    Try to uninstall the amd driver and also intel driver and then reboot and try installing the amd drivers alone..

    Hi,
    I also have the amd switchable gfx in my hp tm2t. It works perfectly well for me. I didnt try the latest driver from amd(released doe win 8). Instead i just used the oficial driver from HP for win 7 OS. Installed the driver with win 7 compability. After installing if its still shows any error while clicking the "configure switchable graphics". just uninstall driver and then install it. All works fine :D
    I have tried this method even with win 8 DP, all worked exprect brightness adjustment. In CP all works like in win 7.
