I would recommend the following procedure:

Uninstall your SmartNav software
Download the latest version of the software and save (don't run from the downloader)
Right click on the installer and select "Run as administrator" and continue the installation from there. This may alleviate the issue.

Try navigating to the program file, located here:

C:\program files (x86)\naturalpoint\smartnav\smartnav.exe

Right click on the file, and select properties.
Go to the compatibility tab
Check "Run as administrator"
Check "Run this program in compatibility mode"
Select "Windows XP Service Pack 2" from the dropdown
Click "ok"
