Can you use MSI "System Information Export tool" to export the system information and post the basic configuration? Thank you.

I'm having the same problem (got a GE72 2QE) and the other requirements are correct. (also installed with Admin Rights)

I reinstalled with admin right and got the same problem.
The PDF says that GE 60 2PE APACHE PRO is compatible with the software, so why isnt working?
Also Framework 4.5 is installed in my computer.

Kind regards.
 
I hope you fix problems because it seems like that application will be very useful since sometimes I'm in the library and I would like that my laptop would be quieter.
 
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your test and information.  We are studying the problem root cause.

If your model is GT72, GE60 2Qx/2Px or GS60 2Qx, and encounter any problem, you can try this "SilentOptionCleaner"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1oSMeecH6wcRWwyMlI3eXpFVE0/view?usp=sharing

Double click SilentOptionCleaner.exe to execute, and it will reset EC FAN table.  Restart OS and execute Silent Option again.

Your feedback can help MSI improve this FAN utility.
Thank you.
