    Can't install my Mobility Radeon HD 5470

    I have this video card as well, and driver issues with it. After many issues, I disabled the Intel HD Graphics and I'm making due with just my HD 5470. The problem is I need to run some software which requires OpenGL, and it won't work. My graphic driver version is 8.97.10.6, which I understand...

    Windows Update always fails a few updates for no reason

    Hello I'm using Windows 8 x64. I have Windows Update disabled for automatic updates, so it only updates when I manually check for them (in case that matters). It finds the updates, installs them and asks me to restart. Usually, it says underneath "Updates were installed: [date] (Failed)". When...

    Enable Custom Themes: Patch uxtheme.dll using UltraUXThemePatcher

    Thank you. I had already uninstalled UltraUXThemepatcher and had done a regular system restore before, but still noticed a slow boot. Because of this, I was guessing that the slow was due to using unsigned themes (now with UX Styles) and not corrupted files. I couldn't replace System32 files, so...

    Enable Custom Themes: Patch uxtheme.dll using UltraUXThemePatcher

    If someone could take 5 minutes to upload those 3 unpatched files, I'd be really grateful.

    Enable Custom Themes: Patch uxtheme.dll using UltraUXThemePatcher

    And now I have the post-Windows Update flash screen. That's not the worst part, it is that my boot time is definitely longer. I really want to fix this, but I wasn't smart enough to think to backup the .dll files. I realize this is my fault, but if someone could help me I'd be much appreciated...

    Enable Custom Themes: Patch uxtheme.dll using UltraUXThemePatcher

    I used Ultra UX Theme Patcher yesterday to install an unsigned theme. Everything works great, but now I read this about flashing black screens after you use Windows Update. I have WU disabled so I can choose when to update myself. I'm thinking of undoing the patching and using UX Styles, I just...

    Trying to find something similar to CPU meter

    Rainmeter all the way. I had the CPU and Network meters on 7, when I migrated it was confusing to not have that. So I got those 3rd party apps that kind of work, until they didn't. I got fed up and searched around. I now use Rainmeter's sidebar with the Enigma skin, I highly recommend it.

    Task Manager very slow to open the first time

    Hello fellow users. I've been loving the new Task Manager, it's better in every aspect except the time it takes to use. 1 minute is not acceptable for anything that isn't Skyrim, it takes so long that at first I assumed I hadn't pressed the keys correctly. However it's much faster to open the...

    Everything worked! I did as you said, first I cleaned my computer of all things graphic driver, then I installed the Intel x64 driver from Acer's websitem rebooted, installed the latest AMD driver again from Acer in Win 7 compatibility mode, rebooted and now I have switchable graphics, Catalyst...

    Solved Can't install graphic drivers on Acer Aspire 3820TGG

    I tried installing the correct Leshcat drivers (Enduro) and turned my graphics on switchable and it made both my GPUs get that little yellow triangle in Device Manager. I couldn't change my screen resolution. At that moment I started hating Leshcat. The Intel drivers installed great (the 2...

    Solved Can't install graphic drivers on Acer Aspire 3820TGG

    Thanks for your answer, but I'm afraid I've made it more complicated. I had a moment of frustration where I downloaded the Leshcat drivers and installed them. This made my screen go black. A few hard reboots and still I get to the Windows 8 loading screen and then the screen stops working...

    Solved Can't install graphic drivers on Acer Aspire 3820TGG

    I'm wondering: can I even use my card regardless of the drivers? Right now, as you can see in my second screenshot, it's not in use. I don't know if the problem is with installing drivers or with the card itself.

    Solved Can't install graphic drivers on Acer Aspire 3820TGG

    Same thing. I love how the AMD install manager installs de AMD install manager. The ATI folder is empty, the only thing installed is the install manager itself.

    Solved Can't install graphic drivers on Acer Aspire 3820TGG

    Solution Install the latest official graphic drivers, in my case I went with Intel first and AMD second. Use compatibility mode if something doesn't work normally. Make sure you have deleted every driver before you install new ones. Reboot after every installation. First of all I know there...
