    Hello everyone,

    I'm working on a clean install of my W500 but it's turning out to be more of a pain than I thought. I can't seem to get the switcable graphics to work anymore. I'm using the latest driver from lenovo. When I try to left click on my power manager there is no more option for high performance/power saver. It automatically sets me to the intel graphics and when I check on the device manager it says that drivers for my ati card isn't even installed. Any help would be appreciated.
