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 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!

"Go to Task Manager and find Intel Rapid Storage Technology under services and if it is Stopped turn it on. "
I turned it on and it stopped again.
I think so, but not sure how to properly do a system restore; my confidence is shaky when dealing with the machine (i.e.: the uninstall of intel rsd). sorry to be problematic...
is it fairly simple?
thank you
