Note - WJ III software conflicts:

Warning for Student Services staff who need to have WJ III installed. Smartboard software conflicts with WJ III and you'd need to choose either one or the other to have installed at the same time.

Software Installer

Minimize all your open windows. Look on the desktop on the computer to see an icon called "Software Installer". Open this.

Make sure you're on Applications on the left menu:

Find the SMART Notebook icon there, or you can type smart in the search menu to filter it out:

Click the icon and click install.

The program is very large so it may take a long time to finish installing.

You will want to restart the computer afterwards:

Conflicts with Microsoft Word

Problem:

After smart-board software installation, typing in Microsoft Word just creates a dinging sound.

The solution:

1. After installing 'SMART Notebook with SMARTBoard drivers' from the 'Software Installer' Shortcut on the Desktop, the computer has to be restarted for the drivers to load

2. Click the 'Start' button and type smart then click on 'SMART System Menu'

3. Click the up arrow (^) next to the clock in the bottom right corner, right-click on the blue 'SMART Board' icon and click 'Show Floating Tools'

4. If you see 'Microsoft Ink' in the top right corner, you can click on it and change it to 'SMART Ink'

5. Finally, the SMARTInk-Word-All COM Add-in appears to have a bug when used with Office 2016 (it only works properly if the SMART Board is plugged in via USB cable)

To disable the SMARTInk-Word-All COM Add-in:

   a. open Word 2016 and click 'Blank document'
   b. click 'FILE' and then click 'Options'
   c. click 'Add-Ins' and then click the 'Go...' button next to Manage: COM Add-ins
   d. uncheck the box next to SMARTInk-Word-All and click the 'OK' button
