What is the procedure for disabling hardware acceleration in WPF? What is it exactly? Is it a windows setting, a visual studio setting or something you alter in the code of your wpf project? Will it affect only the program you're running or will it by system-wide?

+1  A: 

That is a system wide setting, from the desktop, right click to bring up a popup menu, click on properties, and look around in there for the video settings to disable Hardware acceleration or that there may be a system tray icon for the graphics settings. This is system wide and not local.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

Note this disables ALL hardware graphics acceleration in the system, not just WPF.

It is a machine-wide registry setting. See Graphics Rendering Registry Settings in the WPF docs for the registry key and other details relating to customising WPF rendering.
