    just recieved this awsome laptop, and reinstalled it due to hard drives having 2 partitions on each of the drives. after i installed everythin, i updated the drivers, and not that it matters but the windows score shows the graphics and gaming graphics as a 1.0, so i reinstalled the drivers and checked again. and still a 1.0. so far from what i can tell everyhin is working, resolution is right, havent tried to play a game yet, still gettin the important stuff on here. suggestions to y this would be happening, and should i be concerned?

    ya this was after i updated the score, but could it mean somethins wrong, im able to see all the nvidia console, tried a bluray movie, everyhin seemed to b acting the way it should, doesnt feel like its overheating or anything, no usua vid card probs, just this little thing where windows doesnt recognize its proper score.

    Did you switched off User Account Control before installing the Asus Drivers DVD?

    I didn't liked the 4 partition setup and did a system recovery to set the partitions to my likings. Installed Vista fine but switched off UAC before installing the drivers DVD and got some weird things in Vista. I did notice I had a Windows score of 1.0 even without clicking the rate text. I did a system recovery again but this time I didn't switched off the UAC thing before the drivers installation and everything went fine. Vista is working great. The System Properties window didn't showed any score, just the "Click here to rate" text like the first time I used the computer. Did a rating and got the same rating as before the first system recovery.

    If your getting a 1.0 for graphics 99.8% chance that means the video drivers did not install or install correctly.

    Also make sure you have your INF drivers and all that jazz installed. Also dont forget to just reboot the PC after heavy installation of drivers so it can all fully install and initiate.
