Disable graphics acceleration to prevent blank screen

[sk0rpi0n]

Hi all,
I noticed that with the latest versions (latest is 2.6.55 today) I'm encountering more and more often the "blank empty screen" problem on many setups (see this post: viewtopic.php?t=2016).
Like said in the post, it can be solved upgrading the graphics drivers (in many cases are Intel Graphics) BUT the problem is that not always is possible to upgrade the drivers due to Intel or PC manufacturer limitations.
Since the problem is obviously due to the new graphis acceleration support added with the latest versions (I suppose), I wonder if is it possible to disable graphics acceleration to prevent this issue (i.e. editing some .ini file).
Thank you!

Try setting

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DisableHWAcceleration

to 0

(Untested)

Hi,
thank you; just for information: under the "Avalon.Graphics" key I have nothing, so I have to add a value, right? (see the screenshot)
Another 3 questions:

1) The value should be set to "0" or "1" (if it is "DisableHWAcceleration" I think it SHOULD be set to "1")
2) What king of value should I add? It's ok a DWORD 32?
3) Is this valid only for Cobian Reflector or is a general setting?

Thank you!

Yes sorry, it should be 1. And add thevalue to the registry.

And this is a general setting for any program using WPF.
