• Fingerprint reader, stop working Please HELP

  Help! I tried making these forums, and nothing has worked.

  My fingerprint reader worked fine this morning when I registered in windows.  A few hours later, it just stopped working.  HP Simple pass seems even not recognize more.

  I tried to restore my system.  Did not work.

  I tried to reinstall the driver for the HP fingerprint reader.  Did not work.

  Biometric devices do not even appears in my device manager.

  I'm stuck, and I would really like to have it working again.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  I have a Pavilion dv6.

  Model #: A3E82AV

  BIOS: F.26 - 03/04/2013 (0790100000205710000620100)

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  Thank you

  You did not state your OS: assuming that Windows 8-64 bit

  HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers & downloads

  Assuming that you are on the last SimplePass HP as indicated on your website-

  It's important and where it should be:

  sp61399 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.272 Win7-8

  NOTE: This version works on Windows 7 AND Windows 8

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

  When you say that you have reinstalled the HP driver,

  • You download and install the driver from your Web site?

  Validity sensor driver:

  sp58900 validity sensor V4.4.234.0

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

  You could try the following:

  Specifications - power reset to solve Hardware and Software issues-Non-removable battery

  OR

  Laptops - power reset to solve hardware and software - removable battery

  Power reset cannot tell the difference between drivers - it does not analyze a driver before applying.

  EXAMPLE:

  • If the driver on the disk is the wrong driver before rebooting, it's always the wrong driver after the reset.
  • If the INSTRUCTIONS of the driver are tangled, messed up, missing or damaged, then the reset may solve the problem.

   

  Why a power reset works to solve some problems:

  The power reset does not install anything on your computer, it does not remove anything from your computer and reset does not "alter" on your computer.  Your data and programs remain as they were before the reset has been applied.  Reset runs the old instructions and makes the computer go to the operating system on drive to get new instructions.

  Why a power reset does not work:

  If the problem is more than a simple tangle, if 'good job' on the computer is not good enough - in other words, you need an update, a new driver, or there is a problem that can not be "unraveled", then reset won't work.

  If there is a hardware problem power reset will not work.

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

  If no joy:

  Assuming that you can see at least now the validity sensor driver in Device Manager > biometrics

  Then

  • Download the Driver of your validity sensor:

  sp58900 validity sensor V4.4.234.0

  • Open Control Panel > Device Manager > open biometric devices >
  • Right click on your validity sensor driver > Uninstall (check AND delete)
  • Reboot the laptop and connect
  • Install the downloaded Validity Sensor driver
  • Reboot the laptop and connect

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

  A suggestion:

  Do not skip the requested reboots...

  Good luck!

• Reading too fast: Please help!

  Hi all

  I used Adobe Audition 1.5 for many years (I have also tried with version 3, but my computer is too slow to run it well) and has recently purchased a new computer and thought I would update to CS5.5.  I recently recorded a session with an ensemble of 8 musicians and I have a major problem that I can not understand!  I recorded the sessions and while listening to them on that day, I recorded, all sounded very good.  The next day when I opened the sessions all of them played back too fast.  The music is a semitone too high in height.  I'm completely baffled as to why it happened, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the sampling rate.

  I'm on a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit).  I use a Presonus Firepod as my audio interface that I set to 48 kHz.  My Adobe Audition sessions can also be programmed to 48 kHz.  I did something unusual that set again the paths of files of sessions in a more coherent system of record.  It opens everythihng always fine, but sessions are replaying at too high a pitch.  If someone could help me with suggestions, I would be very grateful.  I have a lot of people waiting for mixdowns for this one and I'm in a bit of panic!

  see you soon,

  Adam

  I checked all the samples used in the session already and they are ID'ed as 48 k.  The multitrack session, it also suggests reading is at 48 k.  Do you think I should try to re - sample all the files at 44.1?  I'm afraid to do it, because I tried to do it with a .wav file that does not need, and CS5.5 does not allow me to cancel it!

  You can just stamp the header without resampling.   It will not be reduced the audio because it does not change any of the headers.   Take one of the files and use the change > interpret Sample Rate order on this subject:

  

  However, you can actually set this operation on all files by saving a favorite.

  If all the clips in the session starts in the same exact spot, you can cheat the session as well be simply change the header in the file SESX (using a text editor).  However, if you already have automation or several clips from different places, it becomes a little more difficult.  But if everything started at the beginning of the session, it should be easy change this attribute in the SESX:

  

  I found another disproportion which may help a solution.  Wave files are 24 bits, but the multitrack session is set to 32-bit mix: would this affect reading?

  No they won't make a difference, and is in fact to design.  Given that you have saved the files directly on the disk in the multitrack, there is no reason to store in a file with a depth of greater than 24 - bit because your sound card is _actually_ be able to produce data at a resolution (in or) more than 24 bits.

• Liteon Cd ROM completely lacking in 'My Computer'. Help, please! (Someone... Please help!)

  Hello.  I tried to contact the OEM directly, but it has been a week and no response.  I hope someone can help me please.  I copy the email below.  Because I sent this e-mail, I found more "evidence" of the prior exestance of CD ROM  Although it is completely zero from 'My Computer', there are a lot of drivers on the computer for him and now I don't think it's the drivers. I don't know what to think, really. "Here are my new results: in Device Manager, under" Liteon CD ROM "(always with an exclamation yelloe on this subject) I tried to run the"Hardware Update Wizard"for her, and I got this response: the wizard did not find a better match for the material that the equipment currently installed. When I look under 'properties', he says: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. When I click to troubleshoot, I get the same message ("Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »).  He (Liteon CD-ROM) is not listed under "config/system/system information system summer/components/multimedia/CD ROM '-there's just an empty space next to"CD ROM ". Even that in "my computer - it's gone."  The CD ROM will not work, but the light is on and it wil eject and accept a disc, but it will not read it. Please look at my email below and please email me with any questions or recommendations. I can't take another sleepless night, trying to "find my CD lost.  It can be a very simple solution - I hope so. But in all honesty, I really don't know what the problem is.

  Dear Sirs,

   

  I'm really, really hoping you can help me. I'm about to lose my mind trying to figure this out by myself.  I can't find a more appropriate contact you, so please forgive me if this isn't in your area or service. If that is the case, Please before my email to the section within your company and let me know. Everything on the official Liteon site I found and (tried to) read is in Taiwanese, and I am unable to read or translate.  If you could (have mercy on me) so help me or point me in the right direction - I would appreciate it very much .  I tried to understand what I have to do for 2-1/2 weeks and I have spent too much time on this when I should be spending time with my kids! :).

   

  My problem is the following... Recently, I ran a clean up/duplicate file registry cleaner program (ARO) and it seems also removed some vital and very much needed files, extensions, drivers, programs and who knows what else.  I had to download several other programs, file extensions and drivers from scratch, in order to get these things working again. But I can not for the life of understand me what to do with my Liteon CD-ROM. I also used the registry cleaner deletes "duplicate files", and after researching (too late), I found that it often confuses some files as duplicates when they are indeed not the same - post or file descriptions are very similar, or disable a single number or letter. I lost a lot of my pictures as well, and I'm heartbroken over. Anyway, the biggest problem I've noticed is that my CD ROM (Liteon CD-ROM LTN486S) will not work. It happened immediately after the registry cleaner 'cleaned' my folders and things - so I guess that's the culprit.  In fact, my computer is not recognizing even the CD ROM at all. It of Completely disappeared-MIA of 'Information/system components' lacks content 'My Computer' and when I try to update the drivers in the only place I can find that show the CD ROM (but with a large yellow explanation
  ! Mark) - in the "Device Manager" , I get the error: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) ». Then, when I right click on it and select "Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device", I get the same error: ("Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »). Track only of it (that I can find anyway) is in the 'Device Manager', where even once, it's a big yellow exclamation on the "Liteon CD-ROM LTN486S" here.  It is the only piece of evidence that it ever existed. I've looked everywhere I can think of, in places that I didn't know existed. I've looked everywhere on the internet for the driver for the "Liteon CD-ROM LTN486S' updates but unfortunately, I can't find. There are a few items that refer to the "OEM".  For some reason, I think it's the drivers, but I'm not computer very well informed. It could be something completely different. I wish I could uninstall info CD (only) existing Liteon I can find - and reinstall everything from zero (even do this? Please, tell!). Then... I thought that I contact me Liteon and ask for the drivers. It's at least a Start.  Could you tell me if there is something else I should do or review.
   
  My system info: I have a (Compaq Evo) Windows 2000 Professional SP3 XP. For what it's worth-(if this is important) it's a NIC PCI 32-bit, Intel Pentium 3, 700 MHz, 128 MB total memory, 20.0 GB hard drive, CD-Rom drive, CD - RW drive, 56 k Modem and 10 / 100Mb... (whatever the devil what is). Microsoft Update is in place and worked (automatically), and my system is "up to date" as far as MS is going. Help, please!  I don't know where to another look or what else to do. Please, please... Please advise.
   
  I thank very much for any help, information, recommendation or reference you can give. Maybe you have a safe and wonderful holiday season.

• NOT READING DVD-ROM and replaced by ghosts DVD drive drivers

  I have an ACER Aspire 5520 laptop with WINDOWS VISTA... and before I continue, let me say that I have been a loyal user of Windows for many years... BUT WHAT ME LOST MY MIND NEVER LOVE! Everything in FACT RANDOM, my DVD/RW has stopped working. First he did on my Windows XP PC and I thought, well, maybe it's 6 years old, time to upgrade. BUT now its happened on my laptop. I was watching a DVD at 8 o'clock in the morning. I go to sleep, wake up, DVD players do not work. I have a multitude of technical knowledge so I did everything that a person can do without breaking the system or files or material damage. There is no error and more it can not find any material to burn or play CDs or DVDs. CODES NOT... and the reason is the following:

  MY LAPTOP HAS A DVD GHOST ON IT. It is not the real player... I have no idea why it is installed, but it is. The drivers are the SAME ones my car needs.

  I have a

  HL-Hitachi-LG GSA - T20N (AARK104) Super multi DVD Rewriter SN/708HP090709

  The computer tells me that it is a:

  HIF 3GMNC96ZWX2 SCSI CD-ROM drive

  WHY is happening. Why is this drive here? Come to think of it, he's always been there, but he never asked me no problem. Never had to worry about this, because I thought it was a drive partioned... but come to think of it, why would you need to support removable partion.

  YES, community of microsoft, I don't want to seem rude here, or be a thorn in the pants of someone, but this is absolute BULL. There is no drivers on the Acer site. NONE on the HP website. NONE on the website microsoft and you guessed it, NONE on the LG site... _, they do not even have the product on the site AT ALL! It is absolutely stupid. There are MILLIONS of us who use these products and help these companies and all THE of THEM do not give enough of fools who are we actually do things that WORK... and I've been faithful to Microsoft. I guarantee to update, and the representative of the customer couldn't help me... especially because she couldn't understand me, but it is another question. Someone please, please help me. How can I make this computer re - recognize this drive and how to prevent this from happening? Thank YOU for your time. I will be greatly appreciated. I wish I could pay you, but I spent only 49.99 for assistance from a representative, who got only to uninstall, reboot and reset... AS I had no FACT THAT 9million times before... Sorry, just angry and purge. :)

  Hey Batman,.

  The reason why you can not find the driver is because the player is no longer supported.

  You can try the following additional methods and see if he has any of it.

  Method 1:

  You can look in the article below and run the Fix It or manual steps to delete the upper and lower filter.

  Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/982116

  See if it was useful.

  Method 2.

  Change the registry PxHelp20 value by following the steps below.

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

  Back up the registry
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  a. disconnect all devices non-essential external plug-and-play, especially cameras.

  b. click on start and enter "regedit" without the quotes into the search field.

  c. the Registry Editor window appears.

  d. click on the plus sign (+) next to the following in the list:

  ¯ SYSTEM

  ¯ CurrentControlSet

  ¯ Control

  ¯ Class

  e. Select4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318. Make sure that you selected the correct name of the key.

  f. If a LowerFilters value is listed on the right side of the Registry Editor window, click the LowerFilters value and press the delete key. Confirm the deletion in clickingYes.

  g. with the 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 key still selected, right-click an empty area on the right side of the Registry Editor window (pane window that lists all the values in the key).

  h. Select new multistring value.

  i. replace the default text for the new value by typing the following and then press ENTER:

  ·    LowerFilters

  j. right click on the new LowerFilters value and choose Edit.

  k. type the following in the value data field:

  ·    PxHelp20

  l. click OK.

  Mr. new value LowerFilters data PxHelp20 is listed in the Registry Editor window

  n. close the registry editor andrestart the computer.

  I hope this will fix the problem.

• My laptop cannot read a CD/DVD. It is a challenge for everyone. Please help help help. ? __

  Hi friends!

  (It is not really a problem, it's a challenge).

  (Before responding, pls read the question carefully)
  First of all, my laptop description:
  Model: Lenovo Y410 7757 54Q
  Operating system: Windows Vista Home Basic

  I use this laptop for 2 years, but there is a problem with this, it is not able to read any CD or DVD, except a few bootable and driver CD/DVD provided by Lenovo and Microsoft at the time of the purchase of this laptop. I encountered this problem several times and I have concluded that this problem can be related to the following questions, as:
  1. Windows registry database
  2 CD/DVD-ROM driver (it is MATSHITA DVD - RAM UJ-85JS ATA Device)
  3. the system BIOS or CD/DVD-ROM Firmware
  4 Codecs
  5. hardware system (i.e. lens or CD/DVD drive itself) and
  6 operating system

  But, I think that this problem is not related to Codecs, operating system or hardware. In any case, it is more than enough for me. I can not be tolerated this problem more. Please, help me out of this problem, so my system can play all types of CD/DVD and I can work properly. This issue is open for anyone who thinks they are an expert in computer science.

  (Ask: answer this question if you could understand what underlying problem and please please don't make stupid as responses to install codecs or clean your lens etc..) Now I really want to get rid of this terrible problem.)

  1. create an of Linux Live USB key and start it. You must run Linux from a USB key because you want to keep the free CD player. This site will show you how.

  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

  2. Once booted into Linux, test the drive trying to play multiple CDs / DVDs. try to burn something using any burning program is available in the Linux distribution you use. Knoppix, it's k3b.

  If the disk fails under Linux at any point, replace the disc. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello

  To me, it seems that the HARD drive has developed a fault.
  Error message: error reading disk. Please press ctrl + alt + del to restart is a typical notification if something would be wrong with a HARD drive

  You can try to check the HARD disk using a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
  It s free tool google for it if you need details

  Run the test and check if the HARD drive is OK.
  No, then you will need a new HARD drive and you need to reinstall the operating system.

  Hello

  I'm currently problems writing CD - R or CD - RW drive CD - RW?
  There is noise whenever I insert the CD - RW into the CD - RW drive!
  But able to read DVD-R and sometimes intermittent reading CD - R disc?
  Is - this CD - RW drive is defective? My burner is TEAC DW 224th - a 7.2 A

  Or would that be the problem of software that may have a break on my CD - RW drive?

  My current configuration are:
  Configuration of the device is all devices

  Dynamic CPU frequency mode is always high

  Speed session is seeing no tick on silent mode SET or SET Normal Mode?

  You can send an e-mail and respond to [email protected]

  Please help and advise.

  Hello

  I think it s not a question of setting wrong, but it could be a malfunction of the player.
  Maybe the lens can not calibrate correctly.
  I think noise appears during the insertion of the disc because the drive is trying to read or to recognize the CD.
  In this case there is not much to do. You can try using different media and if this does not work if the disk needs to be replaced.
