    Hi Notebookreview Envy 14 lovers,

    I need some advise, I have a problem with my Envy14 Radiance 1050ca. Once i switched to Radeon 5650, some webpages are not displayed properly when (blacked out or not refreshing properly). I installed the drivers from HP's website and no luck. Also installed the newest AMD drivers from AMD website.

    Also when i connect mini display port to a 1680 x 1050+ resolution (extended desktop), the system would slow down and the cursor would skip and pause. Anyone experienced this similar problem?

    Help would be much appreciated, thanks

    Here are the driver and hardware info from ATI Catalyst software.

    Also i did a clean Win7 64bit installation.

    I don't have any insight to the display port problem,
    However, with the black websites, you must close your browser and restart it if you switched the graphics while they were open.
