“No Hardware Acceleration” usually means you either:
1.) Have very outdated drivers for your graphics card
2.) Have a very outdated graphics card, or
3.) Have a distinct lack of anything that could be considered a graphics card
Solve this by:
1.) Updating your graphics card drivers from the manufacturer's website
2.) Buy a new graphics card, or
3.) Buy
a graphics card ;}
If you don't know what graphics card you have, you can (on Windows) point to the Start button and click Run. Type "dxdiag" (no quotes) in the box and press return. In the new window, go to the Display tab, and read "Name" and "Manufacturer". "Name" is the name and model of your card, and "Manufacturer"... is self-explanatory :]
