Turning 3D acceleration off and on

If you need to turn off the QuickDraw 3D acceleration (for example, to
compare accelerated performance with software-only rendering), follow
these steps:

1

Quit all applications that use QuickDraw 3D.

2

Create an empty folder on the desktop.

3

Move the file named “ATI 3D Accelerator” from the Extensions folder (inside the System

Folder) into the empty folder. This turns off 3D acceleration.

4

Restart QuickDraw 3D applications.

To turn QuickDraw 3D acceleration back on, follow these steps:

1

Quit all applications that use QuickDraw 3D.

2

Move the file named “ATI 3D Accelerator” back into the Extensions folder.

3

Restart QuickDraw 3D applications.

Removing software

If you have previously installed some or all of the software in the Apple Extras
or CD Extras folder, you can remove or deinstall the software if you do not
use it. Removing software like this will make more hard disk space available.

To remove software, follow these steps:

1

Start up your computer from the system software CD-ROM disc that came with your

computer.

For detailed steps, see “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” under
“Initializing a Hard Disk” in Chapter 9.

2

Open the Apple Extras folder on the hard disk or the CD Extras folder on the

CD-ROM disc.

3

Open the folder for the software you want to remove.

4

Double-click the Installer icon to open the Installer application.
