Unable to play games because DirectDraw and Direct 3D acceleration: not available

I have a laptop HP DV9930us delivered with windows vista 64.  I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and installed DirectX 11.  I can't run any games or programs that use 3D graphics and when I run DxDiag, it said that the DirectDraw and Direct 3D acceleration options are not available.  Everything I read said to enable them, but there is no option to enable them.  Before the upgrade to Windows 7, everything works great.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Hello

1. what operating system do you use?

2. what game do you play?

I suggest you follow the link and check.

  • Re: Unable to play games because of the graphics card

    Hi all...
    I'm on Toshiba Satellite L40-18W-PSL4CE model 00H0000GAR...

    I'm not able to play games... If games start it says unsupported graphics card...
    I use 1 GB of RAM... In my view, that there is no available external graphics card...

    Please help me

    Hello sow

    Satellite L40 is certainly no game machine. In my view, that it runs with minimum of RAM for Vista and you must not surprise that you can't play games.
    I don't know what games you want to play, but try it with an older one like FarCry or Maxpayne1. Maybe it will work.

    For newer games, this laptop has certainly no enough power.

  • Unable to play games because of random fps drops

    So I just got my new laptop HP Envy 17 3070nr A9P78UA #ABA about a month ago. And since I've played all the games installed above (in offline mode) or online, I randomly get huge lag, fps drops below 1 and sound feedback is slow and distorted. This may take from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. Occurred are examples of games where it emits: half-life 2, Countersrike GO and League of Legends. I updated my drivers and BIOS for later and I reinstalled the games.

    Data sheet:

    OS - Win 7 (64-bit)

    Processor - Intel COre i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 cores, 8 logical processors

    RAM - 8 GB

    Graphics - Radeon HD 7690 M XT

    Free space - 450 GB

    IIRC, it's a hard disk protection feature that is the cause. Disable it solves the problem. I forgot what the function is called, though.

  • I'm unable to play games in fullscreen. As soon as the game is activated, the display is only in the center of the screen.

    I'm unable to play games in fullscreen. As soon as the game is activated, the display is only in the center of the screen. It happens with every game.

    Have you tried to change the GPU scaling option in the control center of AMD?

    You could try re-installing the latest drivers (and therefore, the control center) and see if that fixes the freeze in order to change the option.

    Otherwise, you can try a system restore to a point before the option has been modified or when it was not gel.

  • Spider sometimes works ok, sometimes in the rendering mode.__sleep and hibernation software are not available when the software rendering mode is running

    I have an ASUS K501N laptop.running 7 Home premium.

    Sometimes when I turn on it the office/display is not so strong, if I click on Spider I get a flag your who says run the game in software rendering mode hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card driver happens whensleep and Hibernate options are not available.

    Other times that everything works correctly.

    Anyone know why and how to remedy

    Hi leflaneur,

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. when there is no sleep and hibernate options available?

    4. are you able to play other games on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you enable the acceleration of the display on the computer and check if the game works.

    (a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

    (b) click on display settings, and then click Advanced settings.

    (c) click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (d) move Hardware Acceleration complete.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you will need to download and install the drivers for the graphics cards updates by visiting the card manufacturer's Web site and check if it helps.

    have 5 LR and CC. The folders are different, some are missing in the CC. And some Collections are not available in CC. I'm looking forward to use CC rather than LR5 so how can I make the folders and collections even on each?

    Hi cjohnm,

    You can use the 5 Lightroom Catalog and improve it in Lightroom 6, therefor all folders and collections will be identical in both version.

    Open the Lightroom all holding the key Alt/Opt and select only the 5 Lightroom Catalog and it will switch to it.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • I have firefox I put in player17.0.0 flash and I can't see vidios on utube or play games on facebook or zynga. Why not? What should I do?

    When I was asked to update my flash player, so I did, I was playing farm town 2 on Zynga. When I did, I went to play my game and the image would not return. The site came, but the game would not load completely so that I can play the game. I'm went on You tube to play music videos and the videos would not play. I went to my WWE network to see if I could look at him and I could not watch anything there either. I can not even play my games book face. I loaded and unloaded flashplayer at least a dozen times or more, and I still can't get anywhere. I can also do not charge any old version of flash player. What should I do?

    First of all, unfortunately, pop-up message on the Flash updates while you visit Web sites can often install malware. If you notice any strange behavior then please complete your plan of regular safety with some freedom to scan/cleaning of the tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

    Secondly, your "more details of the system" does not show the 'Shockwave Flash' plugin, so it can be disabled. You can check on the page modules, either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for "Shockwave Flash", and if you find it, change permission to 'never activate' to 'ask to activate '.

    If the plugin is not there, you can check the following folder to see if you find this file on the system:

    File: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    File: NPSWF32_17_0_0_188.dll

    I also noticed something odd: you said Windows 7, but your Firefox means Windows XP. Could clear you any parameter of backward compatibility on your shortcut to Firefox. Here's how, either:

    • Right click of your Firefox shortcut on the desktop > properties
    • right click on your icon of Firefox taskbar pinned > Mozilla Firefox right-click > properties

    In this dialog box, open the Compatibility tab and make sure that nothing is settled here, so Firefox can take full advantage of Windows 7.
