Go to your user folder. Open Library/Preferences . Scroll down to “com.apple.Preview.plist”, right-click on it. Go to “open with”. If you have the developer tools, “Property List Editor” will show up and that’s the one you should choose. Otherwise select “Other…” and search for “TextEdit.app” in the file selector. In your editor search for “PVDebugImageForceCPUMode” and “PVDebugImageUseQuartzCore” and play around with both values (they are 0 / 1) by default and should probably be (1 / 0) on a non-accelerated machine. If you can’t find “com.apple.Preview.plist” in the user folder, run Preview and change some Preferences inside the app to make OSX write that file into your user folder.
