Hardware Support Help

March 19, 2006 7:20:43 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hey everyone,

I was messing around with WindowFX on my laptop, and i turned-off the hardware support (It's the setting under "Performance Advice" section) and it says to re-enable video hardware support, i can click the button below. But, ummm... the button seems to have disappeared on me. I've clicked all-over that area and no button is there. This is odd, becase on my main PC the button has always been there. I've tried re-installing but it still has hardware support disabled, and the button isn't there. I'm running v2.12 WinFX and my video card is an ATi Radeon X600 256MB PCI-e video card.

- Any help is appriciated, and thanks!

Yeah, i mentioned aboove - i tried re-installing. I don't know why it still isn't showing up Maybe if there was some kind of config file to edit that turns hardware support on, that would work.

I just ran WindowFx...I don't have an option anywhere to turn off hardware support - is that just a laptop thing?

Are you using the full (paid) version of WinFX?

Since when has v2.89 been out? (I know that WFX v3 beta is out)... on the download page it still says v2.12 is the most recent

Never the less, I have the same version on both my PC's and the Enable / Disable hardware support button is showing up on my Desktop PC, but it's not showing up on my notebook. The thing that makes me angry, is that hardware support was ON, and when i pressed the button to turn it OFF by mistake, i restarted and now it's not showing me the button. After you turn it off does't the button stay there so you can re-enabled it?

Oh, and Sir Bichur, on your "Performance Advice" page, what does it say?
