Managing Your Switch Using the Remote Console Switch Software AMP : Changing DirectDraw Support (Windows Operating Systems Only)

Changing DirectDraw Support (Windows Operating Systems Only)
The Remote Console Switch Software supports DirectDraw, a standard that allows direct manipulation of video display memory, hardware overlays, and page flipping without the intervention of the Graphical Device Interface (GDI). This can result in smoother animation and improvement in the performance of display-intensive software.
However, if your machine has a software cursor or pointer shadow enabled, or if your video driver does not support DirectDraw, you may experience a flicker in your mouse cursor when over the title bar of the Viewer.
You can disable the software cursor or pointer shadow, load a new driver for your video card, or you can disable DirectDraw.
