No Hardware Acceleration


HARDWARE you really think software driver is going to fix a HARDWARE problem?

*AHEM*
A problem with drivers can cause the hardware to malfunction or not be detected... there is nothing wrong with trying to fix a \"hardware\" problem using \"software\". I assume that Shadownamja\'s card supports hardware acceleration...

You can tell us your specs so we can help you solve the problem or suggest something. :) What graphics card are you using?

I assume you are running windows. These are the steps to  go for Windows 2000,  but they should work with other versions as  well. The last steps should be rather similiar.

For the processor & system ram click on start->settings->control  panel->system
For the gfx card & it\'s ram click on start->settings->control  panel->display->settings->advanced->adapter


Back to Planeshift again \\o/

Why do it that hard?

Start->Run
Enter dxdiag and press enter
Press Save all information

Open the new file
Paste it here
