Enabling Video Hardware Acceleration in the Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 Operating System
By default, video hardware acceleration is set to its lowest setting (None) 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:
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 from None to Full.
4 Click OK, and then click OK.
If you reinstall or update the video drivers, or if you reinstall Windows Server 2003, you must reset
the video hardware acceleration to its Full setting again.
