Hi Mike, Sorry, I forgot to write that I was able to use TBB when I added those two lines [0] to prefs.js, _without_ TBB running in XP SP3 compatibility mode.

Sorry for top-posting, but otherwise I would have to wait at least 10-15 minutes for the e-mail I sent the list (~1 minute ago) to reach my in-box, and I'm ready for bed . . . ________________________________ From: Mike Perry <mikepe...@torproject.org> To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org Sent: Monday, June 17, 2013 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [tor-talk] Tor Browser Bundle 3.0alpha1 test builds Andreas Krey: > On Fri, 14 Jun 2013 19:39:31 +0000, Mike Perry wrote: > ... > > Please try these out, test them, and give us feedback!

If 'Compatibility Mode' works, While in compatibility mode, can you try setting one or both of these to 'true' in about:config: gfx.direct2d.disabled layers.acceleration.disabled Then try without XP compatibility mode, and see if one or both allow you to run without crashes? It also looks like Mozilla hit a similar bug some years ago, and maintains a blacklist of bad D2D drivers to disable D2D for: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595364 I wonder if we somehow didn't pick up their D2D driver blacklist in this build... -- Mike Perry _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
