Hi, I've had the same problem. I think you're running a windows, so I'm gonna run you through on how to fix this on it. Mouse over your desktop (where all the icons are) and right click. Click on "Properties" on the popup GUI. "Display Properties" will pop up. Hit the "Settings" tab on this pop up. This will show a different screen of the gui, showing a small computer screen with a picture on it. Just below the strange coloring will be "Troubleshoot..." and "Advanced". Click on "Advanced". This should bring up another pop-up. Click on the "Troubleshoot" tab on this new pop-up. This will show your "Hardware acceleration." You want to have it on full acceleration. This will use your graphics card to it's fullest, allowing Terraria to be played. I'm guessing the reason it's saying this is because you've altered the acceleration for a random reason before. The most common reason this would be changed is for the game Minecraft, which requires the hardware acelleration to be on the third notch.

If you continue to recieve this message, you may have to get a new graphics card. Good luck!
