Remember to disable the 6150 (so it doesn't take up RAM and other resources) and uninstall its drivers. :) Make sure to get one that doesn't demand more than your power supply can handle. * Get another GPU if the computer has expansion ports. If other applications use DXVA, these may have to have hardware acceleration disabled as well. (Note: DirectX Video Acceleration = DXVA). This will fix WEI and will make VC-1 videos play without crashing, but these, and all other WMV files will no longer have hardware acceleration and thus worse performance.
This can be done in Windows Media Player -> menues (press Alt to make them appear) -> Performance tab -> Tools -> Options -> uncheck "Turn on DirectX Video Acceleration for WMV files". Obviously, any improvements done to the driver after will dissappear For example, 285.79 (beta) seems to work while 296.10 (whql) does not, so somewhere between there, the bug was introduced. * Ignore the WEI and don't watch VC-1 files :) Note that the WEI crash while invisibly decode a VC-1 encoded file, "Clip_1080_5sec_VC1_15mbps.wmv", in C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT. This seems to be an issue with the graphics driver, which crash on hardware accelerated VC-1 decoding. * When calculating the Windows Experience Index, the computer crashed in similar ways during the "Windows Media" assessment. * When playing movies encoded with VC-1 in Windows Media Player, the video would not be displayed properly and within seconds the computer froze, the graphics driver crashed, or I got a blue screen with various messages, often with a message that the graphics drivers timed out and could not be restarted. I had an old Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo E5615, which has a Nvidia nForce 410 or 430 chipset, with integrated GeForce 6150LE, running Windows 7 64-bit and the latest drivers supporting the GPU (version 307.83, according to Windows Update, Nvidia Update och Nvidia website)
