Possible to detect prohibited graphics hardware acceleration
I read in a lot of places that disabling the graphics hardware acceleration
might be forbidden with Windows Vista. I also have a computer/graphics card like this: the slider/option in "Troubleshooting" is missing and it says changing this setting is forbidden by the driver. My question: How can I detect programmatically that disabling the hardware acceleration is prohibited? This is useful for hiding the respective option in our software in this case. Thank you in advance Ulrich |

Hi Ulrich,
You might try posting again in Microsoft.public.development.device.drivers - those folks tend to be more experienced in questions like this. "UlrichK" wrote in message ...
