Hardware acceleration... When I try to play solitaire?

I have Windows 7, Vista, because 2 people above have. When I try to play regular Solitaire or Spider, I get the following 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. "Apparently I have the latest driver for the video card and do not have the slightest idea how to check hardware acceleration...". Thanks for any help.

Hello

Thanks for posting the query on the Microsoft Community forums. I understand that while you try to read the Spider or regular Solitaire game, you have an error message indicating that hardware acceleration is turned off or not supported by the video card driver.

This problem can be caused if hardware acceleration is disabled.

Method 1:

Follow the steps to enable hardware acceleration.

(a) click Start, type display in the search box, and then click Properties to display in the list programs.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

(c) click the settings tab and then click Advanced.

(d) in the performance tab or on the Troubleshooting tab, move the hardware acceleration all the way to the right (Full position).

(e) click OK and then click Close.

(f) If you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

Method 2:

I suggest you update the video card driver.

Follow the steps to update the video card driver.

(a) click the Start button.

(b) type devmgmt.msc in the search bar, and then click ok.

graphics card c) Expand.

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    CD have a tolerance + - and your must read on the edge outside these tolerances of discs.
    They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk. Can burn you
    a mastered CD and a DVD mastered on this computer and laptop and other computer

    1. what type of video file that you are trying to play?

    If you receive error C00D11B1 code,

    Cause one. It may be a problem with the components of security of your digital media player to play the files on your computer

    Follow the instructions in the article given below, because it can help you solve the problem

    Go to http://drmlicense.One.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp , then you will need to get the update. You need to download this patch to remove the error code and everything works again.

    Also take ownership of the files you are trying to play by right clicking on the file and taking possession.
