Vista Welcome Center "Show more Details" Unavailable

First time poster, long time reader. I just built a custom pc. Everything is working great, except Vista. The problem however is not too big, but I'm still curious.



When I open the Welcome Center and click on the "Show more Details" tab to the right, it says that everything is "Not Available." I'll include a screen shot as well. Anyone seen this and have a fix? Thanks for the help.

 

Did you change any of your hardware, after you installed Vista?

 

Yes. But I only re-seated the heatsink with the same processor. I didn't get a good seating the first time, as my OC'ed temps were way too high, so I reapplyed AS5 and put heatsink back on. I can't remember if it started saying "not available" after that, but since then that's all it's been doing.



Any ideas?



Thanks for the help so far.

 

I know I've read instances of people installing new hardware and having Vista not recognize it properly. The only solution they offer is reinstalling the OS. Everest has some software that will show you your specs, if you need them. Other than that, that's all I can think of. I wouldn't think reseating the heatsink would do that, but you never know.

 

I think what he may mean is that it is not showing his processor.

 

You can also download and run CPU-Z. It's freeware and will display some specs about your processor and memory.

 

Here's some stuff you can try:



1) go to %SYSTEMROOT%\Performance\WinSat\DataStore

2) Delete all the .xml files in the folder.

3) Click Start, type performance information and tools in the Start Search box,

and then click Performance Information and Tools in the Programs list.

4) If the following information appears, click Refresh Now to update the Windows Experience Index:
