Hardware Acceleration
« on: May 21, 2003, 03:18:49 pm »
Time of test: May 19, 2003
OS: Windows XP Home
Processor: Pentium 4 1.5 GHZ
RAM: 40 GB
Video Card: NVidia something
Video Card Memory: Don\'t Know
PS Client Version: Mole. Blue
OpenGL or Safe Mode: OpenGL
Description of the bug: Whenever I run OpenGL, I get the music but just a white background and at the top of the white page theres a yellow bar going horizantly that says \"NO HARDWARE ACCELERATION\" I have no idea what hardware acceleration is. Safe mode works find its just slow.

You\'re right, that was my hard drive. I dunno how to find my video card info.  As for software mode, it still says NO HARDWARE ACCELERATION. Has anybody experienced this?

To get RAM info, Right-Click \"My Computer\" and go to \"Properties\"

To get Video card info, Right-Click the Desktop and go to \"Properties\".  Then Settings (tab), then Advanced (button).  Look through the Tabs there.

To turn hardware acceleration on... Look around in the above tabs.

Oh my gosh, i\'m losing patience fast. Thanks Eiffe for your help but to my dismay, my hardware acceleration was on, and it was on FULL. As for my card, its an NVIDIA GEFORCE 2 with 32mb.
