Skyrim flicker with AMD

My problem is when I start Skyrim (even with the lowest settings) there is a constant flicker. I have not even got to the game yet, I mean on the start-up screen and the intro video. Going to high performance settings makes zero difference.

When I go to the options on teh SKyrim launcher, it only recognizes my Intel HD card, not my AMD HD7600A.

I have spent hours on Google and this forum searching for an answer, but have come up with nothing. Some suggest getting an earlier version of the amd driver, but I don't think they will work on windows 8.

My settings are below. I realise they are not top, but I should be able to at least have a steady display on the lowest settings.

Can anyone please help me? If I could just get skyrim to recognize my graphics card rather than the built in one I think I could make some progress.


Processor: i5-3330S (2 x 2.7 GHz)
8 GB RAM
Windows 8.1
AMD Radeon HD 7600A

In case anyone reading this has the same problem, I finally found a semi-satisfactory workaround. Play in windowed mode (via the 'options' on the initial menu). I can play at the highest resolution with no issues. Of course you see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, but otherwise it is similar to playing fullscreen.
