Video Driver Issue in Windows 8


Recommended Posts

Hi All

Windows 8 Pro 64bit

Upgrade OVer top Install over Windows 7 64bit--System Restore with Recovery discs--wanted as close of clean install as I could get then

prior to Installing WIndows 8 Pro 64bit

Issue is All settings almost missing from CCC Control Panel, 12.10 Drivers installed with 12.10 Cap1

Any ideas on solving besides a Full Windows 8 Clean install that will take a lot of time, Was thinking maybe disconnect from internet tomorrow, remove from add/remove programs or Programs and Features area, reboot to safe mode, driver fusion, restart in regular mode, reinstall ATI Drivers, reboot, reinstall Cap, and be done?

i'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say you have a "now" legacy amd card (aka 4xxx series and back)

amd only supports the the 5000 series and up for windows 8, you won't get the full control panel with anything older

hmm, yeah your card should definitely still be supported, not sure why you're only getting the options that legacy cards get on 8.

try installing the beta drivers and see if that helps https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1123630-amd-catalyst-1211-beta-11/

could just be a bug in the 12.10 drivers maybe

you can try the 12.11 beta for ex, for legacy you can use http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=370567 but probably dont apply to you

try this, i always do this when installing new drivers if you dont have any problem using regedit

Rebooted PC, and totally reinstalled 12.10 drivers, using Driver fusion in safe mode, and fixed the issue--so that problem is taken care of. Eventually I may do a full clean install of Windows 8, instead of upgrade over top of Windows 7 64bit like I did before. But I may wait for Windows Blue 8.1 before I go that far

Thanks Everyone for the replies

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
