Yes, I do.

I contacted the World of Minecraft support team and they sent me an
email telling me how to change it from hardware to software.  This is a
copy of the email:

Thank you for contacting World of Minecraft.

To respecify the acceleration options, you can type in an option at the login screen at the Direct Connect url.

Simply select the input field that says "mc://" and type "redetect"
and press enter. It will give you a message that "GL redetection
enabled". Proceed with your login and it will give you a chance to tell
it to use software mode again.

Hi support I have a question that I cant seem to
find the answer to anyplace I look. My problem is that when I first
downloaded World of Minecraft on my old computer I got a popup when I first started World of Minecraft
and that was do you want to use Hardware 3D or Software 3D to run World of Minecraft
and I choose Software 3D then I got a new computer and chose Hardware 3D
and I tested it for a little bit but I realized that it was much slower
than Software 3D and wanted to change back but I cant seem to figure
out how to do that I tried deleting it from appdata and the downloaded
folder but that wouldn\'t work then I tried to see if it would give me
an option in the command: /client but it didn\'t and now I\'m stumped.
If you have the answer please tell me. Thank You so much, blakewy

I hoped this helped!
