I also tried these drivers in compatibility mode but I get an error message during the installation. It is possible that my graphics card is defective?

what does the message say ?

In italian is: "Installazione applicazione: errore di installazione dei pacchetti!" and I believe that it can be translated as: "Application install: error installing packages!"

somehow I understood the italian 😄
anyways, well, as you may have suggested, something is wrong with the packages of your cards, a thing I've learnt from Leshcat while trying his drivers, was that we must delete the .inf of the graphic packages we had to be able to use his drivers. if you have tried leshcat's then you must have deleted them.

I wish I can remember the steps, and sadly I tried to view my leshcat's ticket yet it's closed

all I know it's through the command prompt, but I can't remember how, sorry

what a useless reply 😄 really sorry

Windows 8 Pro

I tried in normal way, but it didn't work.
After I tried with Leshacat, it worked for a period. The switching between the two cards was working and I didn't care to have the "test modality mode" on the desktop. But now, I don't know why, it doesn't work anymore.

I removed all the old drivers and I donwloaded the upgrade for my pc (sp59850). I installed it and it didn't install ANYTHING.
I had catelyst in the list of program, but there was no shortcut on my desktop or in the right click menu.

So, I installed the Intel driver from Intel web site, I installed again the sp59850 but nothing changed.
I disinstalled the sp5950 stuff and I installed the one from the AMD (12.7 update) and the card are ok but I don't have the swiching mode.

What can I do?

If i put "swiching-fixed", it will use alwasy AMD but in battery mode it will use intel one, right?

I swear that I'm not going to buy an HP product even a CD.

have you tried a fresh installation ? even better, have you tried re-installing windows 8 ? a fresh start

That's what I have done after trying leshcat's drivers, as while installing leshcat's you must do so much in order to have his drivers installed properly.

I have the same graphic card and the same problems... Where can I download these AMD drivers?

[I-h4te-HP]

I did the w8 refresh (I lost all my programs ._.) and now w8 has installed his own driver for both cards.
I installed the sp59850 and nothing has changed. The driver are always the w8 one and catalyst doesn't run.
I'm gona cry ;(

I'm really thinking to start a new sport: "how far can fly the HP notobook from my window"

do I have install first the Intel graphigs and AMD program and after install sp59650?
I don't care anymore about the swiching, I want only that the AMD card works when I play fifa13...


@stateless: it was a fake, when I restarded the pc the pc didn't have any driver to install...
