I thought not running SmartWare, turning backups to manual, would solve the problem, but now WDFME has taken over the CPU. I have 1.4.5.2 installed. Thanks for this THREAD! Guess I’ll not start the process until another update comes out. Better than throwing my computer out the window because it’s unusable :)!
There is new software available. I downloanded and updated mine yesterday (version 1.5.0.17 (or.18). I just bought the My Book 2 TB drive a few days ago. There was no update on the SmartWare home page when I utied using that option.
I tried to write a message to Tech Support and it took me to another page to download the new version, then deleted my email to Tech Support. There is also a firmware update avaiable, which I could not run becuase somethign was always usingthe drive.
One very nice thing: in the new version, we can select WHICH files and folders to backup, instead of just using the Categories. The other very nice thing in the new version is that I can specify the Thunderbird mail directories to be backed up. It still wants to save the .msf files, which are useless index files.
ps: I wish this window would let my browser show the spelling errors.
Since the new version of SmartWare contains some major changes. I am closing this thread. I’ve started a new thread for the new version of SmartWare that I’d like to consolidate your experiences in.
