Intel SSD toolbox now incompatible on Windows 7?

[techs]

Huh. After todays MS updates the Intel SSD toolbox no longer works on Windows 7 32bit and Windows says its an "incompatible" program.
This is the SSD toolbox that was released 10/19/2010 and is the latest on Intels website.

Anyone else having this issue, or could run their SSD toolbox and let me know if it works?

Thanks

perhaps its incompatible with trim.

you can disable trim on windows 7 - many people do this on pc's not capable by installing to hard drive (ie 4k sector) and then copying using the intel acronis utility. (acronis drive clone demo for others).

Some older sata chipsets just crash0r when you try installing using trim which win7 ASSUMES sata is capable of.

It worked fine up to todays windows update.

I installed it just a few days ago on my laptop at home...80gb G2. I went and downloaded it, didn't get it from WU. Working fine for me.

EDIT: now I get it...you feel a WU made it stop working....don't know...try a re-install?

My computer updated this morning (Win7). I just ran a few utilities in Toolbox, no problems. Went back to Win Update, there's still one I didn't get yet - KB976902. Did you install this one? It says it cannot be removed, hope that's not your problem.

Edit:Ok, that update is for x64, just saw you have x32 sorry

That's the one I am using. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Still no good.

SSD toolbox version 1.3.00 working with no problems here, after doing the full update from MS this week.
Tried going back to a restore point?

Found the problem. Got an Avast program update and now all is well.
Thanks, everyone.
