    popeye - thank you I might try that.

    My real problem though is updating my drivers. I've been getting blue screens during games (Lara Croft Guardian of Light frequently, Trine 2 occasionally, and haven't tried any other games) with atikmpag.sys being the likely culprit according to dump logs.
    What is the latest drivers you guys have for the Acer 7750G with AMD 7670M. I'm trying to download the updated catalyst control center 12.3 but those are not compatible with AMD 7xxx series I'm finding. Currently I'm using the most recent from Acer website:
    Version 2011.1013.754.12275

    I'm using the leshcat modded drivers here: leshcat blog IT Tips & Tricks: Catalyst 12.3 WHQL UnifL for Switchable Graphics

    Don't know how they'll perform with 7670m as I have 6650m. They work great for me. Be sure to follow his instructions EXACTLY if you decide to try. The instruction manual is linked on the sidebar at his site.

    thx for this. jus got this laptop 3 days ago and with the perma switch to the radeon bios update, everything looks amazing in my games. i actually bought this to be a work notebook but it runs games so much faster and clearer and with more frames than my desktop, i've been playing games on the notebook instead lol.

    puffidredz - you have 7750G with the 7670 card? or from the amd 6000 series? I haven't found anyone that has used this bios with my system (7670M).

    Wolfz's done it here: Acer Laptop: Switchable Graphics using i7 & AMD Radeon - Page 18 - Windows 7 Forums

    Be sure to read through the whole thing. He had to install the 1.20 OEM bios first then the modded bios. I already had OEM 1.20 installed before going to the modded.

    For some reason with my 7750g-9810 (7670m) I cannot get leshcat drivers to install. I even tried on a clean install of Windows 7 after DSE being confirmed disabled. I wonder what causes this?

    You do have UAC turned off?

    Yeah, it's one of the first things I disable. I can get it to install up to a point of choosing what to install within Catalysy Install Manager, but the AMD driver nor the CCC are ever in that list to be checked.

    The first time you run the driver package do you get the screen where you select which Intel driver and different patches that leshcat provides?
