Problem: No ideal display modes available.
Performer can find no display modes available on the display card which support all of the features and speed necessary to play shows optimally. As a result, shows may play slowly or unevenly.
Solutions:
Try adjusting the "Hardware acceleration" setting for your display card. Some display card drivers will allow you to turn on or off hardware acceleration. Set the Hardware acceleration to "Maximum". You can find this setting in your Control Panel Display Properties.
Try changing your display device driver. Most display cards come with device drivers from the hardware manufacturer, and Windows comes with device drivers for many common display cards. In some cases, one or the other driver will make your display card perform faster.
Try adding video memory or changing your display card after all the other suggestions have failed. To produce its television-quality results, Performer needs a minimum level of hardware performance, which may require adding more video memory (1 megabyte is the minimum for lower-performance, software-emulated 8-bit color shows, 2 megabytes for television-quality hardware-supported 8-bit color shows) or replacing your display card (some older cards are simply too slow to play Performer shows).
