It doesn't matter. I don't need DX12 support on it, but damn playback of some stupid video is certainly something I'd expect from a GPU. It has a HD6000 series GPU on it. It ain't THAT old no matter what.

Sure it's weak for gaming, but if it was barely able to decode 4K before, and now I can't even play 480p, what does that tell you?
It tells us you're running the generic Windows driver. Go install an older version as other's have suggested. Windows 10 doesn't require WDDM 2.0 drivers IIRC. Cool you jets and listen to what people are telling you. No one likes a person who's so worked up they can't pay attention to the recommendations being made. Also 4 years old is a while for how under-powered the E-450 was even when it came out but, that's beside the point. Just try using the same version drivers you had before you upgraded.

Then what the hell is the point of "generic" drivers if they do nothing other than paste a stupid name in the Device Manager!? I don't care how "weak" and "underpowered" it was when it came out. It works like absolute junk TODAY on 10 times less demanding things than it did in the past. Why is WU even bothering installing a huge driver if it then does NOTHING to ANY performance!? It doesn't just go backwards with logic, it goes 1000 kilometers backwards.

So you can use your f**king computer. Would you rather it booted with no video support and zero ability to do anything? Without any ability to install video drivers because a half-decent generic one doesn't exist? Just quit your whining and install an old version already. Now all you're doing is being a winey little s**t. I'm astonished this thread hasn't been closed like the other by now.

People were willing to help you and you're willing to keep ranting, that's reason enough to close this thread. You don't want help, you want an audience to rant to...

I HAVE NO VIDEO SUPPORT. This crap can't run anything, not even stupid 480p video. What the hell is YOUR problem? And I've installed the Win8.1 driver that fully supports my graphic card and the Youtube was still lagging like I'm trying to view it on Commodore C128...

You're winey attitude. It's not conducive to people wanting to help you. No one likes a winey s**t who complains all the time, even when they want help.
I've installed the Win8.1 driver that fully supports my graphic card and the Youtube was still lagging like I'm trying to view it on Commodore C128...
It sounds like the driver still isn't loaded up. Does it say it's AMD's driver in device manager because it sounds like you're still on that generic driver. Also yes, the generic driver is going to suck but at least you can see what you're doing to install the right one. That's the point of it...

So lets see Device Manager. The driver should say the driver provider is AMD and not Microsoft. If it says Microsoft, the driver never actually loaded it. It's entirely possible that it might not want to load the older driver through the installer and that you might have better luck manually installing it. Honestly, if you've tried several versions of catalyst without using a driver cleaner, I would clean up the PC again and attempt to install the one that worked with 8.1 again. If it still holds on to the Microsoft driver, you may want to try manually updating it through the device manager by telling it what .inf file should get loaded up for your graphics card if it's an "incompatibility" thing since the old installer might not be Windows 10 aware but, this is all guesswork because we get more ranting than information.

Either way, report back what device manger is. It will illuminate how to proceed and what questions to ask. I'm willing to help so long as you don't turn this thread into a dumping place where rants go to die.

Also, this is all resting on the assumption that you properly removed drivers before installing new ones or that you've successfully attempted to install them. So more info, less ranting please.

Enough is enough. For f%#k's sake, why does @Aquinus still bother to help you? Everything he posts is a suggestion, and you keep coming back with "what the hell is your problem?

Christ alive. This isn't an A10-6800K. If you ran Windows on a Snapdragon 400, this is what you would get. Absolute sh*t quality and performance. If you're already on Windows 10, why not try a refresh or something (clean install)?

What IS your problem, bud? You ask people for help then you hurl shit at them when they try to help you, then you go to a different set of people and continue to hurl shit around.

I got DXVA2 working in Win10 (E2-1800, Zacate) by installing the 15.6 beta drivers. 15.7 and 15.7.1 wouldn't install.

Also previous Windows 10 insider drivers (DX12 supported) were fine, but I'm not sure which driver version it was.

I'm pretty sure it'll work for E-450 as well, it's basically the same APU.

if it's not the latest ... he will not read or even consider that option ... for him the latest have to be the best and bugfree directly on day one ... it seems ..

tho nice solution! (can confirm it works on a E-450 mATX ASUS mobo)

It's the early adopter thing. MS is just doing the same thing that game publishers have been doing to us for years. Sell it and let your customer base beta test it for you and let them find the bugs.

btw RejZor I like you just fine but the voices in my head don't like you. They say you're too negative and that I should just avoid the Christmas rush and start hating you right now but I'm not listening to them. They can't get along with anybody anyway. :p

Rejzor, look in Task Manager and make sure nothing is taking up a lot of CPU cycles. For example on 8.1 my dad's laptop had a problem with windows update and there would be something called TiWorker.exe maxing out the hard drive and cpu. In task manager under the details tab or Processes tab you can sort by CPU utilization.

Okay, since I haven't seen anyone clarify this (if you did then I must be blind today)

Yes, the E-450 is an APU with a 6320g in there, but APUs usually go with the MOBILE version of the chips, so with that in mind, how much power do you think you'll get anyway? I mean when you pair that with a dual-core that runs at 1.65ghz, it's not going to do much of anything.

My laptop has a 6520g in there and it does stuff.. It tries to go places but it doesn't since newer drivers are a bit buggy, I sit on 14.1 or 14.2.

My advice? Grow up and quit fighting Win10 because all it's done is make yourself look like an ass when people are trying to help you.

vga.dll means no GPU acceleration for video playback hence the slowness.

Option a: download the driver package that originally worked, run it so it extracts the drivers, and from device manager, point it to that folder and it will hopefully find and install those drivers.

Option b: revert to previous Windows install and wait until AMD releases drivers for Zacate (assuming they ever do).

Well our 450 barely ran ok with video's and in Win 10 it is surely worse with added full screen crashes lol. Funny one is going to AMD's website to check for a driver for it comes up blank lol.

When we 1st got it for our eldest it worked perfectly fine but even set back to it's original state it's no were as good as it was. Like to know what the fuck happened too flash just became to much for it.

Our eldest ( left home now ) gave it to the youngest of brats we have here she's letting me know about the problems as to be honest i don't have the time and just annoys me no end.

No it should not be this bad but it is and it's pointless complaining about it here, but i do feel your pain with this matter.

I say sell it and pick up a older laptop like a DELL 1764, ours is1-2 years older than the 450 uses about 20-30 and is way is a hell load better and really fast with a SSD which is what i typed this on and can be had for about $200.

Most of the W10 threads I just look at, and always come to the same conclusion. I feel it's still wait and see time, like it is with ALL MS OSes after launch. I might try it when some decent Dx12 games trickle in, but until then, I think I'll avoid the frustrations in tile happy land.

I just upgraded and except for some stupid design decisions, it seems okay and I'm ultra fussy about operating systems. It can mostly be configured to mimic Windows 7 and it does have some nice multi-monitor features that were missing before (e.g. the task bar can be made to appear on each and even allows you to only show windows on secondary displays that are presently shown on that display).

Then what the hell is the point of "generic" drivers if they do nothing other than paste a stupid name in the Device Manager!? I don't care how "weak" and "underpowered" it was when it came out. It works like absolute junk TODAY on 10 times less demanding things than it did in the past. Why is WU even bothering installing a huge driver if it then does NOTHING to ANY performance!? It doesn't just go backwards with logic, it goes 1000 kilometers backwards.
Seriously, do you even computer?

I installed 13.1 drivers for an HD 42xx card today. Steps:
1. download the latest version of AMD drivers for the device for Windows 8 32-bit or 64-bit (match OS obviously).
2. once downloaded, run it.
3. After the initial extraction, it will pop up to continue the install. Cancel. It will fail anyway because the OS doesn't match what the drivers are for.
4. Log in to an admin account if you aren't already.
5. right-click on the start button and select Device Manager
6. expand Display Adapters
7. Find the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" that needs updating and double click on it.
8. Change to "driver" tab.
9. Click "Update Driver."
10. Click the button that says you'll find the driver yourself.
11. Navigate to C:\AMD which was created by the installer in step 1.
12. ???
13. Profit!

Then again, why the hell discontinue only a 4 years old GPU !? It's idiotic. HD5000 are supported but HD6000 isn't. It's basic, but it's still HD6000 series and I've always been using same drivers as used for discrete GPU's. AMD, stop being lazy.

APU versus GPU. Point is: stop complaining and install the driver. There aren't many Windows 7/8.1 drivers Windows 10 will flatly reject. You just have to circumvent the installer.

I think VIA VDock, discreet GPU drivers, and HP printers are the only ones that fail.

It doesn't matter if it's APU. It's using HD6000 GPU. End of story. This ain't a mobility product that has a separate driver. Stop defending lazy vendors. Damn.

It is a mobile GPU with it's own GPU driver.

And yet it installs (or shall I say it used to) from the desktop package. Make up your mind... THIS. AIN'T. MOBILITY. GPU.

AMD seems to think the latest drivers should work (15.7.1) but I suspect you tried them:
32-bit
64-bit

AMD said:
AMD APU Product Family Compatibility
AMD Radeon™ HD 6000G Series
AMD uses one driver package for pretty much everything except legacy (HD 4 series and down).


I'm getting a strong impression that E-450 was special order for OEMs only which means drivers are supposed to be provided by the OEM. Have you checked the OEM's website? What is the brand and model number of the laptop?

OEM drivers are garbage. They stopped supporting it basically sine day one. Typical for OEM's...

I've forced installed Omega drivers now and Youtube seems to run smooth now. I just hope retarded Windows 10 Update won't force install their "latest" garbage over these...
