    Last night, while watching a movie, I noticed Aero turned off and my fan running high. winsat.exe was the cause. How do I turn off automatic system assessment?

    I love how the test decides to run itself randomly and then spit out a 2.~ score for graphics cause I'm running at 275/550/250 MHz.
