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) 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 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.
Correcting Flat-Panel Display Video Problems During
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Operating System
Installations
NOTE:
The following information applies only to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system
installations on systems that have certain flat-panel displays attached. Systems that have a CRT monitor
attached, or systems that have any other operating system installed, are not affected.
Under certain conditions, the image on some flat-panel displays may roll during the installation of
the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. This is caused by console redirection being
enabled in the System Setup program (console redirection is disabled by default).
