    Maxtor shared storage II did not install under Vista nor does it install under Windows 7.  After the reboot, it keeps saying this application has stopped working, I keep clicking find a solution online, but it doesn't.  I have a 1 TB Maxtor external store HD and I can't even use it.  Can someone give me some help?  Yes I am using the disc given with the drive, yes I am following instructions. 

    Thank You

    Hi,

    Please  try to manually uninstall the driver and reinstall it in Windows XP compatibility mode.
