Ways to improve the video capabilities of Win2003

I heard that Windows Server 2003 is more stable than Windows XP, so I finally upgraded the Windows XP operating system. But now I found that although the interface is similar, the screen is very poor and there is no sound when playing Media Player. Since there are no other big problems, I still want to continue using this operating system. I don't know if I can help me solve this problem?

This should be a very common problem. It may be answered in the previous series. However, mainly because Windows Server 2003 is targeted at server applications, it has purposely blocked some multimedia features.

You can right click on the desktop, and then go to “display properties →set →senior →troubleshoot”,<;hardware acceleration” cursor to the right to “complete” , point & ldquo; OK & rdquo; quit. Then go to “ start → all programs → attachments & rarr; system tools & rarr; system information & rdquo;, select & ldquo; tools & rarr; directx diagnostic tools & rdquo; (due to the program to collect system information, so need to wait a little, may appear Splash screen), select the “Show” tab, turn on the “DirectDraw Acceleration” and “Direct3D Acceleration” item, click "Sign out”

After the driver installation is completed, the sound card can be used normally in Windows 2003 Standard Edition, but the system still cannot sound in the enterprise version. The solution is to enter the “Control Panel & Rarr; Sound and Audio Control Device”, check the “Audio Service” option, and click “OK” to restart the computer.

If you find that the sound is intermittent, go to the "directx diagnostic tool" and select the "Sounds" tab. Drag the cursor to the right in the "Acceleration Level" to "Right Acceleration". ”, point & ldquo; quit & rdquo;
