I have no idea what you are trying to achieve . . .

Can you give a clear detailed description of what you're trying to do . . .

The more information and detail you provide, the easier it will be for us to provide you with an answer . . .

sure.

I'm on WinXP Pro SP3.

Quite recently I noticed strange problems with video playback turning monochrome.

here's description, if it matters:
http://www.moviecodec.com/video-codecs/ ... urs-12240/

The solution appears to be reducing the hardware acceleration, that is, setting to the below middle position the parameter in

display properties\settings\advanced\troubleshooting\hardware acceleration

But now games like SWAT4 do not play.

getting to hardware acceleration menu take quite an effort, especially if you want to switch often - that's why I would like to automatize it.

As the proplem reappears soon after system reinstal and I have no patience to test each of the installed apps for causing trouble, a subroutine switching hardware aceletarion would be a real help.

It seems that nobody has tried to AHK this option yet :)

To change hardware acceleration by AHK you could just automate the dialogs that pop up. Probably you could do something like this:
Code:
; PSEUDOCODE. First, make a shortcut to Control Panel\Display
Run %Display_ShortCut%
WinWait, Display Properties
Control, TabRight, 4, SysTabControl321
Send !v
; ... you get the idea. Control the dialogs with commands and keystrokes

The final piece is maybe idiosyncratic, but it does work.

Thank you.
