Hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by the video card driver

When you go to the games (hearts, spider solitaire, etc.). I get the above message.  I also have the message that my update from microsoft is not set to install driver downloads and when I go into the Device Manager and the chipset intel I can't change the acceleration.  I have a compaq presario CQ50.  I installed the new intelchipsets.

Hello

Check with your system and Intel to support for parameters and the ability of hardware acceleration.
The adapter or the video card must support hardware acceleration AND if so appropriate drivers must
must be installed.

IF your graphics (video device) enables hardware acceleration.

1. choose Start > Control Panel.
2. double-click on customization, and then select display settings.
3. click on advanced settings.
4. click on change settings on the Troubleshooting tab.
5. move the cursor to Enable hardware acceleration
6. click on apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.
7. click OK to close the display properties dialog box.
8 restart Windows.

Intel - downloads - if the embedded video hardware acceleration is not supported.

  • HP Pavilion 500-267C: hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card driver.

    I had to reinstall Windows, then reinstall the drivers.  Fortunately, I had saved drivers in the system with the magic of the pilot, it was simple to just restore. However, when I try to start a Windows game, I get this error message:

    Hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Make sure that you install the latest video card driver and that hardware acceleration is turned on.

    I checked, and hardware acceleration is enabled, which leaves wondering what the problem is. In Device Manager, by looking at the audio, video and game controllers, I see only an audio driver. I came to HP site, looking for the right video driver, but I don't know what to download.  My computer does not have a separate graphics card (more pity). It is integrated into the motherboard.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

  • Error: "Hardware accelerator is disabled or not supported by your video make sure card driver you that you have the latest video card driver installed and the accelerator is running.

    Original title: Solitaire stop working right after the update to download

    This slowed the game.  I checked the video card is correct, and hardware accelerator says it's working properly.  This started after I downloaded two optional updates, one of them KB968930.  I uninstalled both of them and tried to restore the system with no result. the rest of the message is "Hardware accelerator is disabled rooms or not supported by your video make sure card driver that you install the latest video card driver and the accelerator is turned on."  I checked these things.

    Thanks for the help.  I had fixed to date through the tool and the info of the performance.  Find where it says new hardware installed, click on repair, I did and it worked.  I don't know what caused the problem, but my game index had fallen to 1 and came back up to 3.3.  Thanks for the help.

  • Hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your viceo adapter driver

    How can ensure me that I have installed the latest video card driver & that hardware acceleration is turned on?

    Vic.Dawson,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    Do you know what brand and model of video card you have?  You can find by going to
    Starting system, computer, properties, hardware, Device Manager
    Expand graphics cards
    Find the name of your video card is, and then go to the manufacturer website and download the latest driver for this video card.  Make sure you get one that matches your version of Vista.

    Most video cards have some type of control panel of their own which are accessible by right-clicking anywhere on the desktop.  But without knowing what you have the video card, we cannot really talk about hardware acceleration.  If you right-click on the desktop and you see something that corresponds to the brand of your video card, then go for it.  Other wise, right click on your desktop and properties, settings, then advanced.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you need more help.

  • Hardware acceleration is not enabled on my video card driver when playing Freecell

    Original title: "Hardware Acceleration"

    Ladies and gentlemen,

    I just clean installed Win 7 to replace Vista on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 (bought in 2008), and it went smoothly.

    However, when I tried the game "Freecell", I got the message that hardware acceleration is not enabled on my video card driver.

    How to achieve this please?

    (Device Manager displays the graphics card to be a standard VGA graphics card and the driver is supposed to be later)

    With thanks a lot

    Hello

    As the indicated error hardware acceleration must be supported by the video card
    and the drivers used. Check with Dell for the updated drivers, as well as the manufacturer of the device for
    the video device for the even more recent drivers. Do not assume because the Device Manager displays the
    present drivers as later that they are really - see how to upgrade the drivers below.

    ========================

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (updated video driver manually.)

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Video card driver and "hardware acceleration".

    My monitor is constantly go dark and return a little later; image on and off, on and off the power and in and left and so on and so forth. Quite annoying because I can barely use my PC. It's like working with a strobe light!

    Yesterday I received the message informing me that "hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by the video driver...; to ensure that [I] have the driver of the last installed graphics card and that hardware acceleration is turned on."  Accordingly, I downloaded and installed the latest update from my PC video card driver.  But I don't know, could not find an explanation of what the "hardware acceleration" is; and I have not the slightest idea of what, precisely, do I "Enable hardware acceleration" option or whatever this thing can be.

    Everyone out there can translate this message in clear and simple English and explain in simple terms how can I comply with these instructions?

    Any suggestions, comments, advice, instructions, tips, advise or advice, you can provide to help me my ignorance on the matter, will certainly be very popular.

    Thank you

    ALV

    If your monitor goes and out looks like it might be broken or maybe a bad connection.

    If the problem just started to happen yesterday, what happened with the system yesterday?  Do you have a few Windows updates that may have included an update of the video driver - never a good thing for the driver updated from Microsoft.

    Some graphics card have / have a kind of hardware acceleration settings and others do not.

    You can check in an average point round by right click on your desktop, customize, change the display settings, display, advanced settings, on the advanced settings screen click on troubleshooting.

    Of the Panel, the path would be:

    Control Panel-> display-> Change-> avancΘs-> troubleshooting display settings

    If the change settings button is dimmed, you cannot set the acceleration:

    The change settings button could also be grayed out if you have the wrong driver installed.

    If you pouvez change the settings of the screen will look like this:

    If the cursor is completely to the left (none) hardware acceleration is possible, but disabled/turned off so you can make an adjustment here (you may need to experiment with settings).

    If you are unable to understand, you need to tell us what you have.

    Follow these steps so that we can see what you have:

    Click on the button/ORB start in the lower left corner of your screen. Or, press the button of your keyboard Windows logo.

    In the type box:

    Msinfo32

    Select / click msinfo32.exe and the system information dialog box opens.

    Click System summary, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) feedback here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    Hello

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: make sure the game is compatible with your computer.

    Method 2: update the video card driver and check if that helps.

    Update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    If both methods fail, you will then need to get a new video card.

    The integrated graphics card works again once I remove the location PCIe video card. The integrated graphics card does not work while the video card is connected.
