Graphics Card Upgrade Available for HP Pavilion dv7 notebook?

[balloway]

Thanks Huffer.

I do need you help. I downloaded the exe and ran it. Do I update the driver to what was extracted?

[Huffer]

which .exe; the HP one or the AMD one? And you have to follow along and answer my questions. What does device manager show for display adapter? 

[balloway]

The HP exe, and the display adapter shown is the ATI Radeon HD 4650.

[Huffer]

And you cannot get the right resolution on the screen? 

[balloway]

I can get a better resolution now. I am still unable to use an external monitor. Am I just out of luck on that one?

I am tired of your know it all rudeness. So please stop comenting my post. I don´t need you and I have solved my problem with nothing you said.

[neco5]

Please delete my whole post. I don´t care for rudeness. thank you.

[Huffer]

Back at ya and it ain't about you now anyway there is another person in here. 

@balloway

what did you do to improve the resolution? 

[briandonovan]

In the device manager, find the Display adapter section, open it and right click on the line for the ATI Radeon.  Uninstall the existing driver.  When the dialog pops up, tell it to delete the existing driver.  Reboot.

You will get back some of your resolution, but not all.

On my dv7 laptop monitor, with a physical resolution of 1920x1280, I was able to get back to 1600x900, substantially more than what I had a few hours ago.
