Vista - Win Exp Index Score

This is so stupid, but I have lost the Win Exp Index Score window. When I
loaded Vista there were links to rerunning it, etc, now I can't
find them. I go to Control Panel, Performace Information, then a screen
comes up that says "Not sure where to start??" What am I doing
wrong????
Thanks
Bill

Jim: Yep, did that. It shows my Experience score of 3.1, I click on the
link next to the score and it brings up that
same windw "Not sure where to start?". I must have lost a shortcut name or
something....

Well, what does it say below "Not sure where to start..."

It is supposed to open a new window with that phrase at the top with more
details below it (all your subscores).

I really think you will need to give us a screen shot to assist you
further - I'm not 100% sure what you are describing.

I have exactly the same problem as Billy - running Ultimate x64. The
window is completely blank apart from the "Not sure where to start?"
line and, just beneath that, a line saying:"Last rating: 30/01/2007
04:05:20". Next to "Not sure where to start?" is a hyperlink - "Learn
how you can improve your computer's performance" but that doesn't work
at all. It all used to work a couple of weeks ago - i.e. I got the
full breakdown of sub-scores and an option to retest - but it's
definitely broken now...

And (this may or may not be relevant) I've noticed that a lot of
graphics in the help system seem to have been replaced with red Xs.

Any help much appreciated.

Steve

Mine shows the same as well.
It worked once... set a initial score of 3.1 and then quit.

I have found a sort of work around.. although the only thing it will do is
give you a new number... so it doesn't fix anything.
Start/run Winsat formal
Or run that from a command prompt.
It runs all the tests and puts the file where it should be, but it doesn't
fix the graphical problem of this.
