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.

    Now I need help with my Intel Rapid Storage Technology. My Vista computer loads it in the systray and shows the green checkmark and my system is functioning normally. On my recently built Windows 7 computer the Intel Rapid Storage technology in the systray says Intel RST Service is not running. I open it and get the User Account Control permission screen first. I say ok and then Rapid Storage Technology runs and I get the green check mark. Why doesn't it load during boot up as it does with my Vista Computer? Why do I have to open the RST application first to make it run? Just an inconvenience, but it works with my Vista computer without having to open the application first. Please help.

    I know this may not be exactly on the subject but comes along similar lines.  I have Server 2008 R2 and have installed the drivers.  My problem is, I cannot find the console.  It is not in the programs folder and I cannot find the files on the C drive.  Can anyone explain what is going on with this and how I can get the console to load.  I have it on three other computers but cannot get it here.
