Display Driver does not allow for 3d acceleration

2,035 Views

Hi,

I have a Windows Vista Home Premium with SP2 64 Bit OS and 4 GB of RAM. The computer is an IBM Lenovo with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I recently installed and updated my display driver to Intel 946 GZ Express Chipset. In addition I ran the driver check utility to ensure that this is the latest driver. My monitor shows a Generic PnP Monitor.

I am trying to install a game for my son. This game requires 3D Acceleration. I checked the Display Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot. The Change Settings is disabled. I opened up the Intel Graphics properties dialog and clciked on 3D Settings hoping that I can find something there, but without any luck.

So my question is how can I get this 3D Acceleration enabled. I appreciate your help in advance.

Thank you,

-Johnny
