SmartBoard Updates:
I have found the August 2009 SmartBoard updates cause errors. After
being prompted to download and install the three or four updates,
a problem arises in that 'objects' on the Notebook page can no longer
be moved. When I used the installer below, the old SmartBoard software
and drivers were uninstalled and a newer version was installed in its
place. Plus, the software installed was faster than the separate
updates and remedied the object moving issue. Even so, this software
installation takes between 20-30 minutes. I have tried this solution
twice with the same good results.
This install will also add the 'Gallery Essentials',
the multitude of graphics that were specifically designed and added for
educators, and should be a component of the Notebook software. This
Gallery was not a part of the SmartBoard Notebook software that DOTS
loaded on the newest teacher laptops, but this installation will
rectify the problem.
