"Hardware Acceleration" (GPU Rendering) is the most interesting and important feature of IE9. It was introduced to increase performance of IE but some IE users might want to disable it as the text might not look well on their screens.
If you also want to disable Hardware Acceleration feature in IE9, following trick will help you:
1. Open IE9 and click on Tools icon. Now click on "Internet Options".
2. Go to "Advanced" tab and enable "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" option.
3. Click on Apply button and restart the browser.

The bit about the "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" is greyed or can not be unchecked is annoying but found a work around for that!
Navigate to the following key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\ACCELERATED_GRAPHICS\USESWRENDER"
& DELETE : "UseSWRender"
No restarts required, just open your browser & check the advanced tab, ISSUE RESOLVED!! :D
