  I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE 64 BIT. AND THE BASE SCORE IS 5.9 ON ALL LEVELS! HAVE YOU TRIED WINDOWS 7 RC AND THE BASE OF THIS SCORE WAS 7.9 AT ALL LEVELS! YOU DO AN UPDATE FOR THIS PROBLEM? I AM A VERY AVID GAMER AND LIKE TO KEEP THE BEST EQUIPTMENT IN MY COMPUTER! AT THE PRESENT TIME, I CAN'T SAY WHAT I MAY NEED TO UPGRADE TO INCREASE MY BASE SCORE AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT! I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER PLAYERS OUT THERE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM! I HAVE A FEW FRIENDS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME SOME KIND OF ANSWER? I WAS ASKED THIS QUESTION TO YOU MEMBERS OF THE TEAM FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW AND DO NOT HAVE A DIRECT ANYONE ANSWER! WANT TO A RESPONSE FROM SOMEONE AT MICROSOFT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, DAVE EMRICK

  I need advice on how to upgrade my computer! Mr. TEEN geek! If I did, I would have asked!
  Obviously, microsoft has hired incompitent people manage their business for them!
  Oh by the way if you knew what that this SSD are not as fast as a raid to date configuration!
  Compared to the money that you spend and if you kept processors you would have told me that a new processor was underway to replace the 975!
  And it's MY money that pays your salary!

  You did ask what it takes to upgrade Mister! I quote: at the MOMENT I can NOT SAY this THAT I may NEED TO upgrade TO INCREASE MY BASE SCORE AND AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!
  I am not an employee of Ms.
  SSD can reach speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s while PCI-Express. Hard drives, even in RAID 0 can not.
  I didn't know that Intel has been relseasing a new processor, is simply not yet out.
  If you pay my pay check you are breaking Canadian Law, as a person of 15 years I'm not allowed to work for anyone but family.
  You said: SO GO COME AND MAKE FUN OF MY QUESTIONS SILLY! I did fun to all your questions. I gave you a compliment (you have a great computer!). But you do care, you act as if you're the boss and you are the only person on Earth.

• Qosmio F30-117: how to calculate the Win Vista experience Index Graphics score?

  My F30-117 has a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 of type graphics card. WIE gives a score of graphics of * 4.9 based on the following information:

  399 MB total available graphics memory
  128 MB dedicated graphics memory
  0 MB dedicated system memory
  271 MB shared system memory

  However my G40-108 has a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT type graphics card. WIE only gives a score of graphics of * 4.4 based on the following information:

  1791 MB total available graphics memory
  512 MB dedicated graphics memory
  0 MB dedicated system memory
  1279 MB shared system memory

  Someone knows why? The two PCs have the latest drivers and all the Windows updates available. Both are running Vista Ultimate. If something I expect the scores to be the other way around!

  Hello

  The functionality of Windows Vista experience Index that is designed to help better understand
  How Windows Vista and other software will perform on your computer.
  As I know the Windows experience index scale varies from 1.0 to 5.9.
  A higher base score means that your computer run better as a computer with a lower score.

  I don t want to explain the characteristics of everything because there are a lot of pages useful Microsoft that already provides this information:

  Check this box:

• Satellite A100 - low Windows Vista performance index

  Hey there,

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A100 just for more than a year now with Vista Home Premium. I recently formatted the laptop and installed Vista Business. When I got Home Premium, my 'Windows experience index' (found in Control Panel > system) has been a 3.0 for the graphics. Under Business, is however now that 1.0. I guess that it has not detected the graphics hardware on my laptop.

  How do it detects hardware?

  > I guess that it has not detected the graphics hardware on my laptop.

  I put t know what do you say that it has not detected the graphic material, but you should definitely check out if the graphic and other driver drivers Toshiba have been installed on your laptop properly.

  In addition, the Windows Vista experience index can change and can go down if more programs are installed on the system.
  I noticed that my Windows Vista performance index decreases every time if a 3rd party application has been installed and then removed from the system.

  In my opinion, Windows Vista index experience might be less because you have installed a newer version of the Vista operating system which contains functions of Vista more and so would need of more resources.

  Best regards

• Higher of Windows Experience Index rating with OLD machines

  I'm a computer technician at the Brazil. I noticed that a few old machines, certain factors, have better performance than current. The difference is not visible in the points leader, but in use. Open programs or install a LOT more quickly. When this happened, the performance index, marks high score for HD as 7.3 for common HDD Samsung F3 (different from normal 5.9). Stroller?
  Anyone know anything about this?

  Examples:

  Machine 1:

  Motherboard: ECS A785GM-M

  Processor: Athlon X 4 640

  RAM: 2 x 2 GB Kingston DDR3 1333 Mhz

  HARD drive: Samsung 1 TB

  HD Wei score: 7.3

  Machine 2:

  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H

  CPU: Intel i7 2500 K
  RAM: 4 x 4 GB Kingston DD3 1333 Mhz

  HDD: Raid0 2 x HD 1 TB SATA3 SEAGATE 7200 RPM ST100DM003

  HD Wei score: 6.1

  The first machine, "slower" than the second victory of common (open, install, manipulate programs, etc.). In the benchmarks, the second victory. Together with the operating system Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with updated drivers.

  Sorry my bad English.

  Hello VbCrayon,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Score index performance Windows (WEI) rates your computer on the five main elements, giving you a number for each. Your base score overall, the one that really counts, is as good as your worst performing component. If your video card and monitor are top of the range, but the capabilities of your processor or memory trolling, the primary partition of WEI will be the same as that obtained by the
  slower part.

  This may not seem fair. But for the average PC user, a low or intermediate Windows experience index score is very good. Your computer will be powerful enough to run the popular Microsoft Office programs (such as Microsoft Word), surf the Internet, store and edit photos, and communicate via a webcam.

  Windows Experience Index measures the capability of the hardware and software of your computer configuration and expresses this measurement as a number called a base score. A higher base score means that your computer will perform better and faster than a computer with a score of lower base, especially when more advanced and resource-intensive tasks running.

  Each hardware component receives an individual under-score. Your computer
  base score is determined by the lowest subscore.

• t440p i5 4200 m windows low experience index

  Hello, I have this laptop (t440p with 4200 m i5 processor and 4 GB of ram) since may, and the first time I run the windows index of experience, I had 3.8 in cpu. A few days later, after updating the bios and re - run this index, I am 5.1 in cpu and am very happy!

  Last month, I connected a duplicator from Lenovo and re - run index. This time, I got 4.9 in cpu.

  A few days ago, I bought 16 GB of ram and the ultra docking station, and after the installation of ram I raise the index. Now, I got 3.7 in cpu!

  This number does not change. I get the same index number for cpu with or without docking station.

  So, what happens? Any ideas?

  Are there settings in the bios maybe? (Installed bios is GLET70WW (2.24) 21/05/2014).

  Someone with the same computer laptop, what index you get for cpu?

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  Ian

  Last night I did a lot of research and reading, and I found it!

  The solution is here: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Why-are-my-Windows-Experience-Index-scores-so-...

  With two words? Always have the battery connected and use the 90W Adapter. Most of the time, I had the battery away (trying to preserve life) and I used the adapter 65W (trying to keep the green planet...)

  When I handed over the battery and connected my t440p to the adapter 90W, after the execution of windows experience index, I saw a wonderful 7.2 next cpu!

  I swear, I will never take the battery out of my t440p more!

  Anyway, thanks to you all.

• Vista Search & indexing does not work

  When I go to Control Panel/Indexing Options/Advanced/show Options all the locations of some files are to check, but the OS(c:) est grisée.) I had turned off at the same time & now cannot get it turned back on.

  How to make this work?

  Why indexing taking so long?

  Why can't stop indexing or turn it off for awhile (it interferes with other programs sometimes)?

  Why seek complex with a bunch of drop downs and it usually does not even get just a subfolder. I searched (using the F command) 3 letters in a title only and got a response from an area not indexed that contains NONE of the letters, and it took several minutes. @!

  Some MS answers say to use the troubleshooting Index feature, but it doesn't seem to be indexing window.

  Hello

  These two showed more problems of search for Windows 7, however, they also seem to be
  able to affect Vista as well.

  
  1. one thing that seems to have an impact on several is the bit REACH has been set on some files
  Index cannot be set and search for cannot be found. So the ATTRIB-a *. * bps, which means archive
  is REMOVED for the files in the folder/directory Parent (top) and those in all the subfolders/sup-
  directories.

  Check out this link.

  How to play and off the read-only file and folder attribute in Windows (see the second method)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/63741-read-only-file-folder-attribute.html

  ------------

  2 another problem seems to be McAfee and some other antivirus programs are interfering with the
  Index or search functions. McAfee, must be uninstalled using the uninstall routine in
  Windows AND the removal of McAfee too of course no remains are left. (Possibly other antivirus
  programs are also what causes this error.) Of course, you want to move to another antivirus
  MSE (Microsoft Essentials), Avast or other.

• Windows Vista / Aero on my Equium M70

  Hello. I just downloaded Windows Vista RC1 for my M70 that only, I bought a couple of months it is from Curry. It has Vista capable sticker on it and the seller has confirmed that Vista will work properly with 3D enhancements.

  Of course, I want to have a full experience of Windows Vista. Yet, Windows Aero does not work on my machine because of the graphics card: Mobile Intel (r) 82915 GM/GMS/910GML. I didn't bother installing the basic version again. I did some research for the past hours. The equipment meets the requirements of Vista but it's the Intel driver that needs to be updated and Intel have yet to put the pilot. I sent them an email about this, and they said that it is not their policy to disclose information about software that may or may not be current. They also stressed that Vista is not officially released yet.

  What I want to know is, Intel released a driver for my machine/chipset compatible with Windows Aero, even after that Vista has been officially released? He has seriously upset that my laptop, that I spent so much may not be at the height.

  Help, please!

• In a x 64 VMware virtual Windows Vista Business Edition PC, the Windows experience index assessment "cannot be completed."

  I tried to rate of virtual Vista WEI... three times. All three times, the assessment completed, but I got an error message after he ended saying that WEI assessment cannot be completed. Here is what the error message says Word for Word:
  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
  Windows experience index...

  Cannot complete the assessment.

  The assessment or other operation did not completely succeed.   This is due to an error reported from the operating system, driver or other component.
  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
  These extra spaces have been in the error message - I DON'T work the SPACEBAR twice more by mistake. What should I do about it? But hey, at least I can use Windows Aero.

  Just checked the RAM card on the virtual machine, and it is 128 bytes. Not megabytes or kilobytes, a few bytes. I'll see if I can adjust the amount of video RAM in BIOS and see if that solves the problem.
