SMART Board Service. If SMART Board Service is already running, stop and then
start it again. See the following procedures for more details.
To stop
SMART Board Service
1. In the Windows notification area, select the SMART Board icon , and then
select Control Panel.
The SMART Notebook control panel opens.
2. Select About Software and Product Support > Tools > Diagnostics.
The SMART Board Diagnostics window opens.
3. Click the Service menu, and then click Stop.
4. Close the SMART Board Diagnostics window, and then close the SMART
Notebook control panel.
To start
SMART Board Service
and configure a serial
connection (COM port)
on your computer
1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 in the previous procedure.
2. Click the Service menu, and then click Start.
3. Close the SMART Board Diagnostics window, and then close the
SMART Notebook control panel.

COM port on the next page.
4. In the SMART Board message window, click Yes.
5. Click Add SMART product to direct your computer to automatically detect
new hardware.
After several seconds, a message appears indicating that your interactive
