I had the same message in the config screen.
I went to dxdiag and on the Display tab Direct 3D Acceleration showed
as enabled and the button showed "Disable".
When I clicked on the button it said "This will enable Direct 3D
acceleration". So I clicked OK.
On going back to the config for F1 2001 it now was OK and showed my
Video Card in the box at the bottom.
This tip was given to me by another poster on this site.
Give it a try!
Apparently this is a bug in some installations of DirectX 8.1.
Hope this helps
