Windows Experience Index "Cannot Complete Assessment"

I've searched all around and haven't found a viable solution. Th
Windows Experience Index assessment runs, yet upon completion th
"cannot complete assessment" error message pops up. How do I go abou
figuring out what is causing the problem

I've read that NVIDIA drivers may be causing the issue, but I have th
most up to date drivers out there, and with a 9800GTX+ everything run
beautifully, so I don't understand why the experience index would b
having a problem with that.

I built my system a few months ago and have tried and tried to fix thi
error on several occasions, and have always failed

I've found that this error is associated with the program TrueCrypt
the encryption on a particular partition is causing the problem

Would it be possible for someone to just upload their XML file for th
scores (windows\performance\WinSAT\DataStore)? All I want to do here i
utilize certain screen savers that are only available with a certai
score for the video card, and I'm sure my 9800GTX+ can handle it. I'v
never been able to get the assessment to run properly so i don't hav
anything I can even edit to trick Vista
