KB334: How to: Enable GPU hardware acceleration to improve Internet Explorer web content performance

Summary

The FEATURE_GPU_RENDERING enables Internet Explorer (IE) to use a graphics processing unit (GPU) to render content. This dramatically improves performance for webpages that are rich in graphics.

By default, this feature is enabled for IE but disabled for applications hosting the WebBrowser Control. Therefore, in order to take advantage of this feature for Moxie content, GPU rendering must be enabled for Moxie by changing registry keys.

KB236: How to: Use a PowerPoint file as content in your Moxie layout

Summary

You want to use a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation as content in a Moxie layout.

Omnivex Moxie can display Microsoft PowerPoint files in a layout if you have PowerPoint installed and properly configured on your Moxie Studio and Player computers. This is accomplished by directing a Web zone to a PowerPoint PPS or PPSX file where the Web zone will then use PowerPoint to display the slide show content in your layout.
