How to Achieve P3ProSwing Full Motion Graphics - or The Ability to Fly With the Ball

Full Motion Graphics is the P3ProSwing software's ability to "fly with the ball" over the virtual golf course or virtual driving range immediately after each swing.

So your 'System Compatibility Test" responded with "Full motion graphics are not available."  You followed the instructions on the screen, but still no positive result.  There are two additional steps you can take to attempt to maximize your computer for full motion graphics.  (Get ready, our Tech guy is good.)

These steps are:

1. Optimizing your computer display settings
2. Updating your driver

You will find the details for implementing these steps below.

Step 1: Optimizing your computer's display settings

You may be able to run full motion graphics by optimizing your graphic settings.

The diagrams below may help you with these steps.

First shut down P3ProSwing™ and any other graphics programs youre using programs like Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc.

• Right click your desktop background screen and select the ‘Properties’ tab.
• Select the ‘Settings’ tab.
• Click the ‘Advanced’ button, and select the ‘Troubleshooting’ tab. On some versions of Windows, it may instead say ‘Performance’. Ensure that ‘Hardware acceleration’ is set to ‘Full’. If not, set it to Full, Click OK to get out and retry the P3ProSwing™ program. If full motion graphics still do not work return to the display ‘Settings’ tab and adjust the ‘Colors’.
  See Figure 2
• Under ‘Colors’ select a different bit size than you currently are using between 16 and 32. Click OK. Now run the P3ProSwing™ program.
  See Figure 1a
  If full motion graphics still do not work return to the display ‘Settings’ tab and adjust the “Screen area’.
  See Figure 1b
• Under ‘Screen area’ select a resolution of 800x600. Click OK. Now run the P3ProSwing™ program. This will not reduce the size of the screen that you see but will reduce the pixels per square inch.
• If full motion graphics still do not work you may want to consider updating your drivers. Updating drivers is somewhat involved, and in the end may not improve your performance. Step 2 below describes how to update your driver.

Step 2: Updating your driver

You may be able to download a newer graphic driver from your graphic card provider that may allow full motion graphics. To determine your graphic card driver manufacturer and the version information:

• Right click your desktop background screen
• Select PROPERTIES
• Select SETTINGS
• Select ADVANCED
• Select ADAPTER

Now record your graphics card and version. You may update your card by

1. Clicking on Change Driver or Update Driver or
2. You may go to the Internet, find your graphic card provider and search for updates.

This later process may provide you with the absolute latest updates. Now re-open the P3ProSwing™ program.

If the P3ProSwing™ analysis program says that full motion graphics are still not available there are no more adjustments that can be made to accommodate full motion graphics. However except for the ball flight motion feature, all of the P3ProSwing™ swing analysis will still function and you will be able to play all of the games.
