We have quite a few ancient Smartboards working happily on Windows 7 x64. I do have a variety of version of the Smart drivers etc to prompt them into life though. Are all of this model playing up? Do you have serial ports as a backup option for getting them working (I think some of ours are connected via serial!)

black bordered boards should be 5x0 6x0 are grey as far as im aware

 

it depends how new smartboard software is I don't think newer versions play well with 5 series boards. The drivers should be in c:\program files (x86)\smartboard\drivers (or something similar it seems to change slightly with each release)

Just came across this:

Will give it a try...

I think I use the 10.7 drivers with mine, if that helps.
