How to disable hardware acceleration of a Geoforce 8600M GT under Vista Premium 32 bit? _____ The drivers for my 8600M GT in a Vista Home Premium notebook automatically choose one of three operating points, depending on demand - 2D only (includes Aero operation), 3D low power, and 3D high power. The GPU and the Memory Clock speeds change (and voltages may also change.) Hysterisis is provided so that the setting does not bounce back and forth as requirements change (i.e. a higher setting does not revert to a lower setting until several seconds have passed.) I would guess that the power settings for your notebook might lock out the 3D high power operation if you so chose. If you really mean 'disable hardware acceleration', then to what end? Disable hardware cursor? Go back to all the capability seen in the BIOS boot up screen? Is this something you wish to do for trouble shooting (as you could in earlier MS Windows Operating Systems?) I think you are seeking an answer for which there is no question. Phil Weldon "GRL" wrote in message ... How to disable hardware acceleration of a Geoforce 8600M GT under Vista Premium 32 bit?

Normally I'm thrilled to see such derring-do in our otherwise lingo filled and technically dull speak but the poor OP is from Italy and english is probably his 4th language. Hysterisis... have you been wharfing around Edinburgh recently? |

Disabling hardware acceleration
Only my 3rd language...
I'm asking how to disable because many screen capture programs ask me to do it. Thanks all. Giovanni "Mr.E Solved!" ha scritto nel messaggio . ..

I just tried it in Vista and the bastages removed it from DirectX10 so I no longer know how. You should only need to do that if the progs give you issues with acceleration on. I only had to turn it off for one old Dos game I used to play. |

Disabling hardware acceleration
I am not using Vista, but try running "DXDIAG", there might be a possibilty
to disable DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleration. Just a guess Thomas |
