3421 Dell showing the intel hd 4000 instead of 625 m nvidia in the index of windows

Hello

my laptop dell 3421 with 625 m NVIDIA 1 GB inbuild but graph showing only intel hd 4000 in index page of windows.

I installed the drivers updated intel as well as for nvidia.

My nvidia Control Panel have only 3d configuration to set.

Please help me configure my graphics card.

Windows will always see the Intel GPU as primary, as it is the only one who has a link with the display panel.  The nVidia GPU is simply a coprocessor - all going on video by the GPU from Intel data, even if it is handled by the nVidia kernel.  This is normal.

You select the GPU on a per-application basis by using the control panel of Optimus (you should see it inside your Windows Control Panel).

  • Dimension of del and the upgrade of WIndows

    I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with 2 GB of RAM and a 100 GB hard drive.   I formatted the hard drive, installed a new operating system of Windows XP Professional (original disk Dell) and found the necessary drivers on the web to get everything to work - who themselves were there no questions driver in Device Manager. I checked the computer using the Windows 7 compatabiliy program and apart from a game port problem, he seemed to agree to proceed with the installation of Windows 7 (but not upgraded). Then I tried to install Windows 7 on a genuine Microsoft WIndows 7 upgrade disc and received the failure message:

    "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. »

    Acting on the advice of a non Dell forum (which cannot be correct), I tried to install Windows 7 via an initial upgrade to Vista Home Premium (a Dell disc), but got the same message of failure during the process.

    This is why it seems to be just a problem of Windows 7 with the computer. Why we can install Windows XP and not Windows Vista or Windows 7 is a mystery to me. The computer is out of warranty and so there is no way I can get direct advice from Dell.

    There, can anyone help?

    There is no integrated on the motherboard graphics and a graphics card is essential.  However, the good news is that I finally worked on a solution to the problem.  I said earlier that Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor has said that my game card was not supported and I intend to replace it later (after the installation of WIndows 7).  This time I removed the card completely and WIndows 7 installed without a hitch.  If I had done it earlier I would have saved myself a lot of time and costs of a new dvd player.

    Thanks anyway for your help.

  • How can I exclude specific folders of the indexing of Windows Media Player stream?

    Windows Media Player 12 has removed the possibility of excluding some files being indexed.  This feature was available in Windows Media Player 11.  I need to be able to exclude some records indexed because I have collections of photos that are too big for the WMP player to manage.

    Excluding these folders in the library WMP is not an option because MediaCenter uses the settings of the library to determine where to find pictures (even if it does not use the library to view photos or videos - just the WMP settings) so if they are not included in the library WMP, I can't see them in MediaCenter, but if they are in the WMP library he freezes everything for 30 minutes whenever I turn on an Extender that forces a re-analysis of the WMP library.

    I tried to edit wmpfolders.wmdb to exclude certain files, but the changes that I last only for a few hours to a day or two.

    any ideas?

    Thank you
    Dan

    Hi Khaled, thank you very much for your answer.  My question was related to the media library in Windows Media Player, but your response was to Windows 7 libraries.  Unfortunately, your answer does not apply to my question.

    What I need to be able to do, is to exclude a folder from indexing of Windows Media Player streams although it is included in the list of folders to the index.  It's because the Media Center uses the settings of the library Windows Media Player to determine where to find pictures.  However, it does not use the Windows Media Library to view the photos.  It is, therefore, no need to have Windows Media Player, indexing of thousands of photos when Media Center does not even use the library to display.

    The problem is that when I let Windows Media Player scan my pics, it causes all to slow down for 30 minutes or more each time I light a MediaCenter extender because it is re-scanner all my photos.  However, if I let Windows Media Player not scan my photos, so they are not visible in the MediaCenter.  There is a catch 22.

  • Add the UNC path to search the index in Windows 7

    I have a desktop running Windows 7 (commercial version).  I want to add some UNC paths in the search to allow Windows to search index to locate files on mapped network drives.

    My network mapped drives from Windows Home Server that is running Windows Search 4.0.

    I am running Windows Search 4.0 on a (separate) computer at work and I saw a tab in Indexing Options to allow the addition of UNC paths.  Unfortunately, it seems that the search built into Windows 7 version does not UNC paths to be added.

    I saw solutions to this problem that involve UNC paths mapping local drives with the help of a symbolic link, but I don't want to do that.  Readers are already mapped and work just fine.  There must be a way to update the research on Windows 7 or otherwise activate adding of UNC paths?  It doesn't seem to be a downloadable installer for Windows Search 4.0 for Windows 7.

    Note: I just saw the Windows Desktop Search add-in for Microsoft Networks (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f7e981d9-5a3b-4872-a07e-220761e27283&displaylang=en) files.  I will install that, but shouldn't it already be part of the search Windows on Windows 7?  Why do I need a complement of 2008 to allow something on a whole new operating system which is already present in versions of research working on older operating systems (XP, 2003 Server)?

    I noticed several answers to select 'Always available offline' which copies the files to the local hard disk.  It is an unacceptable answer as my business system cannot be copied onto my hard drive.

    Microsoft used to have the ability to add a network drive to the list of search/index.  It is a huge hole missing in the search for Windows 7.  I'll have to look at Google search of as an alternative if it manages the network drives.

    Hi ManasYL,

    I see that you want to use motorola H350 to make voip calls. I will help you with that.

    2. what security software is installed on the computer?

    3. do you have a wired network connection or a wireless connection?

    No matter what Internet calling equipment you choose, you will need to sign up with an Internet calling service provider. Before selecting a service on the Internet component, find out what software and what appeal material they need. Many service providers will sell you everything you need, including phones or headsets look and a certain type of phone adapter or base station that connects to your router or your computer. Ask your provider about compatibility before you buy any equipment Internet call. Equipment of a provider of services may not work with another calling service.

  • How to exclude folders while they are not the index by Windows Media Player 12, but are available in Media Center?

    Just upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and am having a problem with Windows Media Player 12 and its indexing.  In WMP11, you could put all your pictures in your "My pictures" folder (so they appear in the Media Center) but then exclude it from indexing in WMP11, then it would not bog you try to index all things.

    This option has been removed in WMP12.  If you want images to appear in the Media Center, they must be included in your WMP12 library. (Even if Media Center does not use the WMP library to ALL display pictures - she designs per file)

    Because I have thousands of photos and videos, this is a major problem at any time an Extender is turned on, because for some reason when you start an Extender it forces a new scan of all your media.  It is in turn completely failed the system leaving the main centre of the media both all completely unnecessary extensions while CPU hits 100%.

  • Conditions of the retail of Windows XP Professional and license and decal OEM COA / label question:

    Hello everyone and especially lawyers license!

    It's pretty obvious (applying common sense) that a single license is a single Installation, no matter if Windows XP, Vista or 7, or OEM or retail.

    However...

    Question 1:
    Is that the only true, firmer and more correct to do statement?
    ""Windows XP Professional OEM license dies with your computer / caisse".

    Question 2:
    I have two DELL computers. One is with Windows XP Professional OEM (Dell) and the other with Windows Vista Business OEM (Dell). I would like to swap/Exchange two licenses COA stickers (if it's physically possible) and simply change the Microsoft Windows operating system on these two computers. From what I understand at this time - and please correct me if I'm wrong - Microsoft Licensing policy said it is legally impossible. True? Fake?

    Question 3:
    This question is about the "decommissioning" of Windows Vista business to Windows XP Professional. I'm OK with my understanding that there are some licenses of Windows Vista Business out there that can be legally retired, and some who cannot?
    How do I determine by looking at just the Windows Vista Business OEM COA sticker, if it is a license that can legally be downgraded or not?
    If it can be downgraded, can I license Windows Vista Business COST just the installation of Windows XP Professional key, when asked to enter?

    Thank YOU ALL for your expertise and your help!

    Hello

    Question 1: "Windows XP Professional OEM license dies with your computer / caisse"-c' is licensed OEM is NOT transferable to another machine and once your dies of PC/LAptop, then the license dies with him.

    Question 2: You cannot exchange an OEM license of any computer to another. This includes exchanging the COA from one device to another, making of this ould invalidate your license, as the certificate of authenticity shall be kept with the license provided with the original machine.

    Question 3: Downgrade rights allow you to get off at analogues for the same edition of vista, IE company from Vista to XP Pro, you cannot downgrade from Vista to XP Pro home.

    hope that answers all your questions.

  • Failure recovery Windows vista CTOERROR.flg and after that error the error 0 x 643 during the installation of windows update

    Hi all

    system information: HP DV6 LAPTOP, windows vista sp1

    When I try to install windows vista sp1 disks/recovery partition that I get the error recovery manager prompting me to choose either to see the details of the failure or restart: CTOERROR.flg as a Notepad on my desk. I did try 100 times but nothing helped. I can't restart after this recovery failure message because it shows the dialog box when restarting: windows security update is not properly installed or is not approved. So, I have to go through the process of recovery again to see the desktop (any operation - music video, internet, all), but only once.

    The last time I got this message too. When I did the windows installation of recovery a few months back discs, this time I figured out to install all updates IMP to automatic update via update of windows. All updates have been installed successfully, then it restarted and gone through the process of language settings, time settings and everything...

    But this time when I'm trying to update windows, I get windows update, error 0 x 643 which is updating security for .net Framework 3.5 sp1 and update family. I don't know the answer how to exit with this error "windows help" and also this forum too, which asks for the installation of the updates of the .net framework from the windows update site directly. But the problem is:

    Updated Windows ask me to restart windows automatic or manual update installation takes place and restart causes problem because it shows the dialog box - windows security update is not installed successfully. I need to install all updates at once like last time of my understanding. :

    1. so, if I install the update to windows (to try my luck as last time) it says error 0 x 643 for .net framework and you ask to reboot, and after that when I try to manually install failed 0 x 643 updated it asks me to restart windows for pending updates.

    2. in the alternative, if I try to install the update failed everything first just after the failure of the recovery it doesn't allow me to install important updates for vista sp1 and asked to restart windows.

    All I need is to update all updates via windows automatic update that is not happening at the moment.

    Not even be able to upgrade to sp2 bcz it also restarts for installation.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi harry973,

    Download Service Pack 1 will not convert in a disc in Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

    A recovery disk will not be useful to perform an Inplace upgrade to.
    You will need the original Windows Installation disc.
    If the disc that came with the computer, then it would be a drive OEM (manufacturer). This disk can only be used for a reinstallation of Windows.


    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot set the search index location Windows 7

    After you perform a partition merge, I discovered that I can't set the Windows 7 search index location.

    What seems to happen is that the "disappearance" of the partition where the search index had been stored caused Windows to 'lose' the location of the index. What I mean is that the dialog box that usually shows the index location and where it would normally go on the definition of a new location, is empty.
    The option "select new" is grayed out, and it is not possible to start the indexing service - probably because there is no index. Following the steps of troubling shooting is no help either (because he fails to step to start the indexing service).
    Any ideas? I hope that someone will know what registry entry, I can set up or change. I watch but couldn't find anything that seemed relevant and did not want to change whatever it is based on the work of the conjecture.
