Hi James

I'm not sure what you mean by "doesn't show any more". Do you mean you don't
even get the "Performance information and Tools" in Control Panel? Or that
the applet still apears, but it refuses to update your existing score?.
Anyway ... you can run the Performance Rating tool (winsat.exe) from the
command line. This might help reveal the problem; and it will refresh your
current performance data :-

Go to Start menu and find Command Prompt in Accessories.

Right-click and choose Run as Administrator, to open an Administrative
Prompt

Type in these commands:

C:\> cd C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore

C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore>mkdir Saved

C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore>copy * Saved

C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore>del *
C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y

C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore> cd \

C:\>winsat formal -v

Winsat will take a couple of minutes to run. Once winsat has completed
running, it will return to a command prompt.

C:\>

Type "exit" to leave the Command Prompt.

Now, go back to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, System, Check your
system's Windows Experience Index base score. You should see updated
performance data.

Obviously if you get any error messages along the way, make a note of them
and report back to the newsgroup.

You can also catenate the verbose output of Winsat to a file:

C:\>winsat formal -v > MyPerf.log

and inspect the myperf.log to get all the grizzly details. Run "winsat /?'
for more details about command line options.

Hope it helps!

Your description is not enough to tell me if your problem is the same as one
that I had, but if it is, this link may help - it was posted by someone here
a few weeks ago when I lost my access to the experience index, and following
these instructions got it back.

I have the same problem. I tried both methods and it still did not work. I'm
going to update my drivers again.

I'm also having a problem with mine.

My "Rating:" is blank, and for Processor: along with Memory (RAM):, it
says "Not Available" . This also happens on my gf's computer. This
is related to a problem where the Network Icon was showing a red "X"
and when you hover over it, it would say "Connection status unknown,
Server execution failed"

Please let me know if anyone has found a solution to this problem.
