Vista - Performance Aero

My performance rating for Aero was 2.7 and is now 2.0. How can I improve my performance rating?

Assuming you have not altered your computer setup: Make sure all hardware is
connected and drivers are up-to-date and functioning. Rerun the performance
check at a time when the computer is idle. Close down all open windows prior
to the check.

The performance rating is meaningless and does nothing but confuse

Is your computer slower than it used to be? Unless it is, ignore the
performance rating.

like system restore, performance rating is another useless feature of windows
vista. however, the rating that usually appears in that feature can be
altered by installing updates of your display driver, also upgrading the
display card (if any) to a card that supports aero.

after installing display driver updates - run the performance information
and tools from the control panel - then click on Update My Score. note that
the rating / score is determined by the LOWEST SubScore in the array.

yet - do not regard performance rating as reliable indicator.

I don't know about Performance Rating, but System Restore has saved by bacon
a few times. Yesterday I installed a program, something that was supposed
to display open windows across the screen like can be done on a Mac. It
didn't appear to work and the uninstaller stalled. System Restore made all
things good again.
