Its because the game thinks it cannot be handled by the Intel GPU and therefore runs at lowersettings. there might be a settings file in the installation folder which you can tweak. but i think, when the game starts again, it "corrects" itself..

IS their any solution for playing these games in fullscreen ?

Hi guys i am following this forum since many days and I am eager to buy this great laptop i might buy this laptop in few days.

This morning i came across an article which said that HP is planning to get at par
with PC and LAPTOP business. Although it is believed that company will take 12-18 months to take any decisions .

If this news are true then what about the current owners ???
I am concerned about repair, warranty and after sales services.

Please reply soon as i am considering to purchase this laptop by tomorrow.

By the way this is the link to the article [LINK]

Why are you even trying to make it?Do you want to recover with all the bloats again?
Just download win7 home premium from somewhere(if you don`t have it already)and google ABR,you are set for a clean windows7 without all HP crap.

Press escape key during start up!

which one has better screen quality?
dv6-6017tx vs dv-6121tx
Both have sub standard screen.But if it is your first laptop you won`t even notice it!You really need to use some good displays to understand how bad it is.

It has a minimal recovery thing. Only installs the OS + Drivers + Must haves.

whats your battery life like on a normal day of 6121tx (playing no games)?
5 - 6 Hrs

Tests on friends laptop (6017tx)

Downloading with wired net - 5h45m
Downloading with wifi - 4h30m
Gaming - 2h50m

XPS15 also lasts ~ 4h30 without wifi.

Sandybridge is very energy efficient.

On the onboard gpu, I have seen 2 movies back to back on a single charge. I think I have said that before. So yes, the battery backup is quite good. Surprising, even.

I'm talking about stuff that controls laptop specific stuff, like Coolsense.

And don't tell me about bloat. My setup is very very light.

i agreee ... nd well i like those so called "bloats" from hp :lol:..... and i successfuly made the recovery backup.....

QUE : ok is any one sure that if i make iso image of those recovery dvds... will it work for me in future wen i burn those iso's on new dvd???:-?
