It depends - if you have a really weak integrated graphics chipset instead of a video card, you might be stuck with such graphics. More often than not however all you need is a driver update. If you don't know what graphics card you have, (on Windows) point to the Start button and click Run. Type dxdiag 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.

If you think you may not have the latest driver version for your card:

For NVidia, visit www.nvidia.com (http://www.nvidia.com)
For ATI, visit www.ati.com (http://www.ati.com)
For anything else, use www.Google.com (http://www.Google.com) to find the correct manufacturer address.

I now know my hardware is good enough, so it must be a software problem. I get a yellow bar on startup that says something about "crystalspace.canvas.openglwin: No hardware acceleration!" How do I fix it?

Post by: Siteri Kidachi on September 06, 2007, 06:36:03 pm: I think I'm getting closer to the problem... It turns out I was trying to get the drivers for the desktop X1600 version, not the laptop one. So I got the right one and now I'm trying to get the software to work, but Windows keeps blocking it from working at startup. I turned off the security feature that I think is in the way... hopefully it will work now.
