SSD Optimizer Error in Windows 7 x64 Latest Firmware/Software

[idata]

I updated the firmware on my 160gig x25-m G2 drive to the latest. I then installed windows 7 x 64 from scratch on an intel DP55kg motherboard.

When I run the toolkit 1.2 and scan the drive everything is OK. When I go to the tools to optimize the drive it gives me "Intel SSD Optimizer Error" with no other explanation.

I have tried chaning the ACHI drivers from Intels to Windows but that did not fix the issue. I have also turned off the scheduled defrag (which you should always do for SSD drives) and I turned off windows restore. It still does not fix the issue.

@ichun: I'm successfully running Office 2007 Pro with no problems. I intend to install Office 2010 Beta using the standard installation process. I think the virtualization software built into the 'Click to Run' software is causing the problem. It would be interesting to find out if anyone else using products based the former 'Softricity' platform experience similar problems.

@ambizytl: I know I shouldn't need to use the optimizer. Now that I've removed the virtualized Office 2010 product, I plan to monitor performance (without using the optimizer). If performance doesn't degrade, I don't plan on using the optimizer again. I will update this forum with my thoughts...

Hi

I have the same issue as the original poster, and i can't get the SSD Optimizer to work. When i click the "run" button the whole bar turns red and the status changes to "failed" and Recommended Action changes to "Intel SSD Optimizer error".

I've disabled defrag, turned on ACHI, i have no virtual drives, no encrypted areas, the firmware is 02HA and i've tried with both version 1.2 and 1.3 of the SSD Toolbox.

And i can run the diagnostic scans in the toolbox without any errors.

Any more tips and tricks for that issue except the ones that have been discussed so far?
