  • The XMP files have disappeard from some files in my library (I use LR CC 2015). How can I get back them?

    Hello.

    I just noticed that xmp files, I mean by there any changes I made on the LR image, have disappeared from some files in my library.

    Is it possible to find them?

    Sorry for my English, I'm french.

    Best.

    Eric

    Paige,

    The OP said that all the changes he made in LR disappeared. The lack of XMP data maintenance is a red herring, probably caused by the thought that this is where LR stores the changes, without realizing that the changes are stored in the catalog.

  • I have upgraded to Windows 8. How can I get the switchable graphics to work?

    Windows 8 was released a little over a month and several users have had the desire to upgrade their laptop for Windows 8.

    However, the laptop doesn't have any Windows 8 at HP software, because it is not yet approved for Windows 8.

    This usually results in video cards being turned on so only used Intel graphics card.  Some symptoms of this is the laptop is running more hot than usual and the battery life is significantly short due to these two cards being fed at the same time.

    This isn't an official solution to this problem, but it worked for me and others.

    1. install the HP software framework found here.

    Credit for finding this link goes to CherylG.

    2. then, uninstall all ATI/AMD software through programs and features.

    3. go to www.hp.com and select Support and drivers at the top.

    4. Select software downloads and the pilot, then enter your product model or product number.

    5. Select the most recent operating system corresponding to your installation of Windows 8 bit architecture.  For example, Windows 7 64 bit for 64-bit Windows 8.

    6 download the ATI graphics card driver.

    7. run the file once it is finished downloading.

    8. let the finished extraction process, but cancel the installation when you are prompted to continue after extraction.  Note where this is extracted to.  By default, this should be c:\swsetup\.

    9. here, there should be a setup.exe to install the ATI driver.  Right-click it and select troubleshoot compatibility.

    10 follow the troulbeshooter of compatibility and select the suggested fixes.  On one screen, there will be a button of test program.  Click here to begin the installation.

    11. follow the installation and it must successfully complete.

    12. Once completed, right click on the desktop to check that configures it with the switchable graphics option is listed.

    Once this done, switchable graphics should work fine on most systems.  This translates into reduced heat and charge the battery lasting longer.

    While this may not work for everyone, he worked for many users.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite P305-S8822 - withdrawal of the dedicated graphics card

    Dear members of the forum,

    probably due to a fault of the graphics card dedicated to my

    Toshiba Satellite P305-S8822 (PSPC4U - 02T 014)
    Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T 5550
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card
    3072 MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM
    200 GB Serial ATA hard drive

    I'm not able to install Windows 7 or an another Version of Windows. Because I don't have the dedicated graphics card (only the onboard integrated graphics card) and found no BIOS option to turn it off, I would like to remove it from the motherboard. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out whether or not the ATI graphics card is welded (which this would make very difficult). Thanks a lot for your answers and a better idea to solve the problem.

    To be honest, it won't be easy to solve your problem. Why?
    Many people who have mobile machines the same logic valid for desktop computers. Exchange upgrade or hardware components on mobile units is very limited and you can simply swap the GPU or change the BIOS settings.

    If the GPU is faulty in many cases entire motherboard must be replaced. I don't know what other people will write here, but what you can do is contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or advice what can be done about it.

  • Problem with the latest graphics drivers Intel 82830 M graphics Satellite 1100

    I have a 1100 Satellite with the Intel 82830 M graphics card. The latest driver is version 14.7 which I just installed - icon of graph in the right lower corner of a multicolored square changes a blue screen when you install this, and the mouseover text says "Intel(r) Extreme Graphics.

    However, since installing it, my screen freezes everytime I start a game, or if I go into display properties & change anything. A hard reboot is required. Also, the startup process takes 2 - 3 times as long since this upgrade.

    Everyone knows about this problem? Does anyone know of a solution? I've seen a few posts on other forums about this, including some say that this problem came from XP Service Pack 2. Can anyone confirm this?

    Hello

    I assume that you have installed the driver for graphics card on the Intel site and you do NOT use a graphic driver Toshiba, which has been designed especially for the use of the laptop.
    Well, Toshiba recommend that you use the drivers from Toshiba. In this case, you should try to use the recommended graphic driver that you can download from the Toshiba driver page.

  • Qosmio X 875-installation of the Win7 graphics driver

    I recently bought a TOSHIBA Qosmio X 875 - Q7380 with Windows 8. I went down to Windows 7 64 bit OS.
    Everything is fine except for the graphics drivers. When I try to install the driver NVIDIA (GeForce GTX 670 M) it says that I need to install the Intel driver first.

    So I find and attempt to install the Intel graphics driver and it says that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements for this software.
    What Miss me?

    How did the laptop changes between the use of the cards? I can't find anything in the Bios. I'm not able to install the graphics card intel because it is disabled for the NVIDIA card?

    How can I get the graphics driver intel installed so I can install the NVIDIA driver?

    Have you tried the Intel® HD Graphics 4000 driver?
    This is the driver that should work:
    http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng & changeLang = true & dId = 22376 DWNL

    The zipped package.
    You must decompress this first. Then you might want to update the driver through Device Manager by pointing to the folder of the driver that you have unpacked above.

    and there is no possibility to switch between graphics cards.

  • Satellite A300-RJ1 - cannot install the new graphics driver from Intel page

    Hello.

    Another problem.
    When I use the "integrated" Vista, I can not install the new graphics driver (intel inside).
    Whenever the error message: the driver is not validated by your system, please contact your producer.

    So if I install a clean windows, so I can install the new graphics driver: S and I want to install because it is much more recently than the preinstalled :(

    Hi mate

    You can install this driver, but you need to use different installation procedure.
    You must install it in the Device Manager.

    Here, you can choose Advanced Setup, then choose don't search. I will choose the driver, then point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

    But note; I read here that the use of non-Toshiba drivers is always at your own risk

  • Satellite A350D-10Y - failure of the external graphics card?

    Hello guys,.

    I have a toshiba Satellite A350D-10Y and I get some sounds of the sound system of the laptop, but a kind of Mermaid on the mother, accompanied by lights driver dvd, map emitte acoustics is two short beeps. I'm getting these two short beeps loops within a period of 5 seconds +-.

    I downloaded a video for you, to listen to the sound emitted by the MB, in the end you can hear better because you get less noise from the cpu fan:

    Feature of the motherboard: ATI external graphics card

    Things I've done:
    -Remove the battery and try to put on without it.
    -Switch of RAM on the slot a RAM
    -Clean cpu fan one its exhaust
    -Change is the motherboard on a new

    Now, the problem was taken up to, or is the processor or the external graphics card.

    I think that the problem of the graphics card, because if these was a problem of the processor, I'd get the audio system of the laptop beeps and not a buzzer next to the MB.

    Can anyone here help me?

    From my point of few it of not possible to say what s wrong with the laptop without running certain diagnostic tests and check the part.

    The often shorter and emits a beep when turning procedure appears due to the POST (power on self-test) failure.

    This essential POST routine determines the available memory real quantity and checks for the presence of required hardware components.
    In case one of the hardware components would be defective, the power on self test could not be transmitted correctly and the laptop would begin to create some beeps.

    If you are sure that the modules of memory so that the card mother isn't affected, then one of the pieces referred to as CPU / GPU can be the troublemaker.

    I have a laptop L40 and I have problems with the display driver. ?

    I use Win Xp SP3 I have all the latest drivers including Bios ver 5.5

    The machine works fantastic and I am very happy with it, except for some graphics programs the only not to include/display as it should.
    Is there a more basic graphics driver, I can try to see if it helps to solve my problem. If so, please give a link.

    Thanks for any help coming next.

    Phil_H

    Hello

    The latest graphics drivers are already published on the European driver Toshiba page.

    If you want, you can see some graphics drivers for Satellite L40 / Pro L40.

    These units are very similar to the Equium L40 and possibly there are other, more recent graphics driver version

    But generally all available drivers are already displayed on the page of Toshiba.

    Good bye

  • Need the latest graphic drivers for Satellite 1900 - 704

    Hi all.

    I just bought a Satellite 1900 704 from a friend who has updated. The problem I have right now is the graphics driver. I have the drivers and the computer works well. The computer is good enough to play related games like half-life 2 and World Of War craft. But when I run half-life 2, he told me that my graphic driver should be upgraded and it might not work properly.

    It still works, but when I play World of War craft the graphics are quite wrong and distorted and does not play. I downloaded the latest drivers from the Toshiba site but no luck. It's a GeForce 6800 Go. I tried the Nvidia site for drivers, but none are compatible.

    It would be great if someone hade any idea on what to do. Appreciate the help.

    / me

    Hi Robbin

    I had Satellite 1900 703 nearly two years and this unit is known to me. You're right about the performance of the laptop. The performance of the graphics are really good and I was also able to play several games but I had trouble with Far Cry. The graphics card was absolutely not powerful enough for him.

    I can tell you one: If you can play games more recent you will be lucky, but if you have some problems with graph there is not much to do. You must understand that this unit is old enough and you can't wait for graphics to force und fabulous graphics giving more than possible performance.

  • Satellite L50-B-23F - how to move to the AMD graphics card

  • How to disable the integrated graphics card? HP Pavilion a6400f

    I intend to install a new NVIDIA PCI-E x 16 video card, but my HP Pavilion a6400f comes with an Intel integrated graphics. I know that you need to disable the onboard graphics, but how? I checked the BIOS but couldn't find an option to turn it off. Any help?

    Message edited by soadfreak2005 on 01/16/2009 11:24

    You go to control panel, system maintenance, and then Device Manager. Scroll down and look for graphics cards, click the plus tab, click on the model of integrated graphics card you have. Then right click and a menu appears, select turn off and that's all. Then follow the instructions on your new graphics card. Good luck...

  • Pavilion p6 - 2020t: HP-Pavilion will identify the new graphics card

    Hello

    I got a HP Pavilion for a few years now and never updated my BIOS (not that I know well). I'm trying to install a new graphics (gtx 750ti) card and the computer does not recognize it. It shows the first screen, and then a black screen and a beep, then it crashes. Keyboard does not work, cannot get into the BIOS.

    I tried everythign with current BIOS, boot legacy and ensuring that the Integrated GPU is disabled, and nothing works. I also did research on food, and but it is not terrible, it should work with this graphics card (the fan even spinning).

    According to my research, the current BIOS is simply not recognize, and I need to update. My current version is: FRIEND 7.16, 05/10/2011

    I navagate through the HP website and it said that the automatic update should update the BIOS for Windows 10, and it won't let me download all drivers (although the last BIOS update was 2011). I tried to enter the FRIEND's site and download it from there and it won't even install their drivers, it says that flash is not supported (probably for Windows 10).

    If someone could give me an idea of how can I get a newer version of the BIOS for my motherboard, it would be much appreciated as I'm pretty sure that's the reason why the computer is not recognizing the new graphics card

    The risk is that the video card is one that is for a newer PC with an EFI BIOS. That's why the empty card is not recognized.

    If you use a card equipped with a switch on the virtual card allowing the use in legacy and uefi BIOS it will work with the BIOS of your PC.

    Sapphire makes video cards that have this capability. Take a look at the catalogue. What you need is a PCIE x 16 card video with switchable legacy\uefi BIOS or legacy support, but not only UEFI.

    http://www.sapphiretech.com/catapage_tech.asp?cataid=8 & lang = eng

    You cannot change the type of BIOS that your PC has in the UEFI.  It's a question of his being of a generation of diferent from the PC.
