On some systems that use graphics hardware acceleration for video playback
This is often possible to disable the graphics hardware acceleration. There
are two ways to disable graphics hardware acceleration:
1. Disable graphics hardware acceleration globally for all applications using
the Control Panel "System" applet. Go to the "Performance"
tab and click the "Graphics" button under "Advanced settings...".
Set the "Hardware acceleration"
slider to None and hit OK. You may need to restart Windows to have this change
apply.
2. Disable graphics hardware acceleration for a particular application. For
example, in RealPlayer G2 select Options/Preferences from the RealPlayer menu.
Go to the "Performance" tab and disable (uncheck) the "Use optimized
video display" setting. You may need to stop and restart any movie being
played to have the change take effect.
