Why do I get a message that “Direct3D hardware acceleration is currently unavailable”, followed by Bravo! Player shutting down when I try to start the application?
Bravo! Player requires the DirectX component known as Direct3D to be available and to have hardware acceleration support from your computer’s graphics subsystem. If you are getting this message, either Direct3D acceleration has been turned off on your computer, or your graphics hardware is unable to provide the necessary support. To see if Direct3D is simply turned of, do the following: On the Windows Start menu, select the Run command. In the Run window, type DxDiag and select OK. If DirectX is properly installed the DirectX Diagnostics Tool will open. Select the Display tab. In a section labeled DirectX Features, you will see the text Direct 3D Acceleration, followed by text that says either Enabled or Disabled. If the text says Disabled, select the Enable button to the right, then Exit DirectX Diagnostics. Bravo! should now run. If the Enable button is grayed out, your computer graphics card does not support Direct3D, and Bravo! Player will not run on this system.
