Turn off hardware acceleration to resolve failures and defects of graphics.

A few weeks ago Thunderbird updated itself, and the life of my email went to hell. The continuous black screen. Often he was missing all the icons on e-mail records. I had often to minimize and reopen Thunderbird to see anything. I kill then restarting it maybe 8 times a day when he hooked completely. He crashed himself and sent error reports, perhaps 20 times a day. Absolutely horrible.

Finally, I found this article, which explains how to disable hardware acceleration:

http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-hardware-acceleration-GPU-rendering-in-Mozilla-Firefox-4-0-to-fix-font-problem/

It worked. Apparently in one of the recent updates, enabled Thunderbird when hardware acceleration for my system, he had to be turned off. (I vaguely remember turning it off before.)

In addition, there are a simple switch off in the Options.

"Tools" > "Options" > "Advanced" > "Général" tab
or
'Icon menu' > 'Options' > 'Options' > "Advanced" > "Général" tab

To turn off:
Uncheck the "use hardware acceleration when available.
Click on 'OK '.

    Hello

    Method 1: In order to troubleshoot mouse flickering issue, I would say you run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter and check if it solves the problem:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2: update the driver graphics card and the mice and other pointing device and then check if the problem persists or you are able to adjust the hardware acceleration.

  • The menus are unusable, even to turn off hardware acceleration to fix menus

    I'm using Firefox under awesome on Ubuntu 13.04 on a MacBook Pro of the retina. Unfortunately, the menus are completely unusable. If I try to open the 'Tools' menu, for example, a small floating window appears which is barely big enough to show and down the scroll buttons, but no other text.

    This problem has occurred on and off for many years. The recommended solution is usually to disable hardware acceleration... via a specific menu. Unfortunately, this does not work for me, since I can't navigate the menus. I looked into: config to see if there was an obvious option, but didn't fine anything.

    I have a screenshot of what the menus look like, but unfortunately do not know how to fix it.

    For unrelated reasons, I reinstalled ubuntu. I could try Firefox again, and the problem disappeared! Time to move from Chrome to Firefox! Unfortunately, I do not know what is specifically modified to correct the problem.

  • Need help to turn off hardware acceleration Flash 10.1!

    Okay, that's the situation. I have a older laptop with a faulty graphics card. As this machine is used only for the work of the College and the occasional websurfing, such as youtube, it wasn't a problem. Until you released this version of Flash Player.

    As with almost anything ask for hardware acceleration, when it begins the whole macine freezes. No BSOD, actually lock up can't do anything until I have remove the gel battery. So I need a way to disable hardware acceleration without going through a flash page.

    I must say, I find the fact it runs automatically enabled, without asking the user if it is one) wanted to b) useful on the machine in a matter of great concern. And I wonder how many other users of laptop capable of acceleration no HW are that their laptops do not work all of a sudden... Please can you make this an optional feature in the future versions, as you do with recording files on the hard disk, for example?

    If you go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ - is she also locked up?  Otherwise, right-click on the Flash object, and then change the settings.

    I'll go the Mac of the victory, I can turn off my Adobe products in Win and turn them in Mac?

    Lars-Olof

    It depends on what products are - can tell you which?  If they are products of creative cloud then Yes, you can use either platform (or both) for a subscription to creative cloud.  If they are produced Creative Suite, so it becomes less likely.  If they are produced CS6, you can request a one time platform swap.

  • How to turn off the flash on a 600ex and still use it to control unit main radio send?

    I have several 600 EX - RT flashes.  Currently, I don't have a ST-E3-RT.  I thought that I read somewhere that you can turn off the flash in one of the of the 600EX and still have it control others.  I would like to be able do this by using a 600EX in my claw with the Flash disabled in Radio mode, controlling the other 600 EX flashes.

    Is this possible to do?  If so what are the steps in specific menus or what is the specific manual page, I need to go to in order to know how to turn the flash on the master to the wide and still, it works like the sending unit for the other 600 in radio mode.

    Thank you

    Jason

    Menu of your camera has a menu option for flash (the specific wording depending on the camera model).

    Enter this menu and tell him to 'disable' the flash.  This will allow the flash to do everything he does (for example the focus-assist beam will work, the radio will work, etc... but he fires the flash to take pictures.)
