Do you have standard OS install or is it somehow modified? Communications test uses Windows Mail and standard windows compression/decompression APIs. Same is true for Game test 1 data decompression.

You could test the data compression/decompression functionality of Windows by picking some folder, right clicking, choosing "properties" and under General tab, attributes, click "advanced...", and then under Advanced Attributes select "compress contents to save disk space" and accept this, confirming that you want to compress the folder and its contents.

If this succeeds and the folder name turns blue indicating compressed folder, that would verify that windows compression/decompression features are present and functioning. If not, something is wrong with your Windows installation.

Hum maybe I desabled compression due that I use a SSD

and I maybe uninstalled windows mail as modded my Windows 7, I will check it by now and keep you in touch

EDIT: Yeah it's impssible to compress a folder

PCMark requires that file/folder compression is possible on the OS drive during benchmarking. It doesn't have to be enabled ("compress this disk to save space") but it can't be removed from the OS / disabled on the OS level.

Same is true for Windows Mail - you can't remove it from the OS or some of the sub-tests fail to run.
