This isn't video-related. Game posts usually go in the Off Topic forum. Moving ....

sounds like your graphics are set too low. Might want to start there. Many of these newer games require high video settings.

I just hope that you meet the minimum requirements ..

Some information would be useful, like your computer specifications for a start. Hard to tell what the problem is with little to go on.

i just need to know where you can change your hardware (dvd player) settings ,hardware accelator settings,somebody knows it .thx

Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshoot

From there, it depends on what video card you are using. You should see a slider for acceleration. I suspicion it is set on max already. You might have to lower resolution or number of colors to make the game work if you have a slow card. Refer to your computer or video card manual.
