  • Application cannot recognize the hardware acceleration, but it certainly is turned

    Hello

    I'm a newbie on this forum, but I have looked around before posting my problem and could not find any solution. Maybe there is someone who can give me a hint.

    Here's my problem: I have two users on my desktop pc Windows 7, two users play Farmville 2. Until the update of last week everything worked well. But now Farmville displays a message saying that hardware acceleration is turned off and the mode full screen option is not available. This applies to user 1 on firefox and chrome and user 2 on chrome only. In other words: User 2 can play in full screen mode with firefox but not with chrome.

    I checked everything that mentioned on the Flash Player help page games, video or audio does not work. Windows. (The Flash Player Information bos said that my OS is Windows 7 (32 bit), although I certainly have a 64 bit OS). I removed the Flash player and re-installed and activated the hardware acceleration, which is needed to play Farmville 2 in full screen mode.

    Thanks for any help

    We actually install a Player Flash 32 and 64 bits in parallel on your machine, but one that is used depends on the number of bits in the browser host process.  Firefox is a 32-bit browser, so you're going to get Flash Player 32-bit.  I don't really know why the Flash Player entry in Control Panel includes (32-bit) in the name.  It was probably logical at the time, but that's another question entirely.  Google Chrome is a different beast and the latest versions of Chrome on Windows are 64-bit, and they include the Flash Player 64 - bit corresponding PPAPI.

    In any case, I think here is if you have enabled hardware acceleration, but if hardware acceleration is not available, we probably have to index your GPU drivers because they are unstable.  The fact that happens in Chrome and Firefox in favor of the theory.  Update to the latest graphics drivers available, generally will do.

    I * am * a little perplexed about why he works for a firefox user and not the other.  Firefox * fact * have a way of browser globally disable hardware acceleration.  I wonder if the affected user has this option enabled.  It's under Advanced > General > use hardware acceleration when available.  I'd be curious to know if it happens again with a fresh Firefox profile: use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox | Firefox help

  • Firefox crashes when I restart. I found an answer related to the hardware accelerator but cannot find a way to get to it?

    When I close firefox and reopen it, it lights up briefly and then crash. I am able to open it by clicking on a link that requires a password and use it from there, but that takes some time and its very annoying. I have a Blocker to add and I don't want to get rid of using safe mode. I read something about turning off hardware acceleration, but when I go to tools, theres no button options. IM also using a MacBook Pro.

    You can try to start Firefox in Mode safe temporarily (hold down the option key while starting Firefox) and disable hardware acceleration (Preferences dialog box > advanced > general, uncheck the "Use hardware acceleration when available"), then exit Firefox and try to run normally.

    But if you can extract another thing: crash report IDs which will allow volunteers to see some of the crash reports you have submitted to Mozilla. Please check the last section of the support article "Firefox plant - troubleshoot and prevent assistance fixing crashes" for steps get these IDs crash and then after the most recent here.

  • How to increase hardware acceleration in windows 8 Pro

    Salvation of WIndows experts, please let me know how to increase windows hardware acceleration in Windows 8 Pro?

    Hi Sabir,

    Hardware acceleration can be increased or decreased. It can only be enabled or disabled. It also depends on the graphics card. Some graphics cards do not support hardware acceleration.

    Please read the following steps to check if the graphics card supports acceleration hardware or not and to allow:

    a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X and select Control Panel.

    b. in icons view, click view , and then click change display settings, in the left pane.

    c. click on Advanced settings.

    In the advanced settings window, if the Troubleshooting tab is present, then the graphics card supports hardware acceleration.

    b. click the Troubleshooting and move the Hardware Acceleration complete.

    c. click OK and restart the computer to save the settings.

    I hope this information is useful. Please get back to us with the State of the question.

  • Hardware acceleration can be improved in the non support Windows XP?

    I was able to diagnose my problems with the new windows that open instead of tabs and expectant keyboard following the indications of support: start in safe mode, removing the hardware acceleration, reboot normally and... .no problem! I would like to know if it is possible to update the graphics drivers in Windows XP - pro before going through the whole process (I'm not a tech savvy type). My internet loading is already slow as it is, rural DSL speeds, but I rather just be patient rather than to tackle the constant keyboard problems that have been driving me crazy. Please let know us if it is worth trying to upgrade or not.

    Personal opinion, away from NVIDIA / GeForce video cards. AMD / ATI based cards seem to work better with Firefox that the GeForce cards based on the research I did in April for a new PC, I was building at that time here.

    No problems with hardware acceleration or Firefox on Win7 32 bit with focus on the AMD Radeon video card from ASUS that I installed (~55.00 USD). But with Windows XP, you may never be able to use hardware acceleration, 'new' video cards do not support an EOL as WinXP operating system, and those that do may not provide enough in the long term, as Mozilla continues to twist HA in Firefox.

  • How to disable hardware acceleration for the only area?

    Firefox is a great product and I had not any problems so far that I couldn't solve... but:

    Microsoft updated the interface of Hotmail user, Firefox will crash now, whenever I have send an email from this site. This can be "solved" by disabling hardware acceleration, but I don't want to have to endure the inconvenience of it just because of a site... My graphics driver is updated.

    So my question: is it possible to create a work around for this problem? I doubt that the hardware acceleration may be disabled for a single site, but maybe there is a way that allows me to start a new instance of Firefox without hardware acceleration or something like that so I don't have to not go to options, turn off, restart Firefox, check/send emails, go to options again and restart again... any ideas?

    Hello, Bloodthorn, sorry, but the hardware acceleration may NOT be disabled for a single site (and I would like that too if possible), try Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and disable hardware acceleration in a portable version.

    Thank you

  • Hardware acceleration of flash player does not work on windows 10

    I installed windows 10 yesterday, everything works fine except the hardware acceleration in flash. I don't see that a green video if I activate hardware acceleration. Work videos flash if I disable hardware acceleration, but I don't think it's a good solution because the CPU usage goes way up. I have an AMD ATI Radeon HD 4890 and I use the drivers supplied with windows 10 because amd has not released any Windows 10 drivers for my card. Strange thing is that hardware acceleration works fine in chrome, so I think this isn't a driver problem, is there some way I can fix this in firefox?

    I solved the problem by installing the drivers amd since the INF, now working on hardware acceleration!

    Edit: It seems that the Green video problem is solved with this solution because the CPU usage is always the same with hardware acceleration disabled

  • Firefox 4 is filled with black lines, even if the hardware aceleration is off or on, any help?

    Hi, since yesterday I noticed something wrong with FF, but first
    I'm using windows 7, I have 8 GB of ram, ati radeon 5750 1 GB, i7 and FF is updated 4.01, and everything was just like 2 months old.

    So yesterday, I noticed that the policies suddenly began to look pixelated I googled a little bit and found that it was a problem in FF 4 beta and I don't either change something in "subject: config" or uncheck the Hardware acceleration, I tried, but the problem was solved only for a few minutes, or until I restarted FF even if the option is checked or unchecked, so I messed up with the "topic: config" but still nothing.

    So I decided to use windows system restore, everything went well, and FF seemed to work very well.

    But what is happening now...

    http://i.imgur.com/txMp1.jpg

    This is happening with the option checked or not and sometimes is all the FF window.

    Thanks for any help

  • Equium L20 - hardware acceleration is turned off or not supported

    whenever I try to play a game, it is said the hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card do I do it please help im running windows 7

    You must validate the machine model and or the graphic chipset. If for example it's Nvidia then opening the Nvidia control panel and look for the PhysX inffo you will see if hardware acceleration is enabled or disabled at the machine level. Under the 3D settings, there are application specific settings. I would have thought that any game as installed will be enabled these features supporting GPU. Go you into games custom settings and turn on the features are only supported on the latest chipsets high range?

  • 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!

  • 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

    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.
