Default PCMark 05

Did not know where to put this thread, so it ended up in Software.


Okay PCMark05 should be run in Vista because although it scores lower than XP in almost every test, it outscores XP on the magnitude of 50 times higher in Transparent windows test.

However, I saw someone post an XP bench of PCMark, with the non-standard ~500 Transparent window score. It still was not as high as Vista but so much closer, combined with the other scores being better... made XP usable for it again.

Does anyone know of a tweak in XP to help out the transparent windows test? I assume it has something to do with themes.

I think PCMark looks to make sure you are running Luna theme, so a hand tuned OS will probably be necessary.

I can not find the answer easily, so was just hoping someone already knew so I am not wasting time.

Thanks
