I have an icon in the lower right tray that says Intel RST Service is not running.  What does this mean, do I need to fix it and how do I fix it?

Hi,

That service is described here: http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/Q57/Q57-overview.htm about halfway down the page. It's not essential, but the most likely fix if you do have additional drives is to reload the sata driver from Intel most appropriate to your chipset.

    I would personally pay a visit to your nearest Currys store and hand it to one of the techies there. It may cost you around 30 pounds but if your own knowhow is so shakey, then its doubtful that this forum can help you and you could end up making things worse by the sound of things. It would be cheaper than ending up having to purchase either fresh software or even a new computer. Good luck anyhow.

    I went to the task manager to turn it on and it says access denied. Now what?

    Charles - Can you do a system restore to point in time prior to uninstall?

    not sure if I know how;  self confidence is lacking anytime I deal with the desktop such as evidenced by the uninstall above... is it fairly simple to accomplish? I would appreciate a little "primer" how to go about this. thank you for your time and help!
