game is running in software rendering mode

I downloaded the Windows Vista Service Pack 1. What a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!! It took several attempts and now a get a message saying "the game is running in software rendering mode. Hardward 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 hard acceleration is turned on." I looked for updates and there are none and the acceleration is turned on. Some games will not work like solitaire. This computer is only a few months old. I hope I won't have to pay to have the problem remedied as I am not that computer savvy. Thanks for help.
