Maximized window causes big slow down in MDI App

You don't have to apologize SThomas, cause you were right. You CAN use the renderer string to determine software rendering. As you say, if it says something with Microsoft you have software rendering. That is true.

But the problem with your technique was that it only detects problems during startup, not sudden software fallbacks during runtime.

ah, thanks bob, but i'm afraid that what you say is only an attempt at justifying my heinous lies. i've administered myself twenty cane lashings so that in the future i'll better understand the usage of the glGetString() function and its associated parameters.
