disable direct draw acceleration(hardware acceleration) for HD4400 and Win 8.0

[DZou2]

I tried to play an old game but it get very laggy and I learned that I need to disable direct draw acceleration in order to play it... I tried many way that I search on the internet but still doesn't work... Is it possible to disable direct draw acceleration on a HD4400 and in Win 8.0?

Windows 8.0 does not have an option to disable direct draw acceleration.

I have found this link for possible help on this matter:
