Hardware Acceleration

I have Windows Vista, and I'm trying to change my hardware accelertion. Everytime I try to, the button to change the settings is grey and below it it says something like "Your current driver does not allow changes to be made to it." Anyone have any help?

Drivers are basically the things that allow software to be hardware accelerated. Sounds as if yours are not installed or corrupt. Install or reinstall the drivers should solve the problem.

Which piece of hardware are you trying to accelerate, and why do you think its not already at full. All devices will be set to full by default.

I will assume, yeah i know, that you meant videocard.

Are you logged in as an administator or a member of the administrators group??
(otherwise, it is a permissions isue)

You may also only have a basic M$ videodriver.

Check your brand/model and install the newest driver from the maufacturer of the laptop and or the videochipset.
