Software that will change graphics card to on board graphics?

justaquestion

Hi there,


I have cyberlink power director that won't open with my ati radeon 4600 card, old card with newest drivers in windows 10. If I disable the card in device manager then it opens ok, I take it, is is working with the on board graphics on motherboard (haven't done anything in bios to change that)


Just wondering is there a handier way to do this, like use some software to make power director always open with the mobo graphics. I am running windows 10.


Thanks

Unless you have physically removed the card or disabled it in the BIOS it will be using the add in card. Sounds more like the drivers are the issue.

What version of cyberlink power director ?

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode ?

That Radeon is a very old card which is likely to be the issue. A newer card will not be much money and be more likely to work. Then again you could just remove the Radeon and only use the onboard graphics which is cheaper and works.

Thanks for replies. It runs fine in windows 7 but windows 8 or 10 no good. I am running version 9 of power director but downloaded the latest version and still the same.

I have tried all compatibility modes but no good.

Permanently disabling the card not much good as games won't run.

Probably just will have to disable the card in device manager if I want to use Power director or else buy a different card.

I think its just something specific to that software as everything else runs fine so far with the card.
