• How do I activate hardware acceleration for playing solitaire?

  Before playing Solitaire, a screen to make sure that hardware acceleration is turned on. How can I do this?

  Well, I have just explained how you enable hardware acceleration.  If there is no such setting in display properties and then it is not available (or is already at full throttle, and didn't need adjustment).  If you have questions about how the game can give you this message when you cannot set hardware acceleration on your system, I recommend that you contact Support technique Dell for an explanation.  Maybe there is another way on their system to activate hardware acceleration or maybe this message appear on all systems with the game installled if is possible to adjust the hardware acceleration.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  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.

• In games, I get a window saying: hardware acceleration is turned off and the game is running slowly.

  The continuous solitair game give a window saying "hardware acceleration" is disabled.  In addition, the game runs very slowly.

  Ed,
  If you are still having this problem then I recommend to update your video card driver.  Go to the website for the manufacturer of the video card and usually they will have a driver download section.  Also, if this does not help, then after your system specs and what version of Windows and level of service pack that you are running.

• Spider Solitaire, the ctrl z key does not work

  In Spider Solitaire, the ctrl z no longer works, I have to go to the game tab and then select Cancel to undo a move, please help, running Vista

  Original title: Spider Solitaire

  Hello

  CTRL-z works in other programs, like a word processor/text - Wordpad, Word etc. ? Do a shot and see if ctrl-z performs a "Cancel".

  If other programs are affected in the same way it may be a hardware problem, you can cross test with another keyboard?

• 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...
