hardware acceleration

Have just installed Vista Home premium (SP 1) on top of XP. When trying to play solitare (which worked fine on XP) - standard Vista Games - I get a message that says hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card - the game plays but sooooooo very slowly, is this a driver or a card problem? How do I enable the hardware accerleration?

Re: hardware acceleration

Hi,

As far as I am aware, the drivers that are loaded by Vista are standard Microsoft VGA drivers. Try running windows update and it will look and see if new drivers are available and will download and install these.

Regards
