Re: How do I turn off write combining programatically?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

We have seen this error when the graphics system is under load, it seems to
me to be a thread locking/sync issue within the GDI+ subsystem. We dont use
anything like CreateGraphics etc, just a single graphics object/handle on a
bitmap. The only thing we can do is catch the error and drop the paint
request and reissue the request which seems to work.
