Why did PowerPoint tell me to upgrade my graphics card?


I was viewing a slideshow that I had created the other day when suddenly I got a message telling me to upgrade my graphics card or its drivers. I'm just confused by this, because my computer is almost brand new and should have some of the latest graphics capabilities.

This link should answer all of your questions better than I could: http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-powerpoint/archive/2010/01/05/powerpoint-2010-hardware-acceleration.aspx Basically, Microsoft reworked the entire slideshow experience to be compatible with DirectX 9.0.
