are present in the Bootcamp folder.
How I solved the issue: Starting from the Peripherals Manager window (the one that shows all what is inside your machine), I opened the Graphic card "folder" and double-clicked on the "VGA standard card" line.
Then I clicked on a "install driver" button, browse through files, and selected the NVIDIA folder within the Bootcamp folder on the USB key.
It took some time but after that it had fully recognized the GTX 680 MX card.
I rebooted and the system itself set up to the 2560 x 1440 resolution.

[T410] discrete gfx - Problem with Video Card and Windows Aero -anyone using 4Gb memory modules?

[3/3/2010 Update]
There's a issue of using 4Gb sticks on T410 currently that results in video output artifacts and aero interface problems when using Lenovo supplied drivers v8.16.11.8825. I think I can call it confirmed (Three people including me face this issue).
Possible workaround is to install modified EliteBook 8440p video driver (read along this thread) comes with a BIG drawback of not being able to change brightness level within Windows 7. To sweeten it a little bit - you can set luminance level at POST screen, when computer boots up.
[Original Message]
Encountered strange behavoir of my T410.
I have a T410 with 256Mb of Video Memory and 1440x900 display, a T61 with 128Mb of Video Memory and 1400x1050 dsplay and external monitor HP w2338h with 1920x1080 resolution.
If I connect external monitor to my T410 and launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - image blinks and comes back with Aero disabled. Looking through event logs reveals the lack of memory. Entry information can be found further.
Now If I do the same with my old Thinkpad T61, connect the same monitor using the same cable - I can open as many Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instances I like (tried 5) and nothing blinks and Aero stays enabled.
Actually I find ridiculous, a notebook with more VRAM cannot archive the same performance as notebooks with less.
Does anyone know what path should I pursue to solve this issue?
UPDATE: Simply running multiple instances of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 without external monitor causes Aero disabled as well.

This must be buggy drivers, on Lenovo download site is just the one and the only initial driver for T410 graphics card.

Satellite A660-1HL - problems with graphics card

Hello!
This is my first thread so I apologize if I do something wrong and for my bad English. :)
Just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-1hl with two graphics cards, one integrated and a GeForce GT 330M. The integrated works fine but when I switch to the dedicated I encounter problems. The resolution can not be set in optimum mode and windows in the operatingsystem (windows 7) lags when moving around. I can not get any info about the card in all sorts of temperature programs or dxdiag and the such like.
I tried to install drivers from nvidia, Toshiba and windows update without any improvement. I can not run Windows expreince index because I get an error message or any average games do to I encounter error messages there as well. I'm starting to doubt that the drivers even installed.
I hope you guys can help me out :)
this is the error messages i get:

You should test the RAM (Memory) for problems using the Microsoft Memory Test or www.memtest.org (bootable CD).
To confirm it's a hardware problem, you should backup your documents and run Recovery.
If the problem still happen on a fresh image, then the notebook should go to an ASP (Toshiba Service Center) for repairs (possibly a Mainboard replacement).

Problems with Graphic Card

Hi, I'm a newbie on Archlinux and I just install it on my rellativlly old computer (Dell Optiplex GX270). I follow all steps of the Begginers guide and when I finally install and run the desktop environment (KDE) the desktop effects runs with lots of problems and I hardly can desactivate them. This is not a big problem because I would desactivate them anyway, but also the look of fonts is very poor. Antialiasing is activated and it's obvious that it is, but the appareance of fonts is still very poor.
I post it in this section because I don't think it is a KDE missconfiguration, but a Graphic card bad choice of drivers or perhaps a missconfiguration of this.
My graphic card is an "Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller", and I install "xf86-video-intel". When i intall it I don't do nothing more to configure xorg because guide says that it is optional for free controllers.
There is a pair of pics of the appareance of the fonts (by the way, i think firefox looks worst if it is possible):

Hi! I think, it's not your graphic card, but further configuration of fonts and look of gtk apps.
Follow this Wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gtk. Firefox is GTK-based, you need to configure GTK (file ~/.gtkrc-2.0).
Also, for configuring Fonts: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts. And as your laptop is old, try using lighter programs and DE. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … plications
Goof luck!

Problems with graphics card

hi,
I have a notebook hp pavilion dv6940el running windows vista home basic 32-bit.
Because of problems I had to format your PC and reboot windows I recognize a generic video card and all games do not work.
If I try to install the updated drivers from the HP website, windows recognizes the video card nvidia geforce 8400M GS but on reboot when it should load the operating system makes the monitor strips.
I have also tried with older drivers, I tried to update the bios to 'latest version, but nothing.
can someone help me?
thanks

Hi:
From what you have written, the video is shot on the motherboard.
Very common problem with that model. There was actually a recall on that board many years ago due to the huge amount of failures. The window for the recall has long been closed though.
There are some you tube videos for how to try and fix the problem.

If it were me, I would buy a new or refurbished notebook.

Problems with graphics card (GPU)

I'm having problems with the graphics card (GPU) in my 2010 MB Pro leading to screen distortions. It seems similar to the problems described here: http://9to5mac.com/2014/10/28/apple-class-action-lawsuit-2011-macbook-pro-gpu-gr aphics-issues
Unfortunately, my machine is not eligible under the class-action suit (and well out of warranty). Is anyone else dealing with this and how did you fix it?
Thanks!

What was updated? Care to pastebin your pacman.log so we might actually know what went wrong? Also, in the future, naming a thread "update broke <package>" is not very helpful. Something like "OpenGL-dependant programs fail to run after updating <the package you think to be most relevant>" would be much more helpful and likely garner you many more people willing and able to help.
All the best,

Hello @CrazyWolf ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, the Switchable Graphics feature allows you to switch between using the Intel graphics and a discrete graphics controller like AMD in a computer. For example, you can switch between the enhanced battery life of the Intel graphics while running on laptop battery power and the performance capabilities of the discrete graphics controller while the laptop is plugged into AC power. Your Notebook will automatically switch to the Intel graphics if the computer changes to battery power, or it can switch to the discrete graphics if the computer is plugged into AC power. Some computers use third party software to do the switch.
I hope this help explain this.

Thank you for replying. I had no idea I had a response. It is a Windows 7 Home Premium. The game is actually now a few different ones for my child, Baby Luv, Brave & Disney Princesses. None of them will work. I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 graphics card in this (Compaq Presario All-In-One Desktop PC) and I just posted another question in the forum about wanting to know if I can replace the grahics card with a HD card and if so how? I have looked online but can't find an answer. Is it possible to replace the card or with it being an all-in-one is it not possible? Thank you.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes, that is what is supposed to happen.
Your notebook has dynamic graphics adapters.
On notebooks with dynamic graphics adapters, you can't go into the BIOS and set the R7 adapter as the default, like you can on notebooks with fixed graphics.
The notebook will decide what GPU to use based on the demand placed on the graphics processor(s).
There haven't been any consumer notebooks made in several years that have the fixed graphics type of setup.

First of all, my english is not so good, sorry about that.

I have a problem with my graphic card, it just wont start. I mean the ATI Radeon, you can see here witch exactly.
I downloaded the driver from this page, but I think it wont match.
Here is also a screenshot with the error that i found in Device Manager. If you need more information that i can provide to you just tell me.

Hello Nocar. I understand you're having some trouble getting your video driver to work properly in Windows 8.
This error means that the device cannot start due to not having the proper driver. I searched and there does not seem to be an official driver for this hardware. However, a lot of users have reported success with installing the Windows 7 drivers in compatibility mode. You should take a look at this thread which a colleague of mine posted. It covers a possible fix for getting switchable graphics to work in Windows 8.
I hope the thread is helpful. Let me know the result.
Have a great afternoon!
