Annoying "Enable hardware acceleration" message box

HI, guys, I am delivering some Captivate SWFs through a PDF and everytime i launch the swf from inside the PDF, i get a popup with "Adobe Flash Player Settings" Display" and "Enable hardware acceleration" is checked. how do i turn off the annoying popup?

Hi,
I'm not sure why this is happening.  While you might find someone here that knows the answer to this, I think your best bet would be to repost this question over on the Captivate forums.
Thanks,
Chris

  • Does the "Enable hardware acceleration" check box work in Google Chrome?

    There have been some recent changes to the Flash Player "Enable hardware acceleration" tab in the settings dialog on Google Chrome.  This tab is referenced in the How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration? FAQ.
    You may have noticed that this tab was recently removed but is now present once again.  We wanted to let you know that our intention for this setting on Chrome is to allow you to toggle hardware video decoding on and off.  However, as of the current version of Flash Player (11.7.700.225) this is currently not enabled.  While the check box will allow you to check and uncheck the box, nothing is actually occurring behind the scenes.  We expect to correct this behavior in a upcoming release and will update this FAQ once completed.

    No it's not. Gallium is a new architecture for writing drivers, and a bit more than that. Only softpipe and llvmpipe are software renderers, the others are hardware. If easyonthev is now seeing llvmpipe where he saw RV before, it indeed means he lost hardware rendering. I don't have experience with radeon cards though, so I don't know where to look for solutions. According to the log, everything loaded fine.
    easyonthev, which graphic card exactly do you have? And are you using KMS or not?

  • How do I enable hardware acceleration in an air exe?

    I have a Stage3d game compiled as a windows bundle (exe) using adt -target bundle. Users download it from Steam and have no idea it's even running Adobe AIR.
    The problem is that if the user has manually disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox, it will also be disabled in my game. In these cases, context3d.driverInfo will say "Hw_disabled=userDisabled". If they open Firefox, right-click on a flash animation, open the security settings box and check "enable hardware acceleration", it will start working on my Adobe AIR game too. (note this isn't on all systems - I can't recreate the problem myself)
    I would love to pop open the display tab of the security panel for them right in my game:
    Security.showSettings(Security.DISPLAY);
    But that command doesn't work in AIR, it only works in browser plugins.
    Explaining to users how to enable hardware acceleration in FF, IE, Safari etc seems like a terrible, confusing solution.
    Any better ideas?
    (also, I think this might be a bug? can anyone point me to documentation saying firefox & air should share settings like this? I went to report it but the bug tracker's down as usual: http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/)

    I found the correct/new link for the bugbase: https://bugbase.adobe.com
    and posted this issue as bug 3843535:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3843535
    It seems to be an unfortunately common problem which I would love to find a workaround for if anyone has any ideas. This would be easier if I could recreate it myself...

  • Enabled hardware acceleration in version 33+ causing everything to render in solid black on Intel HD3000 (on both 2 years old and latest drivers).

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing troubles with Firefox versions 33+. Enabling hardware acceleration makes everything render in solid black, even on clean profile, even the "Choose profile" and "Firefox already running" dialogs.
    Problem started when developers started to work on MSE.
    Also the font rendering is doing wild things - some characters like 'l' (small L), 'i' and '-' at certain font sizes are not rendered at all and some characters like '=' are rendered partially like '-'. Of course with hardware acceleration disabled.
    This is pretty annoying, because it appears in places I use a lot like address bar and youtube HTML5 player, leading to those render failures:
    'Exit full screen' renders as 'Ex t fu screen'
    or
    'https://www.google.com/search?q=mozilla+firefox&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-nightly&channel=fflb' renders as 'https://www.google.com/search?q-mozilla+firefox&ie-utf 8&oe=utf 8&aq-t&rls-org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client-firefox nightly&channel-fflb'
    Is there anything I can do about it?
    I've tried to update graphic drivers through my laptop manufacturer official sources and through intel's website, but neither did help.
    Thanks.

    I had the same thing with a nvidia gpu (660GTX) and ff nightly 33 .... every thing had big black pulsing borders like the css animations code had gone mental and the whole screen was flickery .. and all the text was clipping when scrolling creating trails .. I went into the gpu settings disabled acceleration and it worked perfectly after that so I can confirm that 3D accellerations has issue in 33.

  • How to enable hardware acceleration in desktop Adobe AIR app

    Hello,
    As the author of this post How do I enable hardware acceleration in an air exe? , I am trying to enable hardware acceleration inside my AIR application
    If the user has disabled hardware acceleration in his flash player's settings, context3d.driverInfo will say "Hw_disabled=userDisabled"
    His only way to re-enable it is to open Internet Explorer or Firefox and right click on a flash content, then check "Enable hardware acceleration"
    I (we) would like to be allowed to re-enable it directly inside the AIR app (via actionscript code) and not telling the user to open a browser and check some random checkboxes (cause you know it's not very user-friendly...)
    A bug has been opened here Bug#3843535 - Disabling Hardware Acceleration in IE flash plugin disables it in AIR EXEs and is marked as fixed but nothing is fixed : there's still no way to enable hardware acceleration in desktop AIR application
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I pushed to get this bug fixed and was under the impression that we addressed this back in v16.  Can you share a sample app so I can have our team take a look?

  • How to Enable Hardware Acceleration in FireFox 31

    Please advise how to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31. All my graphics and other hardware/software is current and updated. I've also paired my Bookmark Toolbar down to under 20 entries.
    FireFox is so sluggish that just a few open tabs cause the pausing "wheel of doom" every time I try to enter information or go to another part of the website. Sometimes the pauses are 5-10 seconds, sometimes a minute or more.
    I do not have this issue on the other browsers that I use.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • Any wiki about enabling hardware acceleration on openssl?

    Is there any wiki about how to enable hardware acceleration on openssl?
    or does it just automatically happen?

    Archwiki, or in general?  The answer to either would be why do you want us to do your googling for you?  I did a quick search for each option and took all of 5 seconds to have both answers.  (edit: make that all three answers including whether it is "automatic").

  • Enabling hardware acceleration distorts website text in firefox 6

    When using Aurora ver. 6.0a2 (2011-05-29) I have to disable hardware acceleration. When this setting is enabled, everything visible with the program (this includes the entire GUI, websites, all text & images) is distorted. It's not that you can't see the images or read the text at all, it just appears to not be rendered correctly. When acceleration is disabled, everything is returned to it's optimal viewability (for lack of a better term).
    My current relevent system specs are:
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (with all updates applied)
    Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6950
    Video Card Driver: Catalyst ver. 11.5
    Firefox Version: Aurora ver. 6.0a2 (2011-05-29)
    Also of note, when using the official Firefox release (ver. 4.0.1), I do not have this problem. If you need any more information, I will be happy to provide it.

    I have this problem with yahoo mail and Firefox 6 (no such problem with Firefox 5.0.1 and below). No other websites show this issue. When I disable hardware acceleration yahoo mail renders fine but with hardware acceleration it looks washed out in parts and patches.

  • Finaly. How to enable hardware acceleration for X-

    After much discussion on this form and with my friends, I've finally cracked hardware acceleration for X-FI on Vista. It works by using Alchemy on a large scale and gives acceleration for everything you listen to. The breakthrough finally came through thanx to help and info I received from alexs3ds on this thread?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=645?It started as an emulation concept discussion and evolved in to this. It gives all your 3D audio effects and EAX in games without game by game transmutation and I have noticed a large quality and volume enhancement in normal music and film audio because even that is now accelerated. Here's a step by step guide on how to do it.[color="#ff0033">?[color="#3366ff">Download Alchemy and install. Get it here .[color="#3366ff">http://preview.creativelabs.com/alchemy/default.aspx[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Open a?window in explorer and go to [color="#3333ff">Windows\System32.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Locate the file dsound.dll and right click on it then select properties.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Click the security tab then click advanced.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">In the advanced security panel?that opens up, click the owner tab then edit.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Use this to set your user account name as owner.

It's not known if every game will work with EAX or 3Dsound with this. To my knowledge?all, if not?most do.You can still edit and add game settings to the dsound.ini file.

Perhaps people who have it running on other versions of Vista could post this info and help put together a list. ?

    It does work, however I discovered more?important conditions. You MUST have your audio card in game mode BEFORE you do this. The reason is that the alchemy file passes the audio to OpenAL in game mode only. IF YOU TRY TO RUN GAMES IN ANY OTHER MODE YOUR SYSTEM WILL CRASH WITH BSD. IF YOU TRY TO RUN MEDIA PLAYER IT WILL HANG. IF YOU RUN DIRECTX DIAGNOSTIC YOUR SYSTEM WILL CRASH WITH BSD. YOUR?CARD MUST BE IN GAME MODE. IF YOU TRY TO CHANGE TO GAME MODE AFTER THE SWITCH, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AS THE AUDIO PANEL WON'T LOAD. DO IT BEFORE YOU SWITCH. As for windows replacing files after reboot, that aint happening to me. I've looked everywhere and can't find any sign of?were replacement files would come form either. Not that I'm saying it isn't happening, Vista is supposed to have a security system that stops you from replacing core system files. It just ain't happening in my system. However, I do have various system hacks in place and one of them may be stopping this. Need to look in to this. Fact:- I'm sitting with this in system now ( got no intentions of going back cause the audio's great ). I've tested 0 up-to date games and all give EAX etc. Without transmutation. Audio sounds amazing compared to what it was before and video audio finely plays in sync ( hurray). Maybay I should add a warning to this mod that you must only try it if you know what you are?doing.BTW in case this has anything to do with it, my system is :-
    Asus?am2 with nforce 4, amd am2 x2 dual core cpu, 2 gig dual channel ddr2 800, oem?SB X-FI and Vista 32 ultimate.

  • Mercury Playback Engine: software accel only for 5K Retina iMac, when would Adobe enable hardware acceleration???

    Just curious when Adobe might be updating Premiere Pro CC list of support graphics cards for hardware accelaration.
    The iMac 5K Retina has an optional upgraded AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5 graphics card.
    But this is apparently what happens in Premiere Pro CC when you start the program on an iMac Retina 5K with that graphics card: the hardware acceleration option is greyed out.

    Looking at this, it doesn't seem that the Retina MacBook Pro's NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is on the list. And the NVIDIA CUDA driver will give you nothing but heartache (a frequent source of kernel panics).
    You might want to take your question to the Adobe Premiere discussion boad to see if there are any current 'workarounds' -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere.

  • How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

    How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
    I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
    The operation system is Windows XP.
    They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
    We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash.  You are left with no video signal to the monitor.  Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
    We have tried:
    Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
    Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
    Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
    There seems to be two ways to work round this issue.  One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows.  The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
    Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
    Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC?  Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel.

    Hi.
    I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
    I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
    If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
    If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
    Thanks.

  • Enabling Hardware Accelearation in FireFox 31, plus Other Tips on Making FF 31 work faster

    FireFox 31 has been extremely sluggish on my computer. When I try to open a new tab or browser, the "wheel of doom" appears and the action pauses for 15 seconds to one minute. At the same time message will temporarily pop up that says "FireFox is not responding."
    I should add that I followed the advice on these boards, and made certain my graphics and all other software are updated; I paired down the number of Bookmark Toolbar tabs to under 20. However, the problem persists. The issue is NOT with the computer -- the other browsers are not experiencing sluggishness.
    Please provide the process for manually enabling hardware acceleration in FireFox 31, as well as any other tips not already mentioned above.

  • Disabling hardware acceleration resolved issue with Google Maps not loading in Firefox 19

    For the last few days noticed that I could no longer use Googlemaps in Firefox 19. The page would completely load then if I typed a single character into the search box for google maps it would bring up the "Still loading" text and do nothing.
    Followed a couple links on the Mozilla support page and started Firefox in safemode. Maps was speedy and worked fine in safemode. I started again without safemode and tried the simplest step to see if it would resolve the issue and disabled hardware acceleration. All of a sudden maps worked again. The strange part is when I re-enabled hardware acceleration maps continued to work (go figure, makes no sense to me).
    Just wanted to post my experience for others who may be having a similar problem.
    System is Windows XP 32bit
    Cheers.
