Low WEI score after Windows update?

I bought a new laptop - ACER 5745G.

After the initial Windows 7 64bit installation my scores were 6.6, 5.9, 5.9, 6.0 and only the Graphics for Areo a 4.9. Since I mostly want to use this laptop for watching HD videos, I figured those are scores aren't low and was satisfied.

However, after automatic updates were installed all scores went down at least 1.0 point.

I tried installing a driver from NVIDIA's website, I tried changing performance settings but nothing made it better - instead in the end the graphics for aero score became 3.7.

I used system restore to get the laptop back to the date before some automatic updates were installed but I don't think I can make it stay like this forever. Or can I?

I would appreciate any advice you can give along with opinion as to what the normal/average WEI score for a laptop is. Am I expecting too much?

Thank you in advance!





( Acer 5745G has:

4GB RAM
Intel® Core™ i5- 430M (2.26 GHz) processor
NVIDIA GeForce 310M (512 mb )
500 GB hard disk

 

This has been discussed to death not only on NBR, but on dozens of other internet forums. Disregard WEI numbers. They mean absolutely nothing and will change if you sneeze at it.

Saying that, you should be using Acer approved drivers if they're not too out of date.

 

This ^^^^

WEI is a waste of time. I don't even run the benchmark test.
