• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF rendering falls back to software if NetMeeting is open!!

  If Netmeeting is open, rendering in WPF falls back to software. Can be figured out by using perforator. Any ideas I haven't used NetMeeting in quite a while, but it had a feature where it disabled all video acceleration in order to speed up the desktop sharing features. This made desktop sharing much faster and in that situation video acceleration didn't really make sense anyway. I don't recall if there was ...Show All

Is this a Visual Studio 2005...problem…or do I need to set some other proper ...Show All
