Under Display Settings Advanced Setting (tab) Troubleshoot it should
allow you to adjust your settings. My drivers for my graphics card and mother
board are up to date, but I still cant get access. It says "Your current
display driver does not allow changes to be made to hardware acceleration
settings." Please someone tell me how to adjust this so I can change my
acceleration settings.

You need to tell us the make and model of the computer and what edition of
Vista and whether x86 or x64. Also the graphics card.

I have the same problem.... I have a Thinkpad R61 with an NVIDIA Quadro NVS
140M card, and Windows Premium, running on an x86.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hmm... My specific problem is when I try to play movies in Powerpoint, they
appear as black boxes. I have solved this problem on half a dozen XP
machines by reducing the hardware acceleration. Any idea how I could achieve
a similar result in Vista? I am coming close to chucking my laptop out of a
window...

Thanks!

AFAIK in Vista the graphics card drivers do not allow you to adjust the
amount of hardware acceleration. However, they do allow you to select what
features other then basic decoding acceleration are enabled when your
decoder program elects hardware acceleration.

Hi, I have the same problem,
I have the Dell XPS M1730
T8300, 4GB ram, Nvidia 8700m GT
Windows Vista 64 bit

I have PowerDVD 7 and the Nvidia Purevideo, but i can't get hardware
accelerator to work. I have the latest drivers.

I did get it to work, but when i shut down the pc, and turn it back on, the
hardware acceleration was disabled. I cannot get it to work. Computer is
using all my processing to play games and watching videos, With hardware
acceleration, it uses only 10% cpu, everything runs much smoother. Please
help with my problem. I've been working on this for awhile.
