new hardware & rating

hey all
hope that someone can help me wit this.
i have got a P4 2.7 Ghz pc with 1gb ram & a geforce 8400gs running vista
ultimate
i have been running on a score of 3.8 on the rating index.
however, i got a new processor & since i installed it, i have not been able
to complete a new assesment.
it was suggested to me by someone to reinstall windows as this should cure
the problem, however it has not, now i have a completely unrated system & i
cannot use the aero theme.
the latest winsat i have is:
6697562 (4720) - winsat\main.cpp:2295: --- START 2007\10\8 23:52:09 ---
6697890 (4720) - winsat\main.cpp:1995: > DWM not running.
6697906 (4720) - winsat\main.cpp:2051: > EMD device detected to be on. EMD
will be restored on exit.

6709812 (4720) - winsat\main.cpp:3216: > exit value = 1.

& through command prompt:

i am wondering if anyone else has had this & if so know of a way to resolve
this.

The Windows Experience Index rating may inherit an incorrect value
after you make a change to your computer's hardware configuration:
