Video problem with Windows 7 Games
- by Jordan 1GT
I have a Dell xps M1330 which originally ran Vista, but I upgraded to Windows 7. When I try to run a Win 7 game like spider solitaire I receive the following 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 down game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on."
I confirmed that hardware acceleration is turned on. When I go to Dell's site, I'm told there is no later video driver. When I run the game it runs very choppy.
I wouldn't care, but I loaded a .pptx file which is doing strange things in normal view and I suspect may be related to the same video problem.
Any ideas?
