• T500 fingerprint reader) for individual programs?

  I have just installed the fingerprint reader software and can now logon using my finger, which is great.

  but can I use the software to log individual prgrams? for example when I open my e-mail program (thunderbird), it could be invited to use a finger to be able to access thunderbird? and other programs too, like maybe Skype etc. ?

• How can I disable the SimplePass fingerprint reader for now?

  DV7 6143 cl, Windows 7 64 bit.

  The computer is several months old, and yesterday I finally had the time to look at everything on the machine to see what was useful.

  For the first time I opened SimplePass (AuthenTec version I think) and implemented with my Windows logon.

  It works and can be useful in the future, but not so much right now so I would like to disable or turn off the drive without uninstalling the software.

  Also, just curious, the implementation of procedure I used was not like any tutorials on HP sites.

  It is best to leave things as they are as long as the software is quiescent. It is a simple matter to restore your registration when you want to use the logins SimplePass. Merry Christmas!

• X 1 random behavior of yoga fingerprint reader

  It is the second major problem with my X 1 Yoga. Not only the crash of driver touch screen "all the time" but the fingerprint reader does not about 30% of the time. Not sure what the cause/effect is because it is not consistent. For example, the light above it sometimes and you can unlock the device. Other times it is not and it either works or does not work. The light is so inconsistent that he is willing to unblock. Other times, perhaps from sleep or screen saver after having locked the machine, the only way is via the password.

  As suggested by the support of Leonvo, I installed the latest drivers. But he has made zero difference.

• T61 with Windows 7: Fingerprint reader does not

  I downloaded and installed the software of fingerprint reader for my (7659-D22) T61 with Windows 7. On the login screen, I see the option "Scan your finger", but none of my fingerprints is recognized, so I log in with my password.

  In Windows, I get the popup of fingerprint by inviting me to register fingerprints. Three are presented as registrants already (carry on the WinXP form, no doubt), everything else I had tried without success to the login screen. I tried registering additional prints, but the scans are not at all.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Just delete the previous fingerprint data and registration seem to have solved the problem.

• For hp dv7 fingerprint reader works does not after update to 8.1 windows

  Hello

  I upgraded Windows 8.1 Windows 8.  Before updating the finger print reader worked. I used it to connect to websites in any browser Firefox. I also logged into windows with my fingerprint reader and the screen unlocked the same way.

  I have updated all the drivers according to the instructions on updatig before windows 8.1 and after update.  I checked that everything compatible with windows 8.1 again by the instructions before putting up-to-date.

  After that update the drive light will not read the finger scan and the light does not illuminate. I went to the control panel to check the driver and he was later. I ran the windows driver verifier and on the HP site checked for validity sensor driver is up-to-date.  When I open simple passage it says congratulations you can connect in the window by the touch of the finger. When I go on Internet sites I have red cells connected with simle pass, he now seeks to connect with the password "master."

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  BattleAngelita,

  Welcome to the HP Forum.

  Does the SimplePass asks your for your master password Windows means that the program has survived the process of upgrading to Windows 8, 1 - somehow.

  You can start with the following:

  • Create a Restore Point > create a restore - Win7 Point ORcreate a restore point Win8 
  • Close all your programs and shut down your computer
    • Unplug everything (little unifying for the keyboard / mouse external can stay)
    • Perform the Hard Reset for your laptop
    • Start the computer and connect
  • Check is SimplePass himself has sorted them.

  ==========================================================================

  You can try to update your SimplePass program to the latest version in the series of version 6.x.

  Before you do this, read and follow the instructions to export your Webcards in your .tsd file.  Regardless of whether the Web site connections are working right now; you need this backup in case you lose your HP SimplePass program (thanks to the complete removal / reinstallation or if corruption).

  Then, consider updating the HP SimplePass program to the latest version 6 series.  If you are already using the latest version, consider other options in the guide, including the "Repair SimplePass" procedure.

• Fingerprint reader - Windows 8 - HP Pavilion DV7 connects not

  Have searched high and low for a solution to my problem to scan fingerprint - tried instructions on many site without solution.

  Please help-

  I have a HP DV7-6c27cl (Pavilion) - purchased 11/2012.

  Updated from 8 to 64-bit Windows to purchase and fingerprint scanner quit job with TrueVision HD webcam.  HP driver update for webcam works perfectly - running.

  Software HP SimplePass is responsible for the current 5.20.233a (DigitalPersona) version.

  East went to HP and downloaded the new driver (SP58834) for the fingerprint reader.  We sought their updates using the specific model of this laptop and he gave me this driver up-to-date with.  Software starts but no joy on the drive...

  Simple pass still said "the fingerprint reader is not connected.  "Connect to the reader."

  

  Earlier today when trying a number of different patches I had a tap of biometrics in my device manager and another in the Panel... on one of my attempts to find a solution, I deleted these.  Is gone now.

  Don't know what to do from here.  It doesn't seem to be any solution on the Web Digital Persona site either.

  Please help and thank you.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4020sa - fingerprint reader not detected

  Hi had this laptop new Nov 2010... HP Pavilion dv7-4020sa product number WR867EA #ABU

  warranty expired dec 2011.

  Until this afternoon everything was fine, but to turn on my laptop an hour ago, the integrated fingerprint reader is no longer detected.

  Also get an unknown usb device with problems appearing in Device Manager...

  Uninstalled the usb device and connected to the Internet via ethernet... but when I reconnect via wifi, usb device reinstall itself... ???

  Attempted to restore backups, repaired and even uninstall and reinstallation of HP Simplepass... all with no impact in this regard... I have still some no activation sensor of joy... .He tells me the fingerprint reader is not connected.

  The laptop is not fallen, bumped or mishandling somehow.

  I am running the latest version of Windows 7 Premium, with all the updates that are installed via the HP Wizard. My security suite is Kaspersky 2012... and I even disabled by attempting a restore of the system... restoration returns with a file that are not accessible, but does not tell me which file?

  I have no virus or malware on my laptop

  Help, please... It's driving me crazy...

  Thank you

  Hey Midsyork,

  Looks like you run Digital Persona SimplePass flavor.

  Two things to try, in order:

  • Hard reset
  • Remove and reinstall the validity sensor driver

  Hard Reset:

  Sometimes, all you need to do is the computer suddenly.  This method works for a variety of connection and "glued" program issues.

  • Disconnect all the external devices first.
  • Remove the AC power and battery
  • Press and hold the power button while in the minus 30 seconds
  • Reinstall the power supply for the first start only * see Note
  • Power on - connect
  • Next time you shut down the system, replace the battery.

  * Note: You can ignore the little battery aside.  If you wish, replace the battery the first time and do it with her.

  Check the software...

  If it still does not work, go ahead.

  • Control Panel > Device Manager > biometric devices > Validity Sensor > uninstall > delete
  • Reboot ...

  Validity Sensor V2.1.0.2

  • Install the validitysensorDriverinstallationpackage: it if called sp*.exe - the package will be most likely located in the downloads folder.  If you have control of "Admin", you can highlight the package and "double-click on ' to install it, otherwise just right-click, select"Run as Administrator"and install.

  This can kick things hard enough to restore the Digital Persona software.  You can hit him harder, but first...

  ======================================================================================

  What about the rest...

  You could consider running a full system scan.  I'm a demon for this.  I like a healthy file system.  It cannot solve the problem, but it will ensure that the issue is not a messed up system files, which CAN cause all sorts of unpleasant and troubled issues.  You do not really have to 'look' like a mother hen during analysis, look at the logs or 'DO' something.  He's going to take care of yourself and try to fix what it can.  The only time where that must involve it is things do not go well...  Is there a doc to help at the end to tell you what does this thing.  It is not harmful and, unless your system is broken, and it's going to die anyway, it will only make things better than they are now.

  scannow SFC

  Analyze and fix the system.  The sfc/scannow command. who will do - it will scan the operating system, looking for corrupted files and inconsistencies; He will replace or repair everything he can.  If it finds corrupted programs or libraries, it will try to correct them.

  • Start menu > all programs > Accessories > right click on guest > select ' run as administrator'
  • In the command prompt window, type (or copy / paste) sfc/scannow , and then press enter.

  (Note the space between sfc and the ' / '.)

  The sfc scan will report its findings and you can look at the results:

  • Open an command prompt (it doesn't have to be as an administrator):
  • Use the command copy to create a copy of file readable by the output:

  %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log copy %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt

  If "scannow" does not properly complete, try running:

  SFC /verifyonly

   

  Copy the results to a text file, extract the output file in Notepad and look for errors that could not fix the full scan.

• Fingerprint reader no longer works on dv7 - 7373ca Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

  Hello

  I'm a dv7 - 7373ca and I installed 64-bit Windows from 8.1 to this topic. I can't seem to be able to operate the fingerprint reader. Before I formatted the computer, he had Windows 8 64 bit on it and the fingerprint reader worked perfectly.

  I installed the driver fingerprint sensor fingerprint validity provided here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-109892-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en... (i.e. sp58900)

  It doesn't seem to be a HP SimplePass software available for download in the on the support section of this model for Windows 8.1. So I have downlaoded the more recent for the same model but for Windows 8. (i.e. sp63224)

  Even if HP SimplePass software opens and, in my view, there is a problem with the drivers because the light next to the fingerprint reader does not illuminate and HP SimplePass says he has encountered a problem.

  Could you please help me solve my problem?

  Thank you very much

  Alex

  Well, I'm done. I installed all the other drivers, Windows Update and installed my programs. Everything works perfectly. I don't know what the problem was after my first installation of Windows 8.1. The only thing I did different in the second installation was the order in which I installed everything. Install the fingerprint sensor driver validity above all the rest, it seems to have solved the problem. That's what I would do if someone has the same problem. Install the drivers before the Windows Update.

  Thank you for your time and help,

  Alex

• Dv7 fingerprint reader works not properly

  The fingerprint on my DV7 reader works on my initial connection, but has stopped working for any other site.  Sites and pwd are all loaded, but when I access them, I don't get the opportunity to use the fingerprint reader.  The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC, product number A5F92AV with an Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz and running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.

  jcap1108,

  You might start with the following:

  If you allow your Firefox to update automatically, then Firefox may have recently updated to V31.

  Make sure you have the following settings in place: always turn on

  Firefox > file > Tools > modules > Plugins > scroll down >

  Always turn on the value SimplePass (drop down on the right)

  • Closing of Firefox
  • Close all programs
  • Restart / reboot the computer and log in

• Pavilion dv7 6051ea: how to get the fingerprint reader works on Windows 10

  Just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro. The fingerprintreader has stopped working. I find the possibility to set up, but the installation is grayed out as long as no driver available. Can't find one on any forum support? Anyone else having this problem and sorted it please?

  On August 11. I've been running Windows 10 updates on a daily basis since the upgrade and now after a reboot of the fingerprint reader has started working? and remembered my impression as well. I guess that Microsoft dropped in a fix for this (which works for me) then maybe something to try?

• Windows 7 RTM fingerprint reader and webcam for TX2 driver status

  I read somewhere on the site of HP windows 7 drivers for this TX2 - 1027CA won't be available until October 2009. Still I use it now, and the main system works well. There is a problem in the fingerprint reader and perhaps the webcam for me at this point. Until that HP provides drivers updated, I was wondering if there may be versions beta drivers for the TX2 I could try. I am ready to continue using windows 7, but I would try to install the drivers updated as soon as possible. Maybe it's two months away and one month after the availability of the operating system for MSDN subscribers (several companies and developers). I guess this list of reading, some other people who have found what is and is not possible on the TX2 today under 7. Could you give us a brief run down on what drivers are working or not working do not? Fingerprint reader and webcam are of great interest for beginners. My goal is to run what can work.

  The WebCam driver installation is not necessary. You can use the MediaSmart WebCam software to test
