Win7 64-bit, video settings - Please help
I built myself a new PC last summer primarily for MAME gaming and Visual Pinball, but really haven't had time to set it up and configure it.
It doesn't need to be too powerful or have the highest-end video, but I want to take advantage of what I do have.
It's an AMD Phenom 9950 quad-core with 4gb Ram.
I installed a Radeon x800 GTO, with an S-Video output to a 25" monitor (in a Gaming cabinet).
When I initially installed the video card, Win7 Ultimate loaded the drivers, so I didn't bother any further.
I recently tried to install Future Pinball and I'm getting a message:
Quote:
Future Pinball has detected that your openGL exceleration is running in software mode.
This will cause Future Pinball to run poorly. nVidia and ATI only support hardware acceleration (which this application requires) in 32 Bit mode. Please change your desktop colour to 32 bit and try running this application again.
I tried installing the latest ATI drivers for this card and they appear to have installed successfully, but I can't find an ATI program to open and review the settings.
1. What is this message telling me? (I need to run in 32 bit mode, not 64(?)
2. How can I correct it? (shouldn't there be an ATI application after I install ATI Catalyst9.11?) Or is it a Win7 setting?
Thanks!
