Hardware Acceleration

Hi Guys,

So something weird is happenning, my hardware acceleration icon is off and when I try to right click on it and go into the graphic performance option it freezes my PC. At this point I have to press escape to bring back functionality.

Does anyone know perhaps as to why this is happening?

Hi,

I assume the graphic performance window is offscreen and not visible to you.

Try this:

After you right-click on the graphic config(hardware acceleration) and select "graphic performance" from the status bar press alt+spacebr and then type in "M" to move the window then click on the left/right arrow key and move your mouse and now the window will be stuck to the mouse pointer🙂
