Windows Experience Index Rating

My "Graphics" and "Gaming Graphics" ratings are both 1.0. What do I need to
do to increase them?
I also get a warning message when trying to play any games that reads:
"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."
How do I check the video card driver and where do I go to download the latest
version?

Re: Windows Experience Index Rating

Go into Device Manager in Computer Management. On the right section expand
the Display adapters icon.
What display adapter does it show your system has?
For example my system shows "ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro AGP".
My graphics score is 4.7 and 4.8.

Don't multi-post!!!
You have answers elsewhere, and waste people's time.

This is the way for you to never get help again!
