I just installed a new Video card (EVGA GeForce 9500 GT (1Gb DDR2), and I
wanted to see how that affected my Windows Experience Index, but when I open
the tool for that from Control Panel -> Performance Information and Tools,
the window's main frame is mostly empty. All I get is "Rate and Improve your
computer's performance", with "Not sure how to start?" below, and "Learn how
to improve your computer's performance" next to that in greyed-out text
(inactive link?)

Under that, it just gives the date of the last rating, which was when I
first got the computer back in September. The page is blank from there, down.
I've left the page open for a time, in case it was still loading the
information, but no effect.

How can I get it to show the Windows Experience Index information again?

Thanks. I had another issue preventing services from running when I tried to
use the fix, but after eliminating that problem, the reg file fix worked
fine, thank-you.

Although, there was one problem — it's not affecting the functioning of
Vista as far as I know — but that page offered two ways to solve the problem.
The second, altering the Registry, worked fine, but the first option involved
using the Group Policy Editor. When I tried to run GPEDIT.MSC, my computer
didn't find that file. Should I be concerned about that file missing?
