Hi guys,

I have an 8400gs and want to turn off hardware acceleration..but it wont let me. Even in safemode it says it can not write to registry to change it.


Any ideas? I have the newest drivers as well.

Thanks!
 
Right click on desktop or goto in display properties from the control panel. Then goto to advanced, and there should be a tab labeled "Troubleshooting". And the option is on that page.


Question: What do you need to turn off acceleration for?
 
The option is greyed out. It says my driver software wont let me turn it off.

PowerDVD Ultra is giving me some problems and I read that turning it off might fix it
 
Try gettting the latest patch for powerDvD, I usually get some weirdness off their release CD's and a patch usually does it for me.
 
You must have the microsoft driver installed. Have you installed the Nvidia driver?
 
I'm using the Nvidia driver. Installed, uninstalled, installed again. Tried everything, greyed out forever.
 
Try using driver cleaner pro or the driver sweeper, guru3d should have both available for download.
