I Restored to a day or so beforehand, which killed off ActivePerl, but.. working for now.

I've just been browsing the TechNet forums, and quite a few people have the same problem. Can you go into Windows Update without Explorer crashing? I can't, and they can't seem to either. The plot thickens!

MSIexec keeps bombing out before installers/MSI packages can even start. This.. is obviously the opposite of good. I REALLY hope I don't have to reinstall due to this.. Is it possible that either msiexec.exe or ntdll.dll have become corrupted in some way? In which case, should I try and pull...

Hm.. just tried disabling both Document Scanning and Real-Time Scanning in NOD32 (beta of v.4.x), didn't help any.

Yeah, Word 2007 is pretty slow on my end, too. The splash screen, for instance takes about.. 45 seconds to close and actually enter the program.

Word on the street is that the test is configured to give higher scores to SSD drives. So, the scale has changed..

I don't see how that'd affect anything, but yes, my settings are all the same.

Fresh install for me.

Same set up as Zurih - 32bit/Nvidia.

Yeah.. I'm not too sure on that one, I'm sorry.

Well now, that depends on what program you're using.. In VLC for instance, you go to Tools>Preferences, then tick "Show Settings - All" down the bottom. Open the Video group, go to Output Modules and change it there. You may have to play around to find the module/renderer that works best.

Heh, I have the same version. It's a customized/unattended install someone made. Just hit WinKey+R, type 'netplwiz' and tick "Users must supply a user name and password to use this computer". Problem solved.

I unplugged my external HDD (USB2), and my "Primary" HDD score jumped from 3.0 to 4.7. Odd.

Like I thought, then, it's an issue with the default renderer.. Has anyone submitted this to MS through Feedback, yet?

I honestly doubt it's a codec issue. It would be affecting VLC and WMP/etc differently if it was.
