Hi, I really need help. When I downloaded the WoM Client and started it, there was a window that said I could choose between 3D Software and 3D Hardware, I chose the hardware but now it lags too much. 
How can I change the Hardware to the Software? I've tried to reinstall the WoM Client but it won't work. 

Any ideas?

I've figured it out!!!!!!!

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 Wom on my old computer I got a popup when I first started Wom and that was do you want to use Hardware 3D or Software 3D to run Wom 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!
