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.
Thank you

  • 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?

    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.

    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.

    Hello

    I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the computer to change the BIOS settings and check if it is has updated the BIOS.

    Important: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Scanner does not support presets with Windows 7 driver

    A Dell with Vista, Brother MFC 8500 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    A new Dell with Windows 7 (64-bit) and even Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard even Brother MFC 8500

    When I try to create a PDF file in Acrobat using the scanner he says that scan does not support the predefined settings.

    Brother does not offer a driver for this MFC 8500 which is a workaholic that I love. Brother, said that the driver comes standard with Windows 7.

    Whenever I want to create a PDF file that I have to use the custom page size and set, printer, IPR every time. I really want to configure predefined settings as I used with Vista so I can't go through all this pain to choose the details (each time) I will use 9 times out of 10.

    Someone has an answer for this? Is this a setting?

    Thanks a lot if you have the answer.

    Hello

    I suggest that you update the video card drivers on the manufacturer's Web site.

    Reference:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    The other thing that you can try in order to solve the problem would be to update the driver of motherboard chipset and also perform a BIOS (Basic Input Output System) update specifically the AGPmini.

    Accellerated Graphics Port pilot within The Manager(System Devices) unit install the update from the motherboard on the motherboard manufacturers site. Make sure you have the correct update for your model of motherboard for most systems, without it, your video card will work in PCI Mode.

    Note:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Contact the manufacturer to update the motherboard Chipset driver
