My vista score will not update? it's detecting new hardware after updating the score?

Just installed vista on my new board which is an PQ5-EM. I installed intels latest graphics drivers which enabled the areo effects. Problem is that when i update my score or refresh the rating which is grey after detecting new hardware it still stays grey and does not update the score? it still has new hardware detected after running the update my score option?

Any one have any ideas as to why it's doing this?

Try THIS it may help.

Also go to your bios and set PEG as the display type since your using onboard graphics.

I tryed the other updates on the "click me" link you gave thanks, i needed a few of them but they never solved the problem. I finally found a solution on another thread
I did this.

Go to, C:\windows\performance\winsat
delete winsat.txt
open the datascore folder and delete all .xml files that you find.
go to performance settings and rate your pc.
Works fine now.
