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.

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

IF your graphics (video device) and driver both allow 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.

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

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.

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.

  • Hardware acceleration is not enabled on the latest drivers

    Hello
    I use Firefox 24.1.0 ESR on a Debian Jessie and hardware acceleration does not get turned on, unless I'm force to be activated via subject: config.

    I use a fairly recent version of the proprietary Nvidia drivers and it does not appear on the black list (at least it wasn't on the resources that I can find on the internet, I don't know how recent they are)

    The situation is the same on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of vanilla Mozilla's Firefox or Iceweasel in Debian. I created a new profile, but it has not changed the situation. I added the new profile below troubleshooting details.

    Someone knows

    • If this version of the Nvidia driver is blacklisted or not,
    • where can I access the updated black list
    • There is another problem that a blacklist causes this problem?

    Thank you.

    OK, I'm an asshole. Looks like hardware acceleration is not enabled by default on Linux yet. I would strees that it's a bit strange to put a box ticked in the preferences that claims it will activate the hardware if possible acceleration, but then don't even try so that she because she is disabled by default.

  • How should I address slow games due to hardware acceleration / video card driver incompatibility?

    When I connect play games such as Spades and backgammon, it is very slow, I don't enjoy the experience.  before starting the game, I get the following message: "hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by the video card driver".  I desperately need help to solve this problem!

    Hi Julenile,

    Thanks for the post.   It seems that you have a problem with the settings of graphics card. Please answer the following questions, it will help us in the right direction.

    Do you know what brand and model of video card you have?

    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 corresponds to your version of Windows 7.

    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.

    Should the adapter or the video card supports hardware acceleration and if the appropriate drivers must be installed.   If your graphics (video device) enables hardware acceleration, you can read the following steps to enable hardware acceleration.

    a. Click Start, click Control Panel.

    b. double-click personalization and select display settings.

    c. click on Advanced settings.

    d. click change settings on the Troubleshooting tab.

    e. move the Hardware Acceleration slider to Activate.

    f. click apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.

    g. click OK to close the display properties dialog box.

    h. restart Windows.

    Try to go to the site where your PC / netbook is supported.

    or you can try the Device Manager.

    Run "Devmgmt.msc".

    then search for your device. Try to upgrade to internet.

  • 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.
