I have a home-built system running the DH77EB board, Ivy Bridge i7, 8GB RAM, WIndows 8 Release Preview, Radeon HD7870 and a Samsung 830SSD.
I saw that the most recent 11.6 version of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver now lists Windows 8 compatibility, the prior 11.4 version worked on Windows 8 but did not list Windows 8 compatibility. I went ahead and installed 11.6, but it does not appear to start - the icon in the system tray says Intel RST service is not running, and when I click on it to launch the app, nothing happens. I checked the error log and this is what I see:

Next, I try to manually start the service using the Task manager, but the service starts for only a millisecond before stopping again. Checking the Event Log, and I just see simply "The Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 time(s)."
Has anyone else had this issue with 11.6?
