I think installing essential programs like RealPlayer, Office, Skype, etc. on your SSD will not harm, rather it is recommended to enjoy the most of your drive. Just be sure you do not fill more than 80% of the available space on your drive, as according to Corsair this will degrade your SSD.

Corsair as well.

Game Source files must be on SSD if you need the highest possible performance and speed

Use the SSD software utility that comes with your drive package and see if it appears there. If it does, try to update your firmware driver using that software. Restart your computer and it shall work eventually.
