Technically, Novabench isn’t for use on Windows XP machines, but I benchmarked one of my newer XP machines (2008) about a year ago and it was able to upload the benchmark results file just fine, plus the current version on Novabench was released in 2011 (though Nathan, founder of Novawave, is working on the new version). Anyway, I’ve tested both of my Inspiron 8000 machines with Novabench (both running XP SP3, just like the XP machine that was able to upload its file just fine) and while the test finished just fine, I was unable to upload the score to Novabench’s database. I’ll hit the “compare these results online” button, and rather than being all happy and opening up my results on Novabench.com, it shows this:

I do have an otherwise working wireless connection through a WiFi PC card, and if you’re going to recommend uploading the file from another computer, it uploads the test with all the correct scores for the components, but it’ll display the components of the computer that you uploaded it from. Here is a visual:

[li]What you get when you upload it (I’m uploading it from my current laptop):[/li][/ul]

Obviously, those aren’t the components in the Dell Inspiron 8000, and my current laptop gets better scores on the components than that, haha.
Would anyone have a solution to this/know how to upload it? I just find it really weird that I was able to upload a result from another XP machine just fine but this won’t budge.
