Question / Help Help with Laptop Black Screen?

I have looked through these forums to try to find a solution to the black screen issue when streaming on the laptop. I understand from Jim's thread about how there are the separate adapters. However, I am unable to obtain the NVIDIA or AMD Control Panel as mentioned in that post, which is necessary to set OBS to use the performance GPU. Without that step, I am unable to get anywhere.

On OBS, I already have scenes and sources set up for what I want to stream, but I need to find a way to access either control panel to set OBS to receive information from the performance/gaming GPU. I am currently using an HP Notebook G72, with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 as my graphics card, and therefore as my only option to choose from for a video adapter under Settings/Video. I have disabled Aero, my bitrate is at 2000 but can be put higher, and everything else is basically set up as it should be.

This may be vague, but if anybody asks for more info, I should be able to provide it. Is there anyone who can help me? If so, it is greatly appreciated.

Never mind, I found out that ATI reformed into AMD, so I was able to find the Catalyst AMD graphics driver which works with the 5430. Everything should be fine now, disregard this.

What game are you trying to capture?

I am trying to stream Age of Empires 2 HD. But, again, I believe I may have found a solution. If it still doesn't work, I will leave a reply stating such.

Actually, one question. How do I set up OBS to run on the AMD Catalyst GPU from within the Catalyst Control Center?
