Is there a way to disable DirectDraw/Direct3D acceleration? Windows XP allowed that through dxdiag but all the options to do so are greyed out in Windows 7. Same with the regular Display options of the OS. Please see this for screenshots:

Is there a way to do this through the catalyst control center?

Is there a set of older drivers that would allow me to tweak this stuff?

I just made the jump from XP finally but I am already regretting it :p
