    having issues with WEI for my graphics


    I'm having issues with WEI for my graphics. When I rate the PC after basic driver installs it gives an OK score (5.9 due to graphics).
    When I install AMD Catalyst drivers, it says that I need to refresh, but it gives an error with video. I do not have any third party codes installed at the moment. I tried to open the WinSat folder and tried to run the videos there, some ran, but some give error. Please help on how to solve this problem.

    PS: I feel WEI is important, but if computer has higher rating, then I see that overall performance is much better than not having WEI at all, or having a low WEI. Not sure if anyone else noticed this.

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    Have you contacted AMD or monitored their forums for others with the same ?

    I'm very unaware of AMD products but did you clean install the recent driver ?

    You are right. It has got to do something with drivers. With a set of older drivers I was able to get a score. After updating drivers it gave errors. For now I have edited the scores in XML files.
