Thread: Screen Resolution Error

If there are no other applications running at the same time either in the form of open windows or in the system tray (bottom right ofthe screen) that might be eating into the system resources then you will need to hike up the 'hardware acceleration'. Right click on the Desktop and select Properties. Click on the 'Settings' tab and click on the 'Advanced' button.

Click on the 'Troubleshoot' tab and move the slider under 'Hardware Acceleration' towards 'Full'. Restart your computer and try playing the movie once again. If you still get the same error, then reduce the screen resolution and also set the 'Color Quality' (in Settings tab ofthe Graphics Properties dialog box) to "Medium (16-bit)" and click on Ok.



This should reduce the strain on the video card (especially if it's integrated - it will use system memory as video memory). Also, check to see if the 'DirectDraw Acceleration' is enabled in Windows' DirectX settings. Click on Start I Run, type "dxdiag" and

click on Ok. Click on the 'Display' tab in the DirectX Diagnostics dialog box and enable "DirectDraw Acceleration". Click on "Save All Information" and then on Exit. Restart the computer and try playing the movie now.
