Enabling Video Hardware Acceleration in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Operating System

By default, video hardware acceleration is set to a low setting by the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. Your system’s video controller supports enhanced features and requires that the video hardware acceleration be set to its highest (Full) setting. Operating the system without adjusting the video hardware acceleration to its highest setting may cause the system to become unstable under certain conditions. To adjust the video hardware acceleration, follow these steps:

1Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Display. You can also right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.

2Click the Settings tab in the Display Properties window, and then click Advanced.

3Click the Troubleshoot tab, and move the hardware acceleration slider to Full.

4Click OK, and then click OK.

If you reinstall or update the video drivers, or if you reinstall Windows Server 2003, then reset the video hardware acceleration to its Full setting again.
