hello everybody,
sorry but i don't know a lot about graphics card or drivers.
i want to connect a second monitor to my laptop hp with windows 10
but i can't, and going to the device manager i see that there are 2 drivers
"AMD mobility Radeon hd 5000" and "ATI Mobility Radeon hd 4200"
the first one shows that there's a problem 43 and the second is ok,
but, cpuz shows that the driver i'm using is the second one and it seems that it has no problem

i also tryed to reinstall the first one, but i just CAN'T find the driver to download in the amd site.
anyone can help?
is it good to have 2 driver installed?

I would make an exception for laptops and go to the manufacturer's site to check for drivers first. Some laptops are set up in a...

Some laptops are set up in a proprietary manner which require their drivers (only seen one case, but that's enough to make me wary).
