| | The game is running in software rendering mode. Is there a way to disable the software rendering mode message? Anyone playing Solitaire using the standard VGA driver in Windows Vista has seen this message. The game is running in software rendering mode. "Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on." Is there a way to disable this annoying message? Believe me, my grandparents do not care. All they use a computer for is playing Solitaire! One of the reasons I upgraded them to Windows Vista Home Basic is because of the new large-print deck in Solitaire. I have also enabled the large dpi font under display settings. It is an old computer and not supported, but it lets my grandparents play Solitaire. The motherboard is a Shuttle AE22 v11 with integrated Intel 815 graphics. Uh umm! Speaking of which, I have no nice things to say about Intel for not releasing Vista drivers for the Intel 810/815 chipsets. I ended up disabling the onboard Intel 815 graphics and installing an ATI Rage 128 card with 16MB of VRAM. And no, Windows Vista does not support this card. But the card worked beautifully after manually installing the Rage 128 Windows 2000 drivers in Windows Vista, hehe. Just make sure to disable the ATI startup tray application. I am ranting on, but I feel better aftergriping to the world. If you are still reading this, let me offer you a little encouragement. If are planning to take exam 70-620 Configuring a Windows Vista Client, it's not bad... hey, I passed it! If you have been using Windows Vista since Beta 2 and know the basics and what each of the new features do you should be okay. Brandon Moses |
