Good day gentlemen.
This laptop (details bellow) has a WEI of 4.3. It is asking for a refresh
because of new hardware (?). Nothing was changed since OS instalation,
except updated drivers.

PROBLEM:

Refreshing the WEI does not complete and it finish with the following
error:
"Cannot complete because of error reported from the operating system,
drivers or other component".

INFO:

This is the summary of the WEI:

Please advice if I am not in the correct forum for this problem.
Perhaps nobody is interested.
Cheers
 
Hi Norm and very grateful for your return.
The ATI card does have the driver version 8.383.1.1 which is the last
available and is detailed in the WEI report. I get my updates from a
customized page of Lenovo to the specific type of laptop model, in this case
a 2613CTO. The one strange item was that in the driver detail, there was
only one file listed. I reinstalled the driver through the properties and
the .inf (through setup failed, as keep asking for the .inf file, which it
could not find) and now there are 21 files specified in the drivers detail,
including the single one previously present, yet the pack still has the same
version. Of course, everything is working quite well.
Now WEI does not show the previous warning about a device changed and is not
requesting to be run, yet will still fail without completion and with same
error message.
I have tried analyzing the problem with Sysinternal/ProcesMonitor but the
log file generated is so big (180 Mb, 21 Mb as zip) that is impossible for
me to make any sense of it (I am no expert either). Of course, average ISP
will not accept it in emails, so I could not even send it to a friend.
Perhaps I should be happy with the index of 4.3.
Cheers
 
Oh, I failed to mention that in one of the procesmonitor log files, the
error seams to be past the ATI card.
