Simply use he Catalyst GUI (from desktop context menu) to manually select which GPU to use. Setting BIOS to Dynamic mode automates the switching.

Possibly, and you would be well served to force the Intel GPU onto a newer driver. The Catalyst 12-10 installation should have done that. You might try to reinstall. Or, just do a manual driver update via Device manager and search in the AMD Cayalyst folder (where it extracted to when first run). Alternatively, the Leshcat project [1] has "modded"--modified--64-bit drivers specifically for the hybrid mode AMD/Intel GPU combos. These folks poke hard at these exact issues with HP laptop systems. Looks like the 14.4 UnifL v2.4 [2] should have good fixed/dynamic support for you on 64-bit Windows 7 SP1. =-ref-= [1] <a href="http://leshcatlabs.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=1">http://leshcatlabs.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=1</a> <a href="http://leshcatlabs.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=13">http://leshcatlabs.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=13</a> [2] <a href="http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/Leshcat/Leshcat-AMD-UnifL-Catalyst-Graphics-Driver-144-v24-64-bit.shtml">http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/Leshcat/Leshcat-AMD-UnifL-Catalyst-Graphics-Driver-144-v24-64-bit.shtml</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
