This is the 3rd time I've installed this on a clean Vista system - and the third time, it fails to run on a schedule. This has happened with both version 1 and version 2 (both clean installations).
I looked into this after I noticed that the scheduled trimming never actually took place. It turns out that the SSD toolbox incorrectly installs the 'scheduled tasks' task, so that the task never actually runs.
Thankfully, it was fairly easy to diagnose, and create a new scheduled task that actually works.
The problem with the stock installation is that the task is set to run under the admin account - but only if the admin account is logged in. This means it won't run if you're logged in as a normal user, or if the computer is waiting at the logon screen.
To fix it, create a new scheduled task, taking care to note the parameters in the 'start a program' tab under Actions (copy these and paste them into the new task).
Configure the task to run as the admin user, select 'run whether user is logged in or not', and (very important) select 'do not store password' and 'run with highest privileges'. (If you don't check either of these, the task won't run)
Test the task by manually starting it, and verify that you see temporary free space reduction to 1 GB as the tool runs, and that you see (0x5) appear as the result in the task history.
