Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
Hi, kingfish.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
Yup....first thing to do is go to Windows Update and get your computer current. Especially the 'Optional' updates which will include the C++ and .netframeworks upgrades. I am assuming you already have SP1 installed. After that is finished:
Your laptop is equipped with switchable graphics. In order to update the AMD driver, the Intel graphics must be the current version. Go to this Intel link, and use the Intel Driver Update Utility to find the latest graphics driver for your laptop. Download and save it to your desktop.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx
Download these AMD drivers to your desktop.> Mobile
Now delete the Intel drivers from your computer using 'uninstall a program' in the computer control panel. Uninstall the AMD drivers from your computer using the 'uninstall a program' in the computer control panel.
NOTICE IMPORTANT:
Computers with Intel processors select 'express' uninstall all AMD software including the install manager.
Computers with AMD processors custom uninstall the AMD graphics driver and Catalyst Control Panel only.
Reboot.
Note: All anti-malware/anti-virus/anti-anything should be disabled during driver installation.
Now install the Intel drivers first....reboot. And lastly the AMD drivers....reboot.
NOTICE: If you do not want raptr/gaming evolved installed with your new drivers, select 'custom install' and uncheck the box for "gaming Evolved".
If you are having issues with the normal installation of the Mobility drivers, use the clean install method , making sure you install the latest Intel drivers.

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
Yes, I do have Service Pack 1. I've installed many updates but one (the remote desktop update) failed. No biggie there.
Before I uninstall anything related to my Intel installations, I thought I'd better look at everything first to see what should and shouldn't be uninstalled. Here's what I'm seeing in my "Programs and Features" in Control Panel:
- Intel(R) Solid-State Drive Toolbox
- Intel(R) Driver Update Utility
- Intel(R) Graphics Driver
- Intel(R) Management Engine Components
- Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology
- Intel(R) Trusted Connect Service Client
- Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver
I feel confident that I should uninstall #2 and #3 as those (I'm assuming) correspond to the video drivers that the Intel video adapter uses, but is there anything else in that I should uninstall? Is it really necessary to uninstall any of these before upgrading the Intel adapter?
Also, you referred to the http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%207%20-%2064 page... Which download should I use? I see 3 downloads on there:
- Radeon Software @ 239 MB
- Another Radeon Software @ 300 MB
- An AMD Minimal Setup @ 12.5 MB
The literature my laptop came with often refers to the AMD graphics adapter as a "discreet adapter." What exactly does that mean? The notes on that AMD page indicate "AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition Hotfix drivers are compatible with AMD Discrete graphics products," but I'm not sure if that note refers to the first download or one of the bottom 2... I'm just not sure which download to use...

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
Just uninstall # 3. Use the latest driver > 16.8.2 < as it's the latest driver. Never install the 'minimal setup'. Discrete adapter is the AMD graphics. Discrete means seperate from the built-in graphics. That's half of the 'switchable' graphics set-up. The other half is the integrated (IGP) graphics (Intel) which is part of the processor. They work together and must be compatible as far as drivers are concerned.

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
1.) In "normal" Windows (not Safe Mode), I uninstalled both the AMD drivers and the Intel drivers from Programs and Features. Done.
2.) I went into Safe Mode then, ran the DDU v17.x uninstaller targeting the AMD drivers. Done.
3.) I then went back into normal Windows, began the Intel driver installation, declined the "May we use your information," thing and got up to about 75% when I was then presented with the following dialogue box: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." Should I continue? It looks like it's the 2.6 version of their update utility... I obtained it ("Intel Driver Update Utility Installer.exe") from here: Intel® Driver Update Utility. Just so you know, my anti-virus (Symantec Endpoint) was disabled during my attempt of installing the Intel drivers.

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
I ran the repair tool and it appeared to repair the .NET framework.
Once I finally installed the Intel drivers, I then restarted. After the restart, I attempted to run the AMD driver installation. The first time I tried this, it appeared as if Explorer froze as I couldn't even access the Task Manager to manually terminate the execution of the AMD driver installation executable. Because of this, I was forced to do a hard shut down.
Once I managed to get back to the Desktop after the shutdown, I managed to finally execute the AMD installation. I installed everything except the Gaming Evolved. I wasn't sure if I should install the VulcanRT thing but after researching some of it on Google, I allowed it to be installed, too.
So everything installed but once I rebooted the system after installation, I got back to the Desktop only to see the following:
In Device Manager, I can see that the AMD Radeon HD 7970M has a tiny yellow exclamation icon next to it and the error found in its details is as follows: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
Here's what it looks like:

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
Would you go into your anti-virus/quarantine area and see if you have any blocked applications/programs. I know you said you disabled it, but some AV's have so many different parts, that some could have been active. If you find one referring to the driver installation, allow it...and make an exception. Try another install of the AMD drivers from Device Manager using the "have disk method".

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
Using "start smc -stop", I was able to shut down every service associated to Symantec Endpoint Protection verified in services.msc (I did this after also turning it off using the standard non-techy / CMD way of clicking on the taskbar icon and clicking on "disable").
After doing that, I went ahead and uninstalled the current AMD drivers via Programs and Features and then went back into Safemode to use DDU. Everything was removed.
Now back into normal Windows, I then re-attempt the AMD driver installation. Everything installs fine--no errors. I then restart.
Once I'm back at the Desktop after the restart, I see the same issue in the Device Manager with the little yellow exclamation icon, same error code, same popup, etc.

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
I did some more looking around at things and I noticed that some of the Windows updates didn't successfully install like I thought they did--I found this out by looking at the update log.
Doesn't Microsoft have some sort of application that can be run locally to install updates? I'm not sure why, but there seems to be an issue with my update mechanism I guess. Still looking into this...

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
Okay, so I guess I had a few issues with my Windows Update mechanism. After a couple nights of trying to resolve the issue and following through instructions someone from the Windows 7 Answers site provided me with, I finally managed to get it working again and finally installed the important updates (i.e. - security updates, etc.).
I left the optional updates for last, which are as follows:
- Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.0, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 - Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000.
- KB2592687 (An RDP update.)
- KB2952664 (Misc. issues fix.)
- KB3161102 (" ")
- KB3170735 (" ")
- KB3179573 (" ")
Since I just updated the Intel drivers using the updater from Intel, should I still go ahead and install #1?
I'll install the other updates one at a time because the RDP update (#2) has caused me problems in the past and always had issues installing correctly--not sure yet about the others.

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
I went ahead and installed #1 mentioned in my last post (Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.0, Graphics Adapter WD...). Once I did this, I then went back into the Intel Upgrade Utility (the thing you get from the Intel site), ran it to see if any upgrades were available from them, and then only installed the ones that I needed (I stayed away from the outdated drivers as that came up during this last step).
After everything was up-to-date with Windows, the Intel drivers, etc., I finally installed the latest and greatest from AMD for the discreet adapter, rebooted, then everything was FINALLY working!
Thank you so much, kingfish. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without your insights. You rock!

Glad you have it sorted out wolf

Re: Laptop with 7970m: Skyrim doesn't see it nor does Catalyst do much when setting the executables to high performance...
I marked your very first reply as the correct answer as that was the one that led me down the path of realizing that the Windows Update was broken and needed to be 100% completed before moving forward with the other things. Hopefully that will give them enough guidance on it.
