i have a hp pavilion dv4 2106tx and i need drivers for my graphics card. i have intel media graphics accelerator and an ati radeon 4550.my laptop uses switchable graphics which allows me to switch between intel media graphics accelerator and ati radeon 4550. i found drivers for intel as well as ati on hp's website and intel worked but it didnt work well and the drivers which i found at amd's website worked, but my laptop was using intel graphics not ati. so i need switchable graphics drivers......please help me.
thanks in advance
I HAVE WINDOWS 8 64BIT

As HP says on it's Windows 8 Upgrade page (second link in my previous post) they cannot guarantee that all features will work properly after upgrading. Only models which ship with Windows 8 pre-installed will definitely support all features since all those features will have been tested with Windows 8 before leaving the factory.
Only HP drivers on a supported version of Windows will give you switchable GPU support. Your problem stems from the fact that HP do not appear to have Windows 8 drivers for the Pavilion dv4-2106tx. See this driver page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4110822&task=&
