The graphics memory is shown as -879.629. why is that ? is that a problem?

i have a ATI mobility radeon HD6370 on my HP laptop dv7-4285dx. the graphics memory is shown as -879.629. Why is that? is there a problem ?

That's almost 880 MB of video ram or almost 1 GB of video RAM, which is normal for that card as it's rated at 1024MB of RAM.
I don't see a problem...

After downloading the5.0 exe file, i don't get the page(browser) as shown in it's ad. I mean: that red firefox multitab tab button on top left, & other things (shown with tabs & explained in ad feature). I get the old page(browser) i have.

I clicked the blue link: "Upgrade Firefox to the latest version", below the firefox box. In the next page, i clicked a blue link: "Take a tour". In the 3rd page it shows how thenew browser will look like, with the new features.. explainedby tabs and all. I then clicked the download button.
Next, i don't get that new-view browser. How is it? i get the old one i have already.
I also downloaded Gujarati language tool-something.
I then tried 4 times: total 5 times same download from red download buttons on different pages....
Yet no result. I get the same old browser, with no new features.
Also, I rebooted my pc. But to no effect.
Help pl
Thanx

It looks that the update wasn't successful because your "More system details" list still shows a Firefox 3.6.18 version.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I combine 3 different invoices to create a single file,when it is done combining the files,all three invoices are the same,but i picked 3 different invoices,why does it do that?

i combined 3 different invoices to create a single file,when the program is done combining the files it makes all the invoices the same,it does not have the other 2 invoices in it,makes 3 copies of the first invoice,why does it do that?

I was having the same problem. The trick is to flatten the forms before combining. It is in the tools - print production menu. If print production isn't there click on where I am indicating with the top blue arrow.

Qosmio F750 - How to change dedicated graphics memory to 2GB...

In order to get my Qosmio F750 ready to run some games, I have updated all of the drivers on via the toshiba website and NVIDIA website while also downloading the relevant software. This includes updating the BIOS to version 2.00.
According to the [laptop specifications given on the Toshiba website|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/qosmio/f750/pqf75a-02y00q/specifications],
I should have the following allocation of memory to the graphics:
"4095MB Total: 2048MB dedicated memory + 2047MB shared memory"
When I go to check the Performance Information and Tools window, I get shown the following information:
Graphics
Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
Total available graphics memory: 1696 MB
Dedicated graphics memory: 64 MB
Dedicated system memory: 0 MB
Shared system memory: 1632 MB
Display adapter driver version: 9.18.13.1422
Primary monitor resolution: 1366x768
DirectX version: DirectX 10
Of course, when I look carefully at the laptop specifications, I realize that the current graphics memory allocation corresponds to the Power Saving Mode i.e. graphics allocation when running on battery power
Normally this would be fine, however, I do not see any change in the info displayed even when I am running on AC power.
I have checked all of my power settings but even when everything is set to 'performance mode', the information displayed stays the same.
I try to look in the system bios to manually change the graphics allocation but no such option exists. Rather all options are set to performance mode...
So my ultimate question is, *How can I change the graphics memory allocation to performance mode as indicated in the system specifications?*
Is this something that occurs automatically without changing the displayed info?
Is there a driver that I have forgotten to update? Has a driver update caused this?
Has a BIOS update caused this?
On a side note, when checking the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, I the directx version is displayed as version 11. So I thought the issue was with the displayed information. But even on the Diagnostic Tool gives me the same info.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks,
Omair

Okay I think I get it now.
The Performance Info and Tools Window only shows the information on the Intel HD Graphics 3000.
When the specs sheet says power saving mode it means graphics using only the Intel HD Graphics.
However because of Optimus, the notebook can use either the Intel GRaphics card or the nVidia GPU.
The performance mode in the specs sheet refers to when the notebook is using the nVidia GPU.
The integrated gpu and the dedicated gpu do not run at the same time but Optimus switched between the 2 of them whenever the situation requires it. Whatever it switches to decides which 'mode' the notebook is using. The memory allocations for these 'modes' will match those of the specs sheet.
But any information about the graphics memory will not change as it only displays the info on the integrated gpu.
Well, I can finally understand what the previous posts were referring to and why the posts themselves were pretty short (there wasn't any problem needing to be fixed!).
Thank you for all of your help Randy, Akuma and PauPau

Can I change the graphic card on Toshiba Satellite S55-A5295 or add more dedicated video RAM?

Hello, I am wondering if it was possible to change my graphics card. Currently its using the basic (Intel HD Graphics 4000/Family). If thats not possible then I'd also like to know if it was possible to dedicate more video RAM since it currently has 64MB out of the total 1696 avaliable graphics memory. And before someone mentions the BIOS option sadly its not shown there. Please let me know if I have any options!

There is no option to change the GPU on this laptop model. As per memory sharing, it is done automatically by the chipset sharing around 10-20% of the physical memory to the graphics memory.
What will you be using the higher ram?
Is it gaming, media editing (video / photo), or 3D editing?

LENOVO 3000 N200 LAPTOP graphics memory doesn't exceed 128mb on Windows XP

i have a lenovo 3000 n200 laptop model 0769-a58
it is equiped with mobile intel gm 965 chipset " X 3100 "
under windows vista the graphics memory reads up to 384 mb with shader v. 3.0
while when i install windows xp the graphics memory doesn't exceed 128 mb with shader v. 2.0
i already tried the latest graphics drivers from intel.com & the latest bios driver from lenovo.com
i even upgraded the RAM to 3 GB
i would be thankfull if anyone answers my problem

My guess is that it IS a Vista problem, since other devices
work, and you have tried your new devices on a different
system.
Some one else may have a different solution, but that is
where I would concentrate my troubleshooting.

How to set on-board graphics memory of my macbook?

I've installed Arch Linux in my macbook pro (2011 early 13inch).
I've upgraded RAM from 4G to 8G, and in OS X, this doubled graphics memory from 256MB to 512MB automatically.
However, in Arch Linux, the graphics memory is recognized only as 256MB which is original value before memory upgrading.
I wonder if I can adjust GRAM to expand it.

Hum, interesting. I have Intel HD4000 and 16GB of ram. I should have quite a lot of video ram, like 1GB.
It is very, very possible that we do have more video ram but what we are looking at is not telling us what we think it is. I was fairly sure that Intel Graphics did all it's video ram scaling stuff on it's own.

MacBook Pro 13,3 and 15,4 : graphic memory

I would like to buy a MacBook Pro but I'm worried about the graphic memory. On the MacBook Pro 13,3 tech specs I can read:
"NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"
Shared? Does this mean that the video card hasn't got dedicated RAM?
On the other hand in the MacBook Pro 15,4 tech specs I can read:
"NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory on 2.4GHz; Intel HD Graphics with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"
Please could you explain me what does they mean with "shared" memory?
How about performance? Usually NB has a lot more video memory such as 1GB...

As I wrote above, I've been doing lots of work in Adobe CS4 applications using the integrated GPU and *its 256MB of "shared" RAM (not really shared, because only the GPU can use it)*. I have 4GB of RAM installed, and I'm getting my work done just fine in 3.75GB of it.
If nothing we can say will reassure you, then you'd better buy some other computer.
Precisely. It appears that the integrated graphics engine has 256MB of dedicated memory available, but it's advertised as "shared" because it comes from the (main) system memory. In reality, it's not the 256MB of graphics memory that's being "shared", it's the 4GB of system RAM that's being shared
And 4GB is plenty of RAM.
Also consider this: the discrete graphic cards available on the 2.4Ghz and 2.53Ghz 15" MBP come with 256MB of dedicated RAM. Only the top two configurations have 512MB of RAM available (the i7 15" and the 17" models).
You should be fine.

9400 Graphics Memory Allocation

For the GeForce 9400M chip is it possible to increase the graphics memory allocation if I were to upgrade the system memory?
In other words: Does the GeForce 9400M chip and Mac OS Leopard+ support dynamic memory allocation for the graphics memory?
If I increase the system RAM from 2GB to 4GB will the 9400 graphics memory allocation increase from 256MB to 512MB?
(The Intel graphics chipset supported it)

No. The 9400 uses 256 MBs of RAM, no more.

Strange issue with graphic memory in Satellite Pro 4600

When I try to open two windows at the same time, the operating system seems to fail. Only option is to restart.
For example: find a page on Google, select the page, and use a link at the current page. Display shows two screens, but no action is possible.
Operating system is Win98SE?
Can anyone help me?

It may not be the graphic memory because when something is wrong with graphic component you will usually see artifacts such as dots and lines.
You may try to remove one of the main memory first, (not graphic memory it's not possible) and if that doesn't fix it then,
try to install the win98 again and if that still doesn not fix the problem
it could be your motherboard or the graphic card as you mentioned, which means, in either case since the graphic card is stuck on the motherboard, you will need to replace the motherboard.

Graphics memory upgrade

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics memory on the new 27" iMACs? They give the option of 1 or 2 GB of memory but is that one of those soldered in components or can memory be added after the purchase?

The graphics options are a custom build option only. The graphics have to be chosen prior to purchase.
True, however, that doesn't mean that that the video card as a spare part doesn't exist. The video is not integrated onto the logic board as it is on other systems like the notebooks.

Increase graphics memory

Is there any way to increase the graphics memory of my MBP 13" 2012.????

It seems that increasing the RAM in a 13" MBP will increase the RAM allocated for graphics; Look at this discussion:

Dedicated Graphics Memory

Hi there,
My current dedicated graphics memory is only 512 mb and it barely meets the minnimum requirement for most games. After reviewing a few videos online I leanred that this may be changed throgh the system bios however there is simply no such option in my current BIOS version (I already installed the most recent BIOS update).
So this brings me to my question. Is there any way (perhaps a program or something of that nature) to increase the dedicated graphics memmory or am I stuck with this amount?
(My laptop model is: HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx)
Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have never heard of anyone being able to change the graphics memory allocation by any means.
If you want to try different things, go ahead and let us know if anything works because hundreds of people have asked this question and hundreds have been disappointed.
If you want to replace the motherboard for a supported one listed in the service manual for your model if available, that may have better graphics, that would be your only option.
I would buy a new notebook before I went that route.

Equium A110-276 - why Shared Graphics Memory is not set to max 128 MB?

I have an Equium A110-276 and the maximum memory of the graphics is 128MB...
Now, when I bought this notebook, it says that the graphics memory is 128MB which is correct.
So I can play high graphics games and applications.
After 9 months, the shared memory for the graphics became 64MB! What the?!
Now when I play and use the applications which need 128MB, they're notifying me that my graphics memory is 64MB which is low and the applications may become slow.
Anyone had this problem?
I tried contacting Toshiba and they said that I need to put more RAM, I tried to call 4 times and they always say the same thing... but I already have 1024MB of RAM which is enough... My problem is why the motherboard or the BIOS is not sharing up to 128MB of RAM for the graphics...

Hi
The Equium A110-276 supports a Intel 945GM graphic chip!!!!
The Intel graphic cards assign the shared memory automatically!!! The graphic driver controls the memory and you cannot set the amount manually!!!
If the application needs more graphic memory then the driver will assign and share the memory automatically!
Dont worry, everything looks ok!

The graphics memory is shown as -879.629. why is that ? is that a problem?
