    Hey guys! I'm in need of some help. I've never installed new drivers before and I really want to install the new AMD 12.11 beta 3, along with the newer Intel drivers. I've tried reading some walkthroughs but I can't find any that are in depth. This is my first time ever trying this so I need information about what to use, where to use it, and what order to use it in. As much information as possible. If anyone would find it easier to explain it to me over skype, feel free to add me on there.
    My Skype name is tray_eberle

    Thanks so much!

    I'm also curious about the "right" way. It seems people are having mixed results with different methods. I used the method Tranta detailed in another thread and it worked, but others have said it didn't.

    Sorry for the last post. Actually , the easiest way seems to be the best. believe me, I tried everything today and finally it was about installing the 12.11 pack on top of the one you have. ( 12.8 if you haven't changed anything)
    So, download from amd, start install and use custom option. In the list of components that appear, you do not have to install the "amd drag and drop transcoding for windows 7" or the" amd app sdk runtime" , as they have caused problems + you can alwys install them later.
    The intel drivers can stay like they were, or at least thats how I managed to get it working. Try this first and maybe save yourself a world of hurt......
    You may get a blue screen after installing ( I got 2), but reboot and it should work.
    Hope it helps!

    Most popular way is install Intel drivers, reboot, install AMD drivers, reboot, then that should do it.

    I did post this morning the steps thinking that this way it should work but in the end it did not. What I did was uninstall all drivers intel and amd + driver sweeper + deleting hidden files. Then install everything fresh, first intel reboot then amd reboot but that didn't work. Now, I'm running stock drivers with the new CCC.

    The best for now I would recommend guys is to use stock or 12.9 beta drivers + stock intel driver, until we dond find proper way to install them. Because I tried all posible ways of doing it but without results. May be there is one way I haven't tried yet, it's to install first amd then intell driver.

    but if you want to run the new CCC with stock driver the steps are.

    1. Uninstall stock amd from control panel/ programs and features / amd catalyst that should uninstall intel driver as well.
    2. Reboot
    3. Check in device manager in control panel that display drivers shows standard, if no uninstall the drivers from there.
    4. Reboot
    5. Check one more time if the drivers shows standard, if no uninstall one more time and reboot in safe mode (enter in safe mod is with f8 before windows start after bios loads)
    6. Run driver sweeper for amd in safe mode
    7. Reboot Normal
    8. Check in device manager that shows for display drivers standard.
    9. Open from control panel/ folder option/ vew - then show hidden files
    10. Go to program data folder in C:/ and look in all sub directories for amd or ati folders and delete them.
    11. Go to user folder in C:/ and check all sub folders for others amd and ati folder and delete them.
    12. Turn back your option for hidden files.
    13. Run the stock display driver installation but don't install express, select custom
    14. Uncheck all option except only for the drivers amd and intell
    15. Install only drivers
    16. Run 12.11 beta and the same procedure but install everything except driver and drop and drag or something like that.
    17. Reboot
    18. That should work , new CCC with stock driver.
    If it's not working this way then is step 16 and then 13 to 15.

    For now that works form me. However, how I said I'm still looking for a way to install properly the new driver.
    Hope we can find the way, all together "more brains are better than one".

    I still recommend going for the simple way of doing it. Also the only intel hd 4000 driver that seems to be stable for me is the " 8.951.6.0" dating back to 29/3/12. I think these were the stock drivers so you can find them again at clevo downloads if you need them.
    Like I said I really hope it works out for you and please try it my way before you do what I did and over - complicate it!

    I just installed the drivers over the old one and it added 500 points to my 3Dmark. Extremely pleased with it! Also, has anyone tried downloaded one of the new MSI afterburner's to see if they work with the new drivers?
