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

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:
1
Click
Start
, point to
Control Panel
, and then click
Display
.
You can also right-click the desktop, and then click
Properties
.
2
Click the
Settings
tab in the
Display Properties
window, and then click
Advanced
.
3
Click the
Troubleshoot
tab, and move the hardware acceleration slider to
Full
.
4
Click
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.
