“Get the machine that goes ping” or how to fix the “Please enableGPUAcceleration = true on your Silverlight plugin page.”
What in the heck do you do to fix the “enableGPUAcceleration=true on your Silverlight plugin page.” Then you go to the ASPX or the HTML page and you see that both have the line:
<param name="enableGPUAcceleration" value="true" />
So WTF.
Now you might be frustrated, you search the web, and unless you get the video by Pete Brown, you will not get the solution:
If you have been working with Silverlight you would think that you wouldn’t need to view an Introduction to Silverlight, especially a video that shows you how to use the basic template for Silverlight 5 3D. Geez. Really.
Well you should view it immediately. It shows you the following tip:
| Right click on the code project (for the template the one at the top) then select properties (at the bottom of the fly out menu) |  |
| Now check “Enable running application out of browser” Then click the “Out-of-Browser Settings…” |  |
| Check: ”Use GPU Acceleration” Check ”Require elevated trust when running outside the browser” |  |
Now the simple template should run.
Or you could get the machine that goes ping.
