Vista - Windows Experience Index Unrated

When I click on Refresh or Update the score, the computer goes through the
checking process the sub scores are there but the Graphics and Gaming
Graphics only have a score of 1.0
I have a Nividia 8600 GT Graphics with 256mb It is a New computer, only one
week old with Intel CPU and Motherboard 2Gb of RAM.
At the bottom of the WEI page it states Last Rating: 14/06/2012 4:10:51 PM
and that is what it remains at. The Base Score reads 1.0 but it is greyed out
The other scores are 5.5 5.5 and 5.4 they also do not change. Help would be
very much appreciated.

Hello,

have you tried updating your graphics drivers? This could help.

Please report whether it helped anything.

First make sure you have the drivers installed as suggested by P. Di Stolfo.
If you still cannot update the WEI, then delete the files in
C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore (copying the files to another folder
will also work if you don't like to delete them)

Exactly what for help are you looking ? The index is the lowest score - in
your case "1" - the Graphics and Gaming index is not a critical index. BTW
5.9 is the highest posssible score.

Thank you MrSlartybartfast, I did exactly what you said and I now have a
Graphics of 5.9 and Gaming Graphics of 5.6 I did copy files to another
folder, now I can delete the old files with safety. Many, Many thanks to you
and to the others that made suggestions.

Thank you, it worked for me as well...I was kinda scared when my
Nvidia XTX 8800 Ultra Extreme kept showing index of 1
