My graphics card sucks (Radeon x300. Yeah, I know....) and I want to switch from OpenGL rendering to Hardware or Software rendering, but I don't know where to go to change it. So how do I do it?

It depends, normally if your going to run a game, program in Opengl you'd set it to Opengl, so what are you going to be using? So I know what your using it for.

No, it's different than a graphics setting on a game, it's completely switching over from redering graphics on the GPU to either the CPU or my secondary hard drive.

Alright like lets say your playing a game and you want to use opengl, right click on the icon of the game and on the target area add -opengl.

I bought Guitar Hero 3 for PC yesterday and it was pretty laggy so I tried turning all the graphics setting down and tried changing the delay, but it's still shitty because when a bunch of notes show up, it studders. So that's what I need it for. And I can't change it in-game because the graphics setting are really elementary on it. I can only change the resolution and 2 other things that don't really matter.
