Update to windows 8.1 Load MMdriver not responding

After I updated my windows 8 professional to windows 8.1, first the graphics drivers stopped working. So I downloaded the intel and amd graphics driver form hp support page. 
Now the intel graphics is running fine, but the amd graphics driver is not working. Everytime the laptop starts after 1-2 minutes "Load MMdriver application has stopped working" error comes which disables the highperformance ATI graphics.
Please help what can be done here to solve this issue.
I downloaded http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59936.exe which is dated 2012-11-26 but still is the only driver which actually installs, other lates drivers from the amd abruptly stops through install. Also it is recommended from hp support page for my laptop.
My laptop specs
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC 2230ee
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Radeon (TM) HD 7670M
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000

I found this thread sometime ago as I have had the same problems installing the graphics.
HP Pavilion dv7-6b01tx
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 on board
AMD HD 6700M card
8Gb ram
17" 1920x1080 monitor
My issue is now the 'Load MM driver....' but it is deeper than that.
My laptop came with W7 preinstalled and I have since upgraded to W8.1 and got nothing but more problems.
At my last rebuild (I am up to double figures on complete rebuilds trying to fix this) I followed the specific order of installation as given here, chipset, mei etc, I even disabled windows automatic 'look for missing drivers option' so that it didn't install my graphics card itself.
Every time the onboard graphics installer tells me that my laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirements and exits. Eventually I found that doing a windows update at that point (again trying to avoid an auto install of the graphics card) would install the onboard device, then onto the graphics card. Going to Intels site didn't help. (Hope your following this).
This has been the best result to date, apart from the MM driver issue, which is not every time and the fact my screen stays blank after closing the lid (open and close a couple of times fixes that). That may give you the idea of just how hopeless this has been. It also stopped the regular BSOD's that I'd been getting, that's yet another issue.
The fact that I found the 'strict installation routine' on a forum and not on HP's site points to deeper problems.
During one rebuild I left all the drivers off and used the HP site to discover my machine (it did) and check for missing drivers, it came back that everything was up to date. I laughed like a drain at that one.
What has brought me here has been recent, impromptu, discussions with other people and because this issue is the most typical example of the 'HP disease' I could find. Those conversations were basically mocking me, or trying to, for ever buying a HP in the first place. I contended that I'd broken a lifetimes promise that I would never buy a HP, but this machine was about the only choice at the time that met my requirements. Don't get me wrong I don't regret buying it, when it works, well ok when the faults are bearable (error messages, drivers not loading, BSOD, weird shut downs), it is a really nice machine.
HP no doubt will take the view that they sold me a machine with W7 on it and it is now 18 months past warranty. That they are being 'nice' to provide support for another operating system. Not the best way to get returning customers and the simple fact that it really wasn't any better with W7, there was a time when the family knew this laptop by the nickname 'Bluescreen'.
I can't ever really be totally down on HP, I did make good money some 15 years ago going round fixing folks computer problems, without HP I would have gone broke very very quickly.
So there it is, reading the replies on this thread just tell me, don't waste your time mate, HP is simply HP and that will never change. When this machine finally goes belly up (most folks think I've doen well to get to 2.5 years use, I back up everyday) then I will return to that 'lifelong' promise that I broke and simply pay what it takes to get a proper machine with porper support made by proper computer people.
Ah, that feels better!

    sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it  keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.

  • My ipad is locked and it tells me to update my icloud but the screen is not responding to my touch?

    How do I get my screen unlocked so that I can update my ipad.  The screen is not responding to my touch, instead it is telling me... " This ipad hasnt been backed up in  12 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connnected to wi-fi".  Does this mean that I cant use this untill it is all done backing everything up? And how do I begin to use it since it says its locked?

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    After it boots up again, you will be able to use the iPad. You should backup the iPad like the message is telling you to do.

  • Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

    Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

    I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
    I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

    If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
    If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
    If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.

    Hi blue,
    Assuming that your Internet connectivity is working fine otherwise—
    Try moving (if you'd like to replace it if this doesn't fix the problem) or deleting the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.
    If that doesn't work, I'd go to Apple's downloads page and get the 10.5.4 combo updater and install that. That might fix it.
    Hope that helps!

  • HT1338 "The Software Update Server (10.0.1.250) is not responding."

    My network works well. But I still get this message "The Software Update Server (10.0.1.250) is not responding."

    Are you using a local server for software updates? That IP address is internal, must be on your local network. If so, check with your server administrator.
    Best of luck.

  • After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes does not think I have high definition display. Playback with other internet apps is in high def, but not iTunes.

    I updated to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.  Now when I try to play high definition movies, iTunes says they can not play back on my display which is low def.  My display has high resolution and display settings are correct.  Other websites play back in high def.  Just not iTunes.

  • After trying a software update it froze midway and is now not responding and not being recognised by itunes. Help!!

    Hi
    My 3rd Gen Ipod Touch was undergoing a software update when it stopped and itunes threw up a message saying "Update cannot be completed due to an unknown error". I disconnected and reconnected the ipod, and itunes suggested I restore the ipod. I started the restore and it froze midway and again said "Cannot be completed due to unknown error". The ipod is now frozen with the apple logo and an empty progress bar. It is not responding to anything. Windows is recognising it by opening Itunes but Itunes is not showing the divice in the pane. I dont know what to do! Please help!

  • Mail incessantly loading AND not responding

    hello, thank you for reading my post!
    i have a problem: i got my mac membership a few months ago, set up mail, & everything was working beautifully. then about some time last week, when i clicked on "mail," the mail application opened, but my inbox was empty. the beachball started spinning around, letting me know that it was loading. i wasn't fazed at first...but it kept doing that for about 15 minutes. i can't click on anything or manipulate any buttons (file, edit, help..nada). i always have to "force quit" mail from the apple (it shows up in the little "force quit" window as "not responding"). oh, and i can never force quit while in mail, i always have to open another program like safari or something such to be able to do it. i'd really appreciate your feedback..please help
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    thank you for answering to my post actually, you know what, mail was just being ..foolish. i was taking pictures in photo booth, and by accident i clicked on "email." Mail loaded, and voilà! what do you know, there goes all my mail from my multiple accounts. only, some of the mail that i had previously deleted (from my multiple inboxes) was still there. i still can't believe that the solution was so simple..and accidental. i'm sorry if i made you go through a lot of work. i waited about a week to make sure that the problem wouldn't fix itself.
    thank you so much!! if mail acts up again and my "solution" (lol if you can call it that..) doesn't work, i'll try what you said. thanks again!

  • Updated to 5.0 is -now- constantly "not responding"

    updated to 5.0 >MOZILLA > help/about Firefox says "up to date"> now MOZILLA is "not responding and "freezes/screen goes gray" every 4 clicks or so... it's gotten so bad I have to restart compute just get it to act at all. Firewall not an issue- MOZILLA is an allowed "trusted" site- it always worked before update... any suggestions?

    Apparently phone is synced over icloud.
    So, since we both share the same account and both sync over icloud, I guess our contacts were synced.
    I guess we are the only two people in the world who have two iphones on one account.
    I did not see a way to separate contacts.
    Thanks for trying.
    I guess we have to get separate itunes accounts and delete contacts manually.
    While I'm here, glad to learn that all my apps are deleted on sync unless I check the box to NOT DELETE APPS ON SYNC.
    Since the box is unchecked, I guess most people prefer to NOT sync their apps so by default people loose all their apps upon sync.

  • I cant open - restore window window opens then it does not respond

    i cant open - restore window window opens then it does not respond

    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you mean the entire GUI of PrPro, or just one of the Panels?
    I would look into Resetting the WorkSpace first, to see if that clears up the issue.
    If not, I would trash the Prefs for PrPro, to see if it's from a corrupt Prefs file.
    If you still have no luck, then perhaps post much more detail, so that we know what you are faced with, and probably a screen-cap of what you are seeing.
    Good luck,

  • After updating Camera Window DC, camera lens will not open

    I had been for a few years using with no problems my Powershot SX100 IS with the software provided at the time of purchase on an earlier Macmini. I would connect the power cable and usb cable and was able to take macro photos of coins etc.
    I recently switched to a new Macmini and installed the software from CD (solution disk ver. 31.1) that accompanied the PowerShot when purchased. I did notice not everything was able to install as previously. So I updated from the software on your site to  include Camera Window 8.9.1.5, but now my PowerShot SX100 IS lens will not open while connected to my Mac.
    The software installed is as follows: ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg.gz, psx-upd-3-2-6-28-r8-u03-9l.dmg.gz and cdx-inst-8-9-1-5-u01-9l.dmg.gz.
    What can I do?

    footlooze,
    Because of how new OS 10.9.1 is, there is not a version of CameraWindow DC that is officially compatible yet.  I recommend that you continue to visit the website as new updates are made available in the future.
