How to fix the fingerprint reader of the problems of compatibility with WIN 7 Sony Vaio VGN-SZ260P

The fingerprint reader does not work on my laptop Sony Vaio VGN SZ240P since I've updated from Windows XP.  There must be a problem somewhere online.  Everyone fell on this problem yet? And if so how do solve you this problem?

Hello Jason,

This will be a little problem. The only available fingerprint driver is for XP, the operating system on this computer comes with. There is a driver at this location: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNSZ240P&upd_id=2134&os_group_id=13 which works on Vista with "loss of functionality.

So, if you have a 32-bit Windows 7 system (it will not work in a 64-Bit environment) do the following: download the XP / Vista driver and install it. Once its installed go to the program icon or the file itself and right click on it, selecting Properties in the window that opens. When the new window opens, go to the top row of tabs and select the Compatibility tab. When that shows check the box run in compatibility and mode in the drop-down list that appears, select Windows 7. Then select Apply and after that finishes select apply to all users. That brings up the same menu for all users - check the compatibility in the Windows 7 box, click on apply, then click OK and click OK.

If something does not work as I've described, post here with details and I'll try to work through it, with you. Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

Kind regards
