?Hi, Barry.
The word "Refresh" doesn't appear there. And the actual wording changes a
bit from one version to the next. In my system, there is a icon labeled
"Re-run the assessment". Do you have something that reads anything like
that?
There are several ways to get to this page. My favorite is to hold down the
Start key while pressing the Pause/Break key. Keyboards vary, but usually
the Pause/Break key is in the upper right area; you may need to press a
Function key to toggle it from Pause to Break. The System Properties window
should pop up in your face. Once you are at the System page, you can click
the WEI, or Performance Information and Tools on the left menu.
Please clarify some conflicting remarks: You started this thread by saying,
"I have Win7 Home Premium (factory installed)..." But in your OTHER thread
you said, "I use Windows 7 Professional 32 bit."
On the System page, note "System type". Does it say "64-bit Operating
System"? If not, your computer has 32-bit Win7 installed, even if the
hardware is 64-bit. This is NOT an unusual situation; many vendors install
32-bit Windows on 64-bit hardware. If 32-bit Windows is installed, then no
matter how much RAM is installed, the system can see and use a max of 4 GB,
and some of this uses address space reserved for video and other functions,
leaving only about 3.1 GB (usually - it varies) available to the user.
I haven't seen this, but your OEM may have "dumbed down" the reporting on
your machine. If you tell us the make and model of your computer, someone
here might recognize it and have some useful advice.
