My book essential External hard drive

Hello,

I have an issue.

There is this message that appears each time I want to install the WD Smart ware: 

‘‘Windows cannot find ‘C/program files (86)/western digital/front parlor/wdsmartware.exe/Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.’’

What do I have to do to be able to install the Smart ware appropriately ?

Have you tried running the installation as the administrator? Also check if you are trying to install the latest Smatware version.

Hi,

The updater software constantly pops up. Is there anyway I can ask it to stop showing up each time I open the smartware ?

Hi again, you can disable the software update notifications, go to settings // Software Updates //  and remove the check box for “Automatically check for WD Smartware software updates”
