Magix MEP 2016+ "No Hardware Acceleration" when rendering a BDR, why?

I am rendering a Blu-ray using MEP 2016+, but it says, "(No hardware acceleration)" during the rendering process. Does anyone know why? I never had this problem with MEP 2015+ or MEP 2014+. I haven't changed anything in my computer, except that I added a bigger SSD drive. (500 gig) When I attempt to render the same BDR in MEP 2015+ or 2014+, it renders fine, without the no acceleration nomenclature, and it only takes 2-3 hours, as opposed to 14-16 hours with 2016+. Is there a setting that I have to make or tick in the new version? So far, this BDR has been rendering for 6.5 hours, and it states that it has 8.5 more hours to go.

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. I have 10 gig of DDR2 RAM, an NVidia GTX-460 GPU, with 1 gig of DDR3 RAM, and I have a total of 3 terrabytes of SATA HDD & SSD space. My CPU is overclocked at 3.4 GHz. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like I'm not the only one with a processing (rendering, exporting) speed problem with MEP 2016.

This problem is only occuring when rendering a BDR with MEP2016+. I rendered the same exact project with the previous version, MEP2015+, and it rendered normally, and within 3 hours. Not sure why this is happening. I've resorted to using MEP2015+ again, until someone can explain why this is happening with the latest version of MEP when rendering BDRs. (It renders DVDs very quickly. Faster than MEP2015+, but does poorly with BDRs)

. . . . NVidia GTX-460 . . . .

Check in the NVidia control panel that MEP 2016 is set to use the GPU - see this topic (Thanks to JohnnyO for this one)

Also see this post in particular the 3rd answer down by SceneStealer.
