Hello,
I just finished my first PC build and after installing Windows 7 I went to play minesweeper and it said "Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on." so I looked around for drivers but honestly I don't know what to look for so I ran a performance information test by windows and it gave my graphics a 1.0 the lowest score. So I am wondering if they are just turned off or if there is some unknown driver I'm looking for or what. My CPU is an AMD A8-6600k with integrated graphics, an MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 motherboard, 4GB of RAM and a 1TB WD caviar blue running Windows 7.
Please help,
Thanks.

If you can see your screen at all, you're already using your integrated graphics. I don't know that much about AMD solutions, but I would open up the catalyst control centre and look for hardware acceleration options

Yeah I can see my screen and everything but it seems as if there is something wrong if it's running this slowly also catalyst only has CPU settings it has nothing in it about the integrated graphics.
