Hi folks !

YOu know when you start XWom / Wom for the first time, it is asking you which you want to use hardware or software acceleration. Because of the circumstances i want to switch, but i have no idea how to.

I have tried cleaning the 2 registry entries from xwom, i have tried reinstalling java, reinstalled xwom but i cant seem to be able to get there anymore.

Maybe you have got an idea?

many thanks in advance!

1.) Go to your (X)Wom directory/folder and change wom.old to wom.exe ( Windows will tell you that the file may become unusable and if you want to continue, click Yes.)
2.) Open wom.exe (not xwom) In the "Direct connect URL:" text box type "redetect" (Without the qotes)
3.) Click Go
4.) Above type in your username and password
From there you'll be promoted to choose between Hardware or Software accelerated drivers, choose the one you desire.
5.) Close the "select a server" window and open XWom. (Xwom will automatily rename wom.exe to wom.old for you )
6.) You're all done ! ;)
