    Well, I thought the m1530 was suppose to have decent graphics... I open up Performance Information and Tools and it's a base score of 1.0 :O

    Is this right?
    I have 1.0 for graphics and gaming graphics.

    1. Stop looking at the WEI. I've said this so many times it's getting really annoying.

    2. You actually have to run the WEI first. Amazing how that works huh?

    Windows experience Index - It's meant to benchmark how good the computer is and comes in Vista

    Windows Experience Index. The thing you're looking at.

    And it is NOT a benchmark about how good your computer is. It's more of a random number generator.

    Ok I see, didn'tk now u have to run it first
    it now says 4.8, the reason I was asking is I've applied a new theme to vista with windowblinds, the only issue is that all the default buttons has an ugly border around them. It's not the theme, it's my computer, just not sure why cos I have the appropriate drivers and everything.
