I got in step 4 but cannot proceed as the possibility to change the settings cannot be selected.

does anyone know why this is and if there is anyway to change the settings of the selectable option.

If not is there another method of modification of hardware acceleration

concerning

If you receive messages on the need to increase "hardware acceleration", it's because you try to run a program/game that requires performance characteristics more that your machine has.

You will find the graphics driver that is available only on the computer manufacturer site. With that installed, if the messages yet, your computer is not running the program/game and nothing you can do will change...

  • How to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31

    Please tell us how to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31. All of my graphics and other hardware/software is current and up to date. I also paired to my toolbar to bookmark up to 20 entries less.

    FireFox is so slow that a few tabs open cause the 'wheel of doom' suspension whenever I try to enter information or go to another part of the Web site. Sometimes, the breaks are 5 to 10 seconds, sometimes a minute or more.

    I don't have this problem on other browsers I use.

  • How to enable hardware acceleration in an Adobe AIR application

    Hello

    As the author of this post How to enable hardware acceleration in an air exe? , I try to activate hardware acceleration inside my AIR application

    If the user has disabled hardware acceleration in the sound settings flash drive, context3d.driverInfo will say "Hw_disabled = userDisabled".

    The only way to re-enable is to open Internet Explorer or Firefox and right-click on a flash content, then check "enable hardware acceleration".

    I (we) would like to be able to reactivate directly inside the AIR application (via actionscript code) and not tell the user to open a browser and check some random boxes (cause you know that it is not very easy to use...)

  • Cannot change Hardware acceleration settings

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba laptop with windows vista and cannot read my desperate Housewives Games distributed by PBA games. When I try to install it it says that my hardware acceleration has failed. He told me to install direct X 9 .0c which I did and it has always come with the same message. I clicked on windows help and he told me to check my direct X and I did and he said that my direct X was very good and there is no problem with him. Windows help has also been suggested that I have change my hardware acceleration settings which I think is the problem, but my computer won't let me change them. It is that the driver I have does not allow me to change. I even updated my driver and it stil lwouldn t let me. I want to know how or if it is possible for me to change my hardware acceleration settings, so I can play my game. The graphics driver of my computer is a mobile Intel 945 express chipset family.
    Thanks Kelly101

  • How to enable hardware acceleration to play solitare?

    Original title: hardware issues

    When I try to play solitaire. He told me to turn on my hardware acceleration. How can I do this?

    You must ensure that the graphics card is at the height.

    I suspect that you have upgraded to Windows 7, so what you have to do now is obtained from the computer manufacturer site and download and install Windows 7 drivers for your graphics card, or, in the case of a desktop computer, go the manufacturer of graphics card and get the drivers for Windows 7.

    If it is not all, you will have to put up with what you have, or go back to the last known good operating system, or update your computer...

  • How to change the fonts on windows 8.

    I wonder how to change the fonts by default to Gabriola police? is there a software that I need to buy? Please let me know if you know how.thanks... big nose...

    Hi Edgardargueta,

    The function to change the font is not available in window 8. This feature is by design. The only way is to increase or decrease the text size and can also be turned into fat.

    See the following link for more information: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/make-text-screen-larger-smaller/?v=t

    The software is a third problem, Microsoft does not support any software of third-party application. The best option for you is to use your favorite search engine and the search for these software online.

    WARNING OF THIRD PARTY

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • How to change the settings of Windows 8 trackpad

    I have an Asus S400C with Windows 8 is installed and pain with my trackpad.

    I'm used to be able to scroll with two fingers on the trackpad, but this function seems to have completely abandoned.

    When I got my phone a few months ago, that this would work sporadically, but now nothing. I tried to hunt around in settings, etc. to see if it needs to be enabled/disabled, however I can not even find the trackpad settings! I searched touchpad/trackpad etc. and looked through the settings of the mouse, but none seem to control the current laptop keyboard. Instead, it maintains direct me to the tactile features on the current screen.

    I'm so use to scroll with one finger on my screen while using the mouse trackpad for other features...

    I tried to have some Google around for this online but everyone seems to have slightly different questions and no not to Asus - some answers have to give on the brand of computer - but wouldn't it be bound to the windows software and where touchpad info are stored?

    If anyone knows how to change the functions of the trackpad, or at least where to find who would be most appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are several different manufacturers of the Trackpads. The computer manufacturer decides what trackpad to install based on compatibility with other hardware and software on the system.

    The computer manufacturer will include a utility for the trackpad, which is designed for this particular model options. It is usually a utility that adds a Trackpad tab in the Control Panel/mouse component, or it may be a separate control panel item.

    You must contact the Asus support for a solution.

    You can change the language on Windows 7 Professional t, this is possible on Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

    So if you want another language, buy Windows 7 Ultimate or be happy with the current language of Windows 7 Professional. ;)

  • How to change the language of Windows XP from German to English

    original title: German English XP Windows XP license key

    Hello.. I would like to change the language of my Windows XP from German to English.  Is this legal possible to format my system and borrow an English version of Windows XP and install and enter the license included with the German version key?

    Hi, Soorajr,

    Never borrow from another CD.  It is called facelift soft and illegal.

    The goal of Product Activation is to reduce a form of piracy known as "casual copying" or "softlifting." Casual copying is the sharing of software between people in a way that violates the end user of the software (EULA) license agreement. An example of casual copying is if someone were to get a copy of Microsoft Office XP and load it on his PC, then share it with another person who charged on her PC, then share it with a third person who charged on his PC and so on. This form of piracy is widespread and has been estimated by some industry trade groups to explain a staggering 50 percent of the economic losses due to piracy. Worldwide, the piracy rate is estimated at 37 percent; in other words, one in every three software products on the market is hacked.
