Photoshop GPU Problem with i7

1,150 Views

I have a Lenovo laptop X201 - Windows 7, 64 bit, 8gb memory, Intel i7 processor with video included as part of the processor.

When I open Photoshop CS5, it says, ""Problem encountered...GPU automatically disabled." Then CS5 shuts down. When I use it with "Enable open GL drawing" unchecked, I don't have this problem.

Any suggestions, please?

Also, as this may be related - when I open the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel, it says Graphics Memory In Use = 145 MB. Is there any way I can increase this to 256 MB or even higher if higher is better?

Thanks in advance.
