Windows Experience Index not refreshing

[VistaInAZ]

Been working with all the releases of vlite through 1.1RC. Have used it with Vista Ultimate. Only problem is WEI. It does the initial assessment fine and gives me a score, but if I try to refresh it, say, after a driver update, it gives an error and then the score turns from blue to gray and says "Windows Experience Index is unrated".

It won't update the \windows\performance\winsat\datastore\*.xml file. I've even tried to run WinSAT from a command prompt using the various documented switches with the same results.

I don't think I removed anything that WinSAT needs as it does one assessment fine. And I haven't used TweakVista as I've seen the posts concerning some registry values affecting WEI.

Here's my last session.ini file:

Could it be one of the services I removed? I paid extra attention to the last .iso I made and I leave the component dependency check turned on.

Any assistance would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Gary ;^)

Gonna check it later on but until then you could try the new 1.1Final version. Let me know if you do and next time attach the preset, don't paste it whole in the post.

Nuhi,

Reinstalled Vista Ultimate a little while ago using Vlite 1.1 Final and no problem refreshing WEI.

Vlite wasn't the problem. I had deleted a *.prx file from \windows folder which caused the problem.

Thanks for a great product.

Gary

Ok, thx for the info.
