    My native resolution, much like everyone else who bought the NB when I did, is 1366x768. Usually I play intense games at 1280x720 for performance...
    After the BF3 required AMD Driver update (released during BETA) I have lost that option in Window's Settings, in Intel Graphics Properties, I can't make a custom resolution at 720p (Your display doesn't support it) and it is not a mode that is in the Display properties (advanced) list.

    Before this update, it was there, worked fine.
    After the update, it was there until I rebooted.
    If I revert to an old driver, install the latest, install another preview driver, as soon as the process finished, I can set it to 720p, just like before, just not after a reboot.

    This happens with Native Display, an external TV, whose native is 1440x900, and I can't use 720p anymore.
    But it doesn't happen with my external projector, I can connect at anytime and use 1280x720 and the native for the projector is only 800x600.
    HELP?
    And this is on both GPU's

    If you guys don't mind trying a modded driver, check out this switchable driver by leshcat.


    • Uninstall your current driver and use Driver Sweeper to clean the left over file.
    • Install leshcat's switchable driver without installing HP driver.
    • When you reboot, Press F8 to disable Force Driver Signature. You need to do this on every boot.

    Ps: If you're using default Window bootloader, you can try DSE to disable driver signature enforcement or ReadyDriverPlus. I'm using GRUB so i need to disable it manually.
