Driver Trouble

[boxa72]

I downloaded the preview yesterday and now my laptop thinks it's max display resolution is 640x480 and everything is blown up too big. When I try to download the latest drivers from AMD I can't see the radio buttons so I can't download them. I've tried trashing down to then but that's almost like a blind guess. Any ideas would be appreciated?? The UI looks great n would look even better with the proper resolution

Download the driver file on another PC and transfer using a flash drive and run?

I don't have access to another right this moment but I'll keep that in mind for when I do thx

Try to run Windows update, it should install drivers automatically.At least that's how it's for me, it always install for itself.

Yeah I did but then in Device Manager it says there's a problem and the weird thing is it downloads both AMD HD 8330 and 8600M???

Also it won't let me change the screen resolution which seems to think it's 640x480???

It's a direct result of having a basic display driver in place of the driver built for your card. Best bet is to find the specific make and model of your laptop and visit its support page. Guaranteed to have the display driver for your laptop there.

Being a beta, I don't believe it will install the specific drivers you need. The saving grace here is that if your video card has a working 8/8.1 driver, it will work perfectly with Win 10.

Actually the fix was easier than that, no download required. I just disabled Secure Boot and enabled CSM (legacy mode) and alls well now. Thx everyone that helped and maybe if anyone else had a problem they can try the same thing.

Btw, now o can see the preview with the proper resolution it's an amazing piece of software. I'm really liking the way they've cleaned up settings especially
