    Hey guys, I just got my m1330 today and after installing the latest video driver for my 8400 GS from LaptopVideo2Go, windows vista rating doesnt work properly. After I press refresh score, it performs some operations but does not update the score. Anyone know how to fix that?

    What do you mean it doesn't update? Does it remain the same? Drop to 1.0? What?

    It stays at 1.0. It seems that Vista never ran the video card test in the benchmarks.

    BTW, I am using 167.45 drivers.

    Ummmm, that's not the latest, is it? I have 169.09, same card, and it's working fine. (WEI, that is).

    \\edit

    Oh, good. :D

    Should I update it to the latest one? My WEI is 4.1 for the card.

    As has been said quite a bit, WEI is not that important, but by all means go for the more recent ones.....just find one you're comfortable with.
