SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a computer that is running Windows Vista, you may notice that your computer’s Windows Experience Index score has changed. For most computers, the Windows Experience Index score does not change after this service pack is installed.
Back to the topCAUSE
Windows Vista SP1 corrects the way that the Windows Experience Index score is calculated for certain hardware configurations. In Windows Vista SP1, the Windows Experience Index score more accurately reflects the ability of the computer to support Windows Vista features. After you install the service pack, this score may drop by 0.1 or 0.2 points.
