No graphics advanced W500, Win 7 RC

Hello

I installed Windows 7 but I can't ati V5700 at work, it disappears from the Device Manager after installation. At first I thought that I hit Setup twice and the screen went backwards, installation completed and restart windows but only Intel 4500 card was the graphics card in Device Manager.

I tried to upgrade my windows 7 dvd (I thought it is something like repair), it took the Device Manager showed ati 3650 card in years. After trying to install the screen go backwards for a while and then map dissapeard completely. After that, I tried one last time to do a clean reinstall of Windows 7. Unfortunately the same thing happen.

Anyone managed to install V5700 on ThinkPad W500 with Windows 7 RC? Of course, I'd love to know how.

Note to Moderator:  Fixed formatting issue.

Hello, Lukas:

I did a clean install of W7 on my W500 (4062-27U) and the graph feature worked fine "right out of the box.  I don't have to install a driver, a fully satisfactory driver is present on the W7 installation disc.

Here's how I did things:

(1) prior to installing W7 RC (build 7100), I went into the BIOS and turned off switchable graphics.  In other words, I told the computer to use discrete graphics - which means, high-performance graphics - all the time and completely ignore the presence of the built-in chart functionality.

(2) I then made the new installation of W7.  When the operating system has been installed, it is the discreet graphics card and installed a driver.

(3) then, I resisted the urge to hang out with the OS installed driver.  In other words, I tried not to install any graphic driver Lenovo or ATI.

When I ran a system performance test, I noticed that the partition 'graphic design' was quite high (6.1), but the score 'games and graphics management' was a little smaller than what I had with Vista SP 2 (4.9 on W7 against 5.4 on Vista SP 2).  However, after using the computer for a few days - including use for DVD playback and for intensive graphics work such that SolidWorks and AutoCAD - I couldn't notice a difference between the graphics performance of the Microsoft-provided driver that came with W7 and the supplied driver Lenovo I had with Vista SP2.  In other words, the computer works fine, it's fast enough.

I'm sure that eventually, Lenovo or ATI will come out a video driver designed for W7.  But for now, I'm pretty happy with how things are running.  I found W7 would be very fast and without problems.

  • Pavilion dv7 4060us: dv7 4060us graphics driver under Win 10

    I may be beating a dead here horse I did a bit of research on this issue, but I thought I would try once more on the HP forums.

    I have a good Pavilion dv7 4060us I use to transport my QuickBooks files and inventory with me at the customer site, or when I'm away from the office. I bought it in 2010-2011 because of its performance and price point. The fact that it is a mobile entertainment isn't really the problem. By that I mean I played a DVD or two on it, but that is not its primary mission.

    Having said all that, I, as a Microsoft Insider (aren't we all?) I tried Win 10 since last October. I have five other computers in my company to update to Win 10 very well. Desktop computers.

    But, and I knew better, I leave my dv7 update win 10 home (Win 7 Home) update the graphics drivers under Win 10 HP, even tho ' the review date seems to be August 5 (or 8) 2015, seems to not work. The laptop uses generic LCD drivers from Microsoft. Not the end of the world, but I wonder if anyone has found a way to resolve this display problem. I see that wil HP does not support for this combination hybrid AMD card (5650/4250 HD). I used the Compatibility Mode in the past with some success. In any case, this post was long enough... I can roll it back to Win 7 Home, but I really don't like the appearance of this computer entertainment.

    Any thoughts, or should I just shut up and go away?

    Thank you, DD

    I appreciate your concern for my situation, thank you. I did all of this, including finding a compatible driver supposedly this material on the website of AMD. When I looked at AMD site this month / last month, they said that they will not only support the material under Win 10 (said the same HP, actually, but I'm stubborn). Imagine my surprise when I found that the site would allow me to download a driver today for the HD 5650/4200 under Win 10 64-bit. But it doesn't install properly, be and gives me the same dialog box: No. AMC graphics driver is currently installed or it is not working properly.

    Maybe I'm not fluent in the AMD/ATI products and update I'm with nVidia graphics, I use in my other machines without any problem.

    In any case, I thank everybody help, but I spent too much time on this question; I'm done. I can use the 4060 as it is. Former systems engineer, I felt sure I could fix it but apparently not. In any case, no worries and thank you!

    Kind regards

  • R400/T400/T500/W500: Switchable graphics issues with Win 7

    Based on the experiences of the wire on switchable Vista graphics driver issues, I here starts a new switchable graphics related to Windows 7 (any SKU) records. Please keep the Center wire and clean up your language. IE: problems related to the XP or Vista are not the subject here.

    I made the switch to Win 7 64 and so far, it is an improvement in the "switchable graphics" - zone. But I have seen some issues:

    • Energy consumption is much higher than under Vista 32. It seems related to a problem in the management of the switching power of graphics adapters: see the thread by roteiro.
    • On my external display of Dell, I sometimes watch "pixel noise". In certain areas of the screen pixels flickering in different colors.
    • Could be related: hang after the release of the standby mode

    What graphics card was installed in this oldie?

    I don t think that Toshiba provides Win ME drivers for this device, and so you should Google in the internet for the graphics driver.

  • Install an SSD in an Inspiron 3650 I7 6700 16 GB Ram 2 TB hard drive Amd R9 380 graphic and running Win 7 Pro 64-bit

    Hello:

    I have the above referenced PC and want to add an SSD (boot with OS drive).  I would like to make this my c: drive ssd.  I want to keep the Windows 7 operating system.  I made the disarmament recovery disks I opened the PC.  I don't want to win 10.

    Could someone with their infinite knowledge teach me throughout the procedure with pictures if possible?  What parts do need me if any?

    Thanks in advance

    Tom

    I thought I was doing a 512 GB SSD.  The system came with Win 10 Pro 64 bit installation floppies, but I'm used to and prefer to use Win 7.  The idea of cloning seems interesting.  In fact, it looks to the ticket.  What cloning software is recommended.  The priority of the boot in the BIOS change after cloning?  I am concerned with what type of SSD should I purchase (interface, transfer rate, etc.), what cables, if any, and which adapters will be necessary?

    At work, I have all my computers run with SSD (OS/startup) and they run like rockets.  This new computer runs great, but with a SSD for the start, program files, "scratch disks", I'll be in the drive hyper.  I'd be in Mary for a bargain price.

    Yet once again, thank you very much for you answer quickly.  I have several Dell optiplex computers in office and did not have a problem.

    Thank you once again to Osprey

  • Screen collapsed when to enable Intel GM45 with Switchable Graphics in W500 (beyond 4 GB of installed RAM)

    I installed ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit and 32-bit) to my W500 ThinkPad running Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (x 64).

    When I activate Intel GM45 (Energy Saving Graphics), collapsed screen was displayed.

    Example: http://www.o-rz.net/public/win7_intel_gm45_screen_collapse.png

    This problem occurs only 6 GB RAM (2 GB + 4 GB) installed. 4 GB (2 GB + 2 GB) is normal.

    I don't have two Modules of 4 GB of memory so I can't test it installed 8 GB system

    This is a bug in the driver. If you have non matching memory size, then this will be the case. Must stick with ATi graphics card, up to what the pilot official windows 7 came out.

  • Old laptop - Pro 490 - need help with the graphics driver for Win 98

    I downloaded the display drivers, but these seem to be the same ones that Windows 98 is installed but the screen is not 'full' but just a window in the middle of the screen.

    I have also 1 device that does not have a pilot.

    Is someone can you please tell me where I can get a set of drivers for the laptop? Win98SE drivers seem to be a little short on the toshiba web site (unless I'm blind)

    Otherwise I'll have to use the recovery CD to install windows 95 and then upgrade to windows 98... do not look forward to that.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Hello

    In my view, the drivers for Win98 and Win 98SE are the same.
    But this unit is very old and Toshiba doesn't conceive these drivers more.
    I suggest to look on the sites of manufacturers of equipment. Maybe you'll find some drivers for Win98

    Hi friends,

    Lenovo T540p, I had and I installed windows 7 64-bit OS, all the drivers were installed successfully except graphics drivers.

    When I am trying to execute its configuration, its saying that "' he does'nt minimum required" "

    I downloaded the drivers from the following link

    http://download.Lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/PC/pccbbs/mobiles/gid640ww.exe

    T540p

    8 GB RAM

    The T540p should have a NVIDIA graphics card. Driver Intel side should come with NVIDIA Optimus driver package.

    You can always force this set of drivers to be installed on the Intel graphics card using the disk and directing on the record that it extracted.
