Fix Graphics Corruption in MS Live

MessengerI have recently had problems with graphics corruption within Live

Messenger, the computer concerned is running Vista x86 and has SISMirage 3 graphics.

The solution I found is to disable graphic acceleration, but as usual

microsoft make us jump through hoops for this. The procedure isfound here:

Google does a fine job of translating it, however here is my version:

1: Start regedit by typing "regedit" in the start menu:

hit enter, and click continue on the warnings you receive.

2. Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows Live \ UX \HwBlockList \ 0 \ 0

this key contains details of incompatible video cards, cards thatneed graphic acceleration disabled. We are going to add our card to

the list, so that it is disabled for us too.

3. You will see that there are lots of subkeys, we are going tocreate a new one with a number that doesn't exist, in my case 106,

right click, and select New -> Key, give it the name 106

4. Click the newly created key, within that key we are going to

create new DWORD's with the following names and values:

• Flags, value 1• Options, value 1

• VendorId, see below• DeviceId, see below

5. Whilst keeping regedit open, go to device manager (right click"My Computer", click "manage", then "device manager").

Find your video card under "Display Adapters"

double click it, and go to the "details" tab, under "property" select"Hardware ID's", it should look something like this:





We are looking for our Vendor ID and Device ID, in this case 1039and 6351 respectively.

6. Go back to regedit and enter the vendor and device ids into the

DWORDS you created earlier, it should now look something like this:

6. Restart your computer, and try Live Messenger without thecorruption.

Uninstall is simple, just delete the keys you created.Posted byRobinat12:04
