PCMark Vantage troubleshooter

[lohphat]

I too can't get tthe tests to run properly. My symptom is that it reports Generic VGA when the Direct X report has all my nVidia details.

Why does game test 1 99.9% of the times crash ( window stays black) when I run a pcbenchmark suite on the Sempron 145 ( single core AMD cpu).

If I run the games tests seperately there's no problem...

If I unlock the cores on the CPU, everything runs fine...

Is there a workaround on this ( besides ditching single core :p), it's quite annoying as this benchmark is used on Hwbot and yet so many single core benchers got major issues by just completing one decent run...

Hello
I get a 0 score. Seems my data compression fails. I have tried the test of (clicking on an icon, advanced tab, checking alow compression, compress, then un check) and that seems to work fine. I am lost.

The drive in question is an SSD/HHD hybrid with cashing. The whole point of me buying PCMark was to test it. Please help.

Solved this through private messages. It seems that Norton was interfering somehow? (posting for the benefit of anyone else having similar issues)

Hello,

i tried to do some Benchmarks with the PCMark Vantage 1.2.0 on my Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13.
OS is Windows 8. I tried the here posted solutions(e.g. directx/graphic driver updates), but they didn't work.

PCMark Vantage requires Windows 8 Media Center pack to run properly on Windows 8. Normal Windows 8 install is missing Microsoft MPEG2 codecs that are required by PCMark Vantage. You seem to be missing these as TV And Movies suites are failing.

We strongly recommend using PCMark 7 instead. However, if you insist, you can get PCMark Vantage to run with the media center pack.
