I read the previous posts and tried downloading from that link... it downloaded fine.. i unzipped and followed directions but gave me an error msg: THIS APPLICATION MUST BE LAUNCHED DIRECTLY FROM THE ORIGINAL HP SIMPLESAVE STORAGE SOLUTION... Can anyone please help me? Did I do something wrong?

how do I repair this, and how do I search for it, can't find when going thru control panel? Oh this happened after I logged in on my work computer. Came home logged in and now it keeps telling me simplepass 2011 crashed.
I also thought this was an identiy theft program as it uses mt finger print to open, but by reading some of the other post here it may be a hard drive issue? HELP!!!!!!

Hi, I have an HP Simplesave sd500a external portable hard drive.
The drive failed, so I replaced it with another drive.
Now it won't let me reformat the drive.
Do I need to install new software on my computer to force a format?
