Hello Computer Forums users,
I have a few question on my computer and what is wrong with it.
First off--specs:
Laptop: HP Pavillion Dm4
Processor: Core i5 2.4 ghz (turbo up to 2.9)
Graphics: ATI Radeon Mobility 5450 Switchable with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
RAM: 4 GB
Now on to the issues and questions.
issue 1:
For a 64 bit os (As far as i can tell) i should have a Program File (X64)
but instead i have the (X86) instead. is this an issue/ how can i remedy this?
Added weirdness: when i tried to open an old program i got a message saying: This program is not valid with this version of 32 bit Windows.
issue 2:
When i go to Switchable Graphics, i have the option to click on either High-Performance GPU or Power Saving GPU. usually when i do this it says "are you sure you want to change GPU, it is recommended to close apps.. BLAHBLAH" however, sometimes it simply does nothing. i click the GPU i would like and literally nothing happens. This same issue seems to have happened to --> http://forums.techarena.in/portable-devices/1362688.htm ... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
