The windows experience rating for my machine is 1.0! It is being dragged
down by my video card, a Sapphire X1950 Pro with 512MB. The graphics and
gaming subscore is 1.0. I thought it might be problems with this video card
and I pulled it out and installed an ATI Radeon 850XL with 256MB - same
score. I tried the ATI latest drivers and earlier drivers, no change.

Everything seems to be working fine. The only thing I can see is an
exclamation mark, "! New hardware detected, your Windows Experience Index
needs to be refreshed" No matter how many time I refresh this index, I keep
getting this message.

This is obviously a problem with Vista and not with the video card. Is
there a way to correct this problem?
