Can my graphics card support Acceleration?

I don't know if it can. FSX Acceleration has SP2 already in it and when I installed SP2 (I have Deluxe) a window pops up saying that my graphics card cannot support FSX, and I need to uninstall SP2.
Assuming it can't, any reccomendations?

What graphics card do you have?
You can try getting the latest drivers, see if that makes any difference.
But really, SP2 isn't much different to Acceleration; both have the same fixes. Acceleration just adds planes, scenery and compatibility for aircraft carriers.

I really don't know, I'm running Vista Home Premium (SP2) on a 32 bit PC. 3.00 GB of RAM Dual Core, 2.00 GHz.
If that doesn't help, how do I find out about it?

Go to Start menu of Windows, and choose "Run".
Type "dxdiag" and press enter.
A window will appear after a few seconds. Go to the "Display" tabstrip, the name of your video card should appear there.
