Hardware Acceleration
I have a Windows 7 system that is used by an elderly gentleman. He likes to play solitaire and Hearts but when he opens any of his games he gets a message that Hardware Acceleration has been disabled or turned off. I check the setting and it is set to "Full." His games do open but the performance is incredibly slow. The Motherboard is an MSI MS-7082 Ver. 1. It shows the video card as standard VGA. Please advise as to how I can resolve this problem.
Thank you!

Thank you!

Robert, what system is this? post the model please
it looks like there are no drivers installed, so i would check that first in device manager
here is how to find an install them :
f you have unknown devices in device manager, you can use this procedure to identify them :
1-visit the motherboard manufacturers support site, for downloading drivers
2- use windows update >optional updates to find them
3-Start>Programs>Accessori
Now select "Components" and highlight "Problem Devices".
All hardware devices with a driver problem will be listed here.
Make a note of the first line of the PNP Device ID line of the entry. It will show a Vendor number and a Device number (VENxxxxDEVxxxx) both four digits long.
Look up those numbers here: http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php
This will tell you the manufacturer and the chip number.
Check the manufacturer's website first or google them - or post them here
If your LAN is running, you can also use windows update> optional drivers, or use slimdrivers : https://www.slimwareutilities.com/slimdrivers.php

The motherboard is a MSI MS 7082 Ver 1.
In System Information there are no problem devices listed.
The Display adapter is Not Available (Standard Display Type) compatible
It says Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.
I am trying to us an ad on card - NVIDIA Vanta

that card only has drivers for win2000 + XP
you tried "2- use windows update >optional updates to find them" ?
if you did, the only way to find a driver then is using the automatic 3rd party programs, like i posted :
https://www.slimwareutilities.com/slimdrivers.php
did you try it? otherwise, try drivereasy also : www.drivereasy.com
both are free, but slimware is faster

Windows update did not find a driver and neither did slimware or drivereasy.
