SMART TECH suggests visting their site to dowload the-

SMART Response interactive response system

 http://smarttech.com/us/Support/Browse+Support/Download+Software

You still need to uninstall all old software, but the smart response software takes the place of the senteo and works with the clickers.  It also installs notebook, and the smart driver.  Make sure you are hooked up to an ethernet cable and not trying to download wirelessly.  The gallery of objects is too big and will take forever.
