Getting good graphics on Vista and Windows 7

[Jim_Chinnery]

Each time I try to evaluate the graphics in Windows Vista Basic Home edition and Windows 7, I get the error message “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 the hardware acceleration is turned on.”
I have tried reloading the Graphics card software
I have downloaded the Vista Drivers and installed them
I have enabled 3D.
I’m not certain about Hardware acceleration?
But can’t shift the error message and I am still getting very poor graphics.
Is it a Virtual Box problem or a base program problem?
My Base or Host program is Windows XP Pro SP3
Can anyone help me please?
