    Hi all,

    I'm having some graphic card issue with a new HP Zbook 17 G3 laptop on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and Nvidia Quadro 3000M, all latest drivers. Nvidia using driver 376.62

    Desktop - On a dual screen, PNG and certain JPEG can only open in 1 screen on Windows photo viewer. see an image that i placed in the middle of 2 monitors:

    Web - Chrome and Firefox drivers have the same issue as well (screenshot) while Internet explorer works fine.

    Anyone can help?

    We had a similar issue with HP Zbook G3

    Here is what vave helped:
    win 7 was updated, and also HP Softpaq check showed all installed drivers (just to be sure).

    I went to bios (ESC during startup, than F10) and set Advanced - Built in Devices - Graphic from hybrid to discrete.
    Save and boot to windows.

    Than once again go to bios and reset graphoc back to the Hybrid. Boot to Widows.

    After this, images started to work. Don't ask me what caused the issue, this hepled.
