Hello,

I have a question/problem with the Adobe Flash Player configuration-file called "mms.cfg".

I want to disable hardware-acceleration.

Therefore I have created a file "mms.cfg" with the following content:

As described here, I did open the website "https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html#main_Find_Flash_Player_version_type_and_capabilities__Flash_developers_only_"

, scrolled down to the tree-example, right clicked it and opened the settings.

The dialog says, that hardware-acceleration is still being used!?

Have a look at the following screenshot:

It seems, that the configuration through "mms.cfg" doesn't work as expected.

How do I disable hardware-accelleration?

Thank you!

Tested on:

Windows 7 x64 – Flash Player 27 ActiveX

Server 2008r2 – Flash Player 27 ActiveX

Server 2016 – Build in Flash Player

    The mms.cfg setting will override any preferences in the UI, but it does not update the UI.

    No problem.  Out of curiosity, are you disabling hardware acceleration to work around a problem that we should be looking into?
