Changing DirectDraw Support (Windows OS Only)

The software supports DirectDraw, a standard that allows direct manipulation of
video display memory, hardware overlays, and page flipping without the
intervention of the Graphical Device Interface (GDI). This can result in
smoother animation and improvement in the performance of display-intensive
software.

However, if your machine has a software cursor or pointer shadow enabled, or if
your video driver does not support DirectDraw, you may experience a flicker in
your mouse cursor when over the title bar of the Viewer.

You can disable the software cursor or pointer shadow, load a new driver for your
video card, or you can disable DirectDraw.

To disable DirectDraw:

1

Select Tools - Options from the Explorer menu. The Options dialog box
appears.

2

Click to disable the DirectDraw check box.

3

Click OK.
