[QUOTE="alphastar, post: 202858, member: 4946"] @giorgoxxi, You may be right about the BIOS changes; SP60115 does have a file (SP60115\WSSP60115.txt) that states: For SP59850 and below, the Intel driver is located at ..\SP59850\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF\Intel\ My apologies for not being more alert: [B]This means that you [I]cannot[/I] install SP60115 by itself for Switchable Graphics - it should only be used to upgrade the pure HP AMD driver from SP59850. (Also, if you're installing the latest AMD Catalyst Beta after, don't bother with SP60115).[/B] For HP ENVY 17-3002ea owners, may well be that the default option in the BIOS now is to somehow disable the Intel iGPU component...(subject to confirmation). Are you willing to verify this for us? Some [URL="http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/"]TechPowerUp GPU-Z screenshots[/URL] will do nicely... @BFG, Leshcat may be worth a shot if none of the previous solutions work for you (remember: it is 3rd-party, community-supported). Either way, you should try doing a full removal of all existing drivers (Intel + AMD) until you are back to the Windows Update WDM 1.1/1.2 drivers (Leshcat [URL="http://leshcatlabs.net/manual/cleanup_instuctions.htm"]requires this[/URL] prior to installing his drivers as well). Then you can try or retry some of the options as necessary. Let us know how it works out. Again, [B]the latest AMD-signed Intel drivers[/B] from HP for the majority of HP Switchable Graphics notebooks (there are some exceptions) [B]are contained in [I]SP59850[/I][/B](AFAIK). [/QUOTE]
