    I've been running in fixed mode for a while, but decided to switch back to dynamic today (since I really don't need to be running on the 6770 all the time).

    Well, when I switched back, everything on my screen was huge and when I tried getting into the CCC, it said no driver was detected.

    I switched back to fixed mode and now everything is normal again. What's causing this?

    I'm on the latest HP driver right now (from 11-18-11).

    Thats because dynamic sucks. Keep it on fixed on the intel card and only switch to the 6770 when you need it.

    - Go to Device Manager.
    - Expand the Display Adapters.
    - Right-click the Radeon 6770 and select Enable.
    - Restart the PC when prompted.

    I think you need to use AMD GPU on Fixed before u change to Dynamic.
    I read that somewhere in HP website but i can't find it right now.
