Windows 7 Experience Index Incorrectly Accesses Harddrive?
Jan 22, 2012
I know this is nitpicky and rather insane but i have a sata 3 hard drive using a sata 3 cable plugged into a sata 3 controller and windows only rates my HDD transfer rate as 5.9 (eg sata 2) and i know this is nitpicky but what do i need to do to fix that
I recently installed a new hyper 212 cooler. After doing so I downloaded the Intel Burn Tool and ran it a few time to make sure my temps were fine. Now I can't run the WEI program?
My Windows experience index is 5.5, can I increase it?My Computer is an Intel DH67BL_ Motherboard Intel i7 2600 3.4GHz CPU 16 GB of memory, 500 GB Seagate SATA hard drive, running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
I have an Asus G73SW Republic of Gamers laptop. Systems specs are an i7 2630QM 2.0ghz cpu, 16GB of ram, 1TB and 500GB, Nvidia GeForce 460m 1.5g of mem. My question is looking at other people that have the same machine are rating at around 7 on the processor part of the WEI, but I am rating a 4.7!!!!! I have also seen many machines at work that have far lower processing power that rate a higher score than I do.
I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop a few days ago, and am trying to get the Windows Experience Index generated. However, I get a message saying that it couldn't be completed due to an error. Here is the info from the winsat.log file: Code:
My Windows Experience index is not working. I click on "rate this computer", and nothing happens. My old scores are gone, but I haven't tried using it in probably 4 months. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1 OS Version 6.1.7601.
I have core2duo T6600 2.20ghz cpu, 4 gb(2.75gb usable) ram installed on my system, 500 gb hdd, and 512 mb dedicated nvidia graphics memory. Still my windows experience index is 3.4 only. Is there any way to increase it. Due to low WEI I face problems in playing some games.
I have a problem (though I think it is minor because my system recovers quite well from it after restarting). Basically, I overclocked my CPU to 4.19 gHz and everything is running smoothly (also got a Radeon 7770 HD graphics card) so I decided to redo my WEI score and close to the end of the CPU test the computer crashed and went to the blue screen of death before restarting again. Everything seems fine with my computer but I'm not sure what the problem might be. [code]
So I keep getting this error when trying to run WEI so that I can get the previews for the taskbar.
-- Error message -- The Windows Experience Index for your system could not be computed. Could not measure storage performance. Error: Failed to properly assess the disk. The data is invalid. -- End error message --
i own dell vostro 1400, c2d 1.6ghz, 4 gb ddr2 ram (2x2gb), windows 7 ultimate 32 bits.
i was very happy with the performance but suddenly it has become extremely slow to use. it becomes quite unresponsive even for simple tasks like watching Internet in browser. i check windows experience index and found out that processor and memory subscores are very low.
I have sony Vaio VPCEC290X before Windows Experience Index was 5.1 but now it reduced to 3.5 i have update to latest bios a i have check power settings cleaned laptop dust also but the score is still 3.5 what might be the problem i have contact sony care also they checked and told nothing problem with your hardware
I'm curious to see what kind of numbers people have gotten for the primary hard disk data transfer rate. Under Vista I scored 5.9 on all tests as it was as high as the numbers would go.
After a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate, I was quite surprised to find my primary hard disk score remained at a 5.9. My boot drive is made up of 2 10,000RPM cheetah SATA drives in a RAID stripe (RAID0). I'm wondering if this test is still maxed out at 5.9. If you got higher than 5.9, what kind of drive are you using? I'm sure SSD's score higher.
Several weeks back I started getting an error every time I ran the WEI in one of my computers. It would stop near the end of its run with the following error:The Windows Experience Index for Your System Could Not be Computed Could not measure storage performance.Error: Failed to properly asses the disk.The parameter is incorrect.(Parameter ??? There's nothing I like better than a nice cryptic explanation)And get this... Today I ran the WEI on my 2nd computer and now it's producing this same error. And yet, both computer's HDDs check out fine, There are no flags in Device Manager, and no problems elsewhere.I haven't done anything pertaining to the HDD in either machine. If I remember correctly, I noticed the problem after swapping the graphics cards between machines, although I can't understand why that would affect the HDD error in WEI. In both instances I did a clean re-install of the latest drivers. Both systems are kept clean of garbage and both are running Win7x64.
what the difference is between the graphics rating and gaming graphics rating in the Windows Experience Index? Which is more important? Because my graphics has the lowest subscore of 5.8 and my gaming graphics has a subscore of 6.7.
I can't run the Windows Experience Index after performing some hardware changes. Since two weeks ago when I first had the issue, I have tried rebooting, upgrading the SSD, and upgrading the graphics card. I have also done a search on Google.

When the PC came, it had a rating of 4.5, the lowest being the Gaming graphics section. Right now, that section is 4.2 and has established the baseline. I did the custom option and wiped my entire hard disk, created new partitions according to my need and installed the windows on a newly created and formatted partition.
Before I began installation, I backed up a folder called 'drivers' located in the root folder of the OS partition. This is what I used to update all of my drivers after the installation.
My PC is a Dell Latitude E5410. - Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x86 - PC's hard drive capacity is about 240 GB but when it came it only had a single partition of 116 GB - I don't have the original disks that came with the PC.
Is there any way I can get back to my original rating?
When I run the WEI I receive an error that says video playback cannot be completed. I have updated all video drivers. I have a NVIDIA GEForce GTS 250. Below is a copy of the error log.
I have never gotten this to work on any of my desktop computers once I upgrade them. On the laptops, it runs fine every time. The error happens at the end and gives the normal "could not measure storage performance. error: failed to properly assess the disk. The parameter is incorrect."
I previously had vista installed and it performed smoothly.I did a Windows 7(x64) clean install and i kept getting the usual "cannot complete the assessment error".
I updated all BIOS-graphic card drivers and still no solution.
Why does Windows 7 automatically reindex my index search file when I reboot the computer.I have 300,000 files on my computer and it takes two days to rebuild the index. I leave my computer on all the time because I am afraid that by turning it off and on again will cause the indexing function to restart the index.How can I stop this reindexing function from starting on its own.
I buy a data bundle to access the net on my computer from a mobile phone operator.I pay per meg and I get so frustrated when some impertinent background program jumps on the network to download megs of data every time I connect using up my data minutes without my consent!Iv tried turning off automatic Windows and antivirus updates, but still I dont know what is abusing my network connection every time I go online!Is there any way I can block ALL network accesses except from the browser, for instant, so I can enjoy browsing without worrying about what may be raking up my data bill in the background?
As my school project I, with help, have created a remotely controlled real-time closed circuit TV system for the school so that teachers can post messages on TVs, sort of like an information board system. One way to leave a message is through a website with a java applet.The applet we made works fine on windows xp, but works curiously on windows 7. It runs in the browser and asks the client to accept the certificate, but when the user clicks on run the applet doesn't come up. It's there, the buttons come up if you move the mouse pointer over them and the text becomes visible if you press ctrl+a. It works too, all the functions work properly, if you can navigate. It works in windows 7 safe mode though. I've tried turning of services, making a clean boot, running the browser in safe mode and changing the html tags (applet, object, embed) and nothing's working. It's not the firewall or antivirus. It's just something with windows 7. I need to fix it- half the teachers have windows 7.
I've managed to narrow the problem down. The applet apparently works fine in windows 7 with the colors turned down to 16 bits. Doesn't work in 32 bits mode on windows 7, but works in both modes on xp. Now, it's not the graphic card I've tested with others OSs on same computers. Firefox I can set to start in XPsp3 compatibility mode in properties and it works even in 32bit color mode on windows 7. But Internet Explorer can't be set to start in the compatibility mode because it's part of this version of windows Due to this undesirable problem I will have to configure computers of the entire staff. I've even tried tweaking with the graphic card properties hoping there'd be a box to uncheck somewhere. Without positive outcome. Switching all computers to 16-bit mode seems pretty intrusive as it disables Windows Live Thumbnails and Aero Peak. I'm looking for a way to make it work for the teachers without them having to edit advanced settings or decreasing functionality of their computers. If there is an advanced setting to be changed, the schools computer service will do it.
can't seem to find a way to permanently fix it. The problem is that Windows 7 doesn't display Japanese fonts and instead just displays squares. I've tried deleting the font cache and letting Windows rebuild that. Worked for about 2 restarts and then the fonts weren't being displayed anymore.I've tried changing the system locale (for non-unicode programs). That fixes it but I get yen symbols instead of forward slashes in file paths, as well as other symbols being replaced. Creating a new user account seems to fix things but I'm the only one that uses my computer so having another account and having to select my own account on login is annoying. I have the Japanese keyboard added as well as Microsoft IME.I've found that just restarting a few times normally gets the fonts to display correctly but most times that I boot up the fonts aren't displayed correctly.
Specs: Windows 7 Pro 64bit (had the same problem in 32-bit W7 Pro) 8GB RAM i5-2500k @ 3.3 GHz Programs where fonts don't display correctly: uTorrent, Foobar, windows explorer
And before someone mentions language packs and the Ultimate version of 7, no, I don't want to change my input language. I would just like to display Japanese. This can, and has been, done in the professional version.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case I genuinely can't think how to explain in prose. So please see the link below to a screenshot of the problem.[URL]
when i write som thing ,with using i,u,m,l,k,j,p,keys it displays numbers marked on same keys not the latters.when use those keys with Fn key then works properly.
I'm having a bit of trouble with a desktop icon that is displaying incorrectly.Basically when the shortcut is placed on the desktop, the shortcut icon is displaying a different icon that what it should, however, if I then drag the shortcut into say, a folder, the shortcut icon is then correct.I have tried:
Deleting the Thumbs.db Deleting the Icon Cache & Restarting Re-installing the Software
This is only apparent on one of my windows 7 machines, on the other three machines I have the problem does not occur.
