I've posted about this problem a few times but haven't found a fix yet. I'll try to be a clear as possible.

Model: Samsung 700z series. NP700Z5A-S0BUS

I used the Samsung utility (SW Update) to update the graphics driver as prompted, which I will not use again after the trouble it's caused. After updating the "latest" driver, ATI Catalyst Control Center was gone and so was any resolution above 1024 x 768. The driver was dated 2006. I tried to rollback the driver, but it wasn't an option. I re-installed the ATI driver from Samsung's website as well as AMD's site which brought back the catalyst control center, but configurable graphics was completely gone.

I updated the Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver which fixed the resolution problem, but I'm still having no luck with the Radeon HD6750M driver.

Device Manager shows: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 version 9.17.10.3517. Drive date 3/20/2014
AMD Radeon 6600M and 6700M Series version 14.100.0.0. Driver date 4/17/2014
