This is the page i'm at. I tried right clicking on the drivers but there was nothing. If I press next, it will proceed to install the old drivers.
*

Do this if you want to remove those old drivers from Windows...

  1. Uninstall the AMD driver from Control Panel like normal, remove everything.
  2. Reboot and enter Safemode.
  3. In safemode, open command prompt.
  4. Type "pnputil -e". It will show a list of windows cached drivers.
  5. Search for all entries with Class: Display Adapters and Driver Package Provider: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc like image below.

  6. Open another command prompt window and type "pnputil -d <insert published name of the entry>. If it say it still in use, force it with -f syntax. (pnputil -f -d)
    Example: "pnputil -d oem0.inf" or "pnputil -f -d oem0.inf" to force it.
  7. Repeat step 6 until there is no more AMD display driver left. Close command prompt.
  8. Start DriverSweeper and clean AMD display driver again. Reboot.
  9. Install latest AMD Display Driver from HP and AMD driver of your choice, u know the drill.


Ps: If somehow u can't enter window after step 8, press F8 after post and select "Enable VGA Mode"

Ps2: Ultimately, you can just use ""pnputil -d <insert the driver u want to remove>" in command prompt without -f syntax. It will remove the driver if its not in use/old. No need to reboot/safemode.

Guys, I've bought hp dv 6 and I'm wondering that why my window cannot run the system rating and its empty. it says your window expericence index has not established yet. ><

What u mean its empty? Can u click "Refresh Now" button?

Hey there, I've been scouting around for a notebook and I really like the looks of the DV6.

I've read up a bit on the whole muxless OpenGL switching issue, though. Has it been fixed yet?
*

Yes, you need to use fixed switching in BIOS and manually switch the GPU in Window. Only for 6100/6b00/6c00 series.

Thanks for the response.

Does this mean it would behave just like the mux-based 60xx series?

Also, this may be a rather stupid question, but how do I know which graphics accelerator it's running on when dynamic switching is enabled?

Great!! Thanks acid!!Is it possible to just clean the old drivers so that I don't have to reinstall the newest driver? Maybe you should pin this in the first page. I think it's useful.smile.gif

Yes it is.

I don't know either. I don't think there is any indicator to show which GPU is running.

Acid,my butter fingers deleted one of the wrong drivers (non-display adaptor driver) during safe mode. Win7 will connect to internet to reinstall the driver should I need it in the future right?

What driver? blink.gif
If u delete it without -f mean that driver is not needed. You can do it with any driver actually.. not just display driver.

Can't recall which driver but it's not display driver and i think it's with f command. But these drivers are either built into win7 or installed myself right? So if it's built in win7,then should be able to get through online if I need it next time(using search online option during installation of driver)?

I get no crash with DNA 11.8.3-prev. Tried that already? I'm currently using v8.93 but it crashes sometimes, notably when playing flash video.(Youtube) But good performance though..
