Yup, worked for me too. Not 100%, but it's definitly using the AMD card now.
Come on HP, how about updating your drivers!
Come to think of it, this is a common problem for laptops. Every vendor seems to have made mods so that you can't use the generic AMD/Nvida drivers and then when the laptops' about 1 year old, they stop updating the drivers... Such a pain.
Plus, I went through the same problem with my old laptop (Dell D800 with Nvidia GeForce 4200M) a screamer, in it's day, on WinXP, but no GFX drivers for Vista/Win7 😞

I've the same problem with my 6160se (amd 6770m and intel hd 3000). I downloaded the latest intel hd driver and installed it and worked properly. But as I install the 6770m driver, the screen flashes and goes to login (switch user) screen and never gets back to the desktop although I click on my user account for logging in. ( As I click on my user account, it begins loading and tries to login, but it cannot and then it gets back to the green screen with a building!!!)

I have the same notebook as you except mine is equipped with a ATI 5470 graphics card.....My notebook was using the 5000 series drivers so I went into device manager & switched the drivers over to the 5470 & the 2nd display worked perfectly. (Also using windows 😎

Go to device manager click on display adapter click on the driver your system is using a box should come up with the driver info click on driver tab then click update driver....another box should come up with a few options to look for the driver I picked the one that said look for drivers on this computer. If you have a video card installed it should find it. Hope this helps.

Aha.. The procedure you're pointing to is one of the ways of installing the driver and everybody knows it I think.
I thought you can SWITCH to your card from there
I want to install the Catalyst and adjust it to reach to my favorite graphics quality and performance. Installation of the driver is not enough. In fact, driver without catalyst is something like {Content Removed}

Thanks for the suggestions, but the issue is that it won't install drivers for the ATI card at all. There is an error in the device manager:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
I've tried all combinations of drivers including Leshcats, without any success at all. I think we need at least a workaround from HP support for us Windows 8 users.
