Display driver to disable hardware acceleration

I just download "total screen recorder' and the first thing is it me to disable hardware acceleration. Went to the settings and tried to do it but I was told I could not turn it off. He made this statement;
"Your current display driver does not allow changes need to be made to hardware acceleration settings.

What should I do? Download another driver, and if so where and what would I choose? I am running windows Vista Home Basic.

Can someone please advise.

It is maybe that you don't have a choice in this matter. It depends on which allows Intel. It's pretty typical that they would allow him rather than him allowing not.
I think your driver just needs to be reinstalled.

If you access the Toshiba site and look for your specific model, it must only be a newer driver for Vista available.
Make sure that it is that of your specific operating system, such as 32-bit or 64-bit.

  • Adobe Flash crashed so I have disabled hardware acceleration

    I guess many people is aware of this problem.
    When you leave a video full screen, flash player crashed. Then I saw the solution in this site. He tells me to disable hardware acceleration. If it worked, I'm supposed to update my graphics drivers, but it is already up to date. I don't want to keep my hardware acceleration disabled but when I allow it I still have a few problems. Help me!
    Thank you

    Disabling hardware acceleration in the settings of the Flash is the solution given in article videos Flash will not play in full screen . If it works, the article suggests to update your graphics driver. If you can't do that, it's OK to leave disabled hardware acceleration. This Adobe help page has more information:

    If I have some display problems with Flash Player, what should I do?

    If you have problems to view with Flash Player, such as poor quality, image or slow display times deselect Enable hardware acceleration in the display panel. This should eliminate the problems of compatibility of hardware or driver with Flash Player. Flash Player then uses the software to scale and display content.

  • How to disable hardware acceleration for the only area?

    Firefox is a great product and I had not any problems so far that I couldn't solve... but:

    Microsoft updated the interface of Hotmail user, Firefox will crash now, whenever I have send an email from this site. This can be "solved" by disabling hardware acceleration, but I don't want to have to endure the inconvenience of it just because of a site... My graphics driver is updated.

    So my question: is it possible to create a work around for this problem? I doubt that the hardware acceleration may be disabled for a single site, but maybe there is a way that allows me to start a new instance of Firefox without hardware acceleration or something like that so I don't have to not go to options, turn off, restart Firefox, check/send emails, go to options again and restart again... any ideas?

    Hello, Bloodthorn, sorry, but the hardware acceleration may NOT be disabled for a single site (and I would like that too if possible), try Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and disable hardware acceleration in a portable version.

    Thank you

  • Is it possible to disable hardware acceleration via the registry or the command line?

    We manage a large number of computers used for the display of information - no keyboard/mouse interaction. We have encountered a problem with some SWF files and I'd like to test if it's resolved by disabling hardware acceleration. Is it possible to change this setting remotely (via the registry or the command line or other means)?

    Hello

    Yes, you can disable hardware acceleration on machines using the mms.cfg file.  Information on the use of the file mms.cfg to control the behavior of Flash Player is in Chapter 4 of the Guide Administration of Adobe Flash Player for Flash Player 14 | Adobe Developer Connection.

  • Disable hardware acceleration

    I am on Mac OS X 10.6.4 and I have Flash Player 10.1 plug in but I'm not able to disable hardware acceleration: I use the right click to display the preferences panel and I uncheck the acceleration and click on close, but when I reopen the preferences it later I see that the check is always enabled what I am doing wrong? Is there another way to turn it off?

    This happens sometimes (when the FP parameter files are corrupt).  Under Windows you can fix it by deleting the %APPDATA%\Adobe\Flash Player and Player files % APPDATA\Macromedia\Flash.  I have no idea where these records are kept on Mac OS, but you can probably find this information in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html

  • Disabling hardware acceleration also live up to anti-aliasing of fonts

    As in the title.

    First screenshot shows what happens with hardware acceleration enabled, which seems better, second screenshot shows how it looks an alias with disabled acceleration with the race missing in some places on the very light fonts.

    However, when hardware acceleration is enabled, if I open very large images or batch of images on line at the same time, the browser window will flash white, all tabs will lose their favicons and you must restart the browser. For this reason, I try to keep disabled hardware acceleration, but use (or method) for the rendering of the fonts only, if such a thing is possible. Also, I want a fix for hardware acceleration, causing such behaviour, although it seems more difficult.

    ClearType and font smoothing are both on the channel. Disabling one of them makes the fonts still worse.

    Thanks in advance.

    In fact, I've corrected the problem. Gfx.direct2d.force layout compatible true was what it took.

  • disable hardware acceleration set my image loading problem. is there another way to get around this?

    Since yesterday, when the images would load on Web sites, some of them would be entirely black, or black for the most part, with only a piece of the images loaded, only to fully charge a few minutes later.

    Disabling hardware acceleration has solved this problem, but reduces the overall performance of firefox. Is there another way to work around this problem, not to mention that disabling hardware acceleration?

    Note: The only 2 things I have tried have been reset firefox and a new installation of firefox. I don't want to lose my data of the addon and the custom settings of firefox, because it takes too much time for me to put them back where they are now.

    I'm also pretty computer savvy, if you can get quite technical with me. If I don't understand something, I ask.


  • Immidiate crash of Flash, not able to disable hardware acceleration. Solved!

    Video/content Flash crashes instantly, so it does not right click and enter the settings to disable hardware acceleration. This issue has not been resolved for more than 2 years in the other forum posts, but I finally did. You will need to temporarily DISABLE your recording and playback devices in the sound menu of the windows. This will allow you to read flash content (it me helped), just enough to disable the accelertion material. I'm surprised Mozilla has survived despite being unable to debug their own software - no respect to the announcement of customers their time.

    Flash is developed by Adobe, Mozilla No. Although the good news is that Firefox creates their own flash player that should be in a near-future version of Firefox.

  • Disable hardware acceleration in desktop 9

    For a document, I'm testing the effects of hardware acceleration in the hypervisors, one of those being 9 Workstation.

    However, when I go in my virtual machine (Ubuntu 12.04) settings, I can choose some modes: Auto Mode, Intel VT-x/AMD-V,...

    and 3 additional options: disable acceleration for binary translation, virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR and CPU virtualization performance counters.

    If I can do my tests very well with hardware acceleration using Intel VT-X/AMD-V mode.

    However there is no way of setting/direct to completely disable hardware acceleration (I said there is a framework also in the retail version).

    If I choose the automatic mode, hardware acceleration is disabled?

    If this is not the case, how can I completely disable hardware acceleration in my free version?

    If it is possible to run your virtual machine without material assistance to the vvirtualization, you can select "binary translation" under privileged execution mode.  Virtual machines that can be performed with binary translation include 32-bit VMs on Intel hardware and most of the VMs (32-bit or 64-bit) on AMD hardware.  Check the line vmware.log file that indicates "HV settings:...» "It will tell you if hardware or software is used for the instruction and MMU virtualization virtualization.  If she says 'dynamic' on Intel hardware, it means that software will be used as long as the customer stays in 32-bit mode, but the material will be used as soon as the client passes in long mode.

    In general, you should find that the hardware MMU virtualization impacts are much more important than the effects of the support material for the execution of the instructions.  To select hardware MMU virtualization, set the preferred mode of VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.

    Hello

    You can disable it through your browser settings.

    Firefox - tools > Options > general tab > uncheck 'Use HWA when available'

    IE - tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Check "Software use made instead of GPU rendering.

    Chrome - go to the address bar, and then type chrome://flags > press enter and it will take you to a page like this. Scroll down the page until you find "compositing GPU on all pages. Select the option "default" and change it to "Disabled":

  • I can not disable hardware acceleration, any help?

    I use a computer of windows 7 with IE 8 browser. I had a problem with youtube recently. There was a black box where the player should have been. It is the first time that this has happened so I uninstalled and reinstalled the flash player but he remained insensible. I checked the Internet and the website. So I googled to see what I could learn on this subject and tried a few methods (does not work). Then I fell on the people of problem had with black boxes with hardware acceleration. Only problem is when I try to click on the box, it does not. I also tried to use the TAB and keys arrow yet still no response. The only site that this problem is in at this moment is youtube so it could still be them messing around with things. Literally no audio, no video not even game bar can be seen nor touched. Any response is good thank you.

    Hey, glad that worked. YouTube is now having major issues as you may have read since I posted. There is nothing wrong with your computer or Flash Player. Here's what many users are doing in addition to empty the cache, history etc.

    They are using https rather than http. So try it. And here is one that you can check to see if it works. If so, use the https protocol to answer google/youtube.
