DirtDevil Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Does anyone know how to set hardware acceleration to full in Windows 2003 unattended?I allready tried to search the registry using tools like RegMon or RegShot. But it seems like the information on hardware acceleration is not stored in the registry. Anyone know where windows stores these values? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 u mean hardware acceleration for display adapter right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDevil Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Right... It's that Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot --> Hardware Acceleration thing. But I want to activate / set it to full unattended. So I need to know where this information is stored... registry? Could you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 No its not set at full by default in Windows Server 2003 for compatibility reasons (its a Server - get it?)I assume you both haven't tried Windows Server 2003 yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These "random numbers" do not equal my registry entries. DisableUSWC is not even included in my registry...Maybe these numbers depend on the device installed but somewhere a default value for hardware acceleration must be stored. I cannot find it :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeveL Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Is there no registry solution to this at all?Searched the forums (but it would help a lot more to findthis if this topic said "Server 2003" and not "win2003" )It seems to depend on the display adapter that is in the system?If that is the case, I guess it is impossible to turn the hardwareacceleration up to full with a registry tweak? Hmmmm, OK thenthe next question is - what command or what exe in system32will bring up the screen:Right click Desktop then...Properties > Settings [tab] > Advanced [button] > Troubleshoot [tab]If I can find which exe to run, or a function in a DLL or something,from a command line to at least bring up the "Troubleshoot" screen,I can write an AutoIt script then and hey, I will give it away here, letssolve this stupid problem once and for all!

shieldsa Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 ok, on my Server 2003 machine with default acceleration the reg entry dword value was 4.Found as above but in {B1A73194-13C4-49F4-A275...} as Acceleration.LevelChanging the slider on the props/settings tab change the dword value to 0.

SiMoNsAyS Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 yes, there's a registry solution and yes, is machine dependant.now the good news, try http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enh...mize-Tool.shtmlcreate an unattended file (.sif) for that program, more info on program's readme.
