Abaqus double buffering

I'm trying to view the Abaqus CAE, however it flickers a lot. I've been suggested to turn off double buffering. I've found two ways this might be doable:

1) In the command line of the CAE window type the command
session.graphicsOptions.setValues(doublebuffering=Off)
However, I don't seem to be able to type in the command line

2) Under view-> graphics options -> hardware, toggle double buffering (https://classes.engineering.wustl.edu/2009/spring/mase5513/abaqus/docs/v6.6/books/usi/default.htm?startat=pt01ch07s02.html)

however, the only two options I see listed are: use display lists and anti-aliasing lines.

How can I turn off double buffering to stop the flickering of my screen?
