HP Pavilion dv6-6150us Adobe Premiere Pro Issue

[John82]

I have recently installed Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 ony my dv6 (Radeon HD 6490M Graphic) , apparently the software is not recognizing the AMD graphics when opening (although i specified the high performance option for Premiere Pro in the "switchable graphics" option).

When starting the software (Premiere Pro CS6)  an error message appear : "Adobe premiere pro could not find any capable video play modules.Please update your video  display drivers and start again"

Please help me find a resolution for this issue.

After searching for two days I have found a solution that worked for me. This registry fix was found on a Gaming web site where thier games did not recognise the AMD Radeon chip, even after setting it to High Performance mode with Catalyst.

I can not post the registry installer, but what follows is the text, and sefer you you to mauually amend your registry, then you know exactly what is being changed, and can revers it if it goes awry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"OpenGLVendorName"=hex(7):61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,36,00,61,00,78,00,78,00,2e,\
  00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00,61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,36,00,61,00,78,00,78,00,\
  2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00,00,00

Just set up the regisrtry key and then after a restart, set Premier and any other CS6 programs that will not display to High Performance with Catalyst.

Enjoy and pass on to others who are having switched graphics problems.

Thank you, but with the help of HP pro here in the forum, i have found that if you change the Graphic Card option from the Bios from "Dynamic" to "Fixed" and then in windows, change to High Performance GPU, the issue will be resolved.

Cheers....
