Windows 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to show
I have a T500 I removed Vista and installed Windows 7. But now I can't the fingerprint reader will be displayed at sign in. I think that I have installed the driver, but it does not appear. I went into Device Manager and it seems to be responsible. Any ideas?
You need not fingerprint software from Lenovo. It's just another program that is running in the background.
Windows 7 has all the functions that the software Lenovo offers. Whether you use it or not, it's up to you.
in any case, to get the fingerprint logon to work, you must go into control panel > biometrics. Then you need to check "Allow connections to fingerprints" (or something of the sort). It will ask you to register to use fingers.
The next time you start your computer/log, you will be asked to use your fingerprint to log. It works exactly as it would if the Lenovo program was there (with the sole exception of the sliding-finger-to-boot-computer functionality).

Compaq nc6400 upgraded xp to win 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to work
I have upgraded xp to win 7, as we will have to do, but can't get the fingerprint reader to work. It appears in the devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista, but they got nowhere. Read in many places as Vista drivers will work but I seem to need more than that. Any clue? Thank you!!!
Hello:
Yes, for Vista fingerprint reader driver is the only one available, but you must install the software HP protect Manager security tools for Windows 7 from the model which succeeded the nc6400, who was the 6910p.
You must also use the W7 driver quick launch buttons.
If your computer laptop bluetooth, you need the W7 bluetooth software and driver...
And you can use the version of W7 HP wireless assistant software.
You can also read the manual tools security protect manager, so you can understand how to use the fingerprint reader.

Hi, I have a probook 4440 s, I changed the hard drive due to malfunction, I used paintings General; I can't set the finger print recognition
Hi Rubio7,
Welcome to the HP forum!
Your Probook is a commercial unit and the consumer forum.
I'm sorry, but to get your question more exposure, I suggest posting in the trade forums, since it is a commercial product. You can do the Forum Commercial/Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE
I hope this helps.

Reinstalled Windows and can not get the video past standard vga
I had to reformat my hard drive on my Studio 1749 and reinstall it from the disk operating system (which seems to have only the standard drivers on that). Then, I went to the page of Support for drivers and installed the wireless lan driver and video driver. But when I try to adjust the screen resolution, the only option for display is generic pnp monitor on standard vga adapter. How can I get that back at the higher resolution and it supports?
Thank you
Dan
First thing to do is determine whether you have an Intel or ATI video (BIOS - F2 at startup screen - will tell you).
Make sure that you have installed the Dell system software
Then install the video driver.

Can not get the photo stream to show in pictures
Despite rooting in the preferences I can't seem to be able to get my photo stream will appear in the pictures. Someone has an idea of what I might have missed?

As you mentioned not directly - do you have activated my PhotoStream also in iCloud Photos for Mac preferences?
Photos > Preferences > iCloud:
My Photo stream will only show in the photo library, which has been enabled in your system in pictures photo library > Preferences > General.
This option should be grayed out to show that it is enabled.

X 1 carbon Touch Fingerprint reader 'can not find the fingerprint sensor device' e7210005
Hi all
I have spent far too long trying to solve this problem by myself and need to reach out to someone who may have solved this problem. I read tons of questions similar online and restarted from dozens of times after trying many different things.
I have a carbon 3444-GCU Touch who can not see his fingerprint reader. It used to work when it is brand new, but after many updates from lenovo and windows, it now does not work:
I'm on Windows 8.1, with all updates.
No problem in Device Manager.
Coprocessor (WBF advanced mode) Fingerprint TouchChip installed under thin biometric devices.
_Not_ power management value disable device to save power.
The bios is 2.61.
I suspect that the problem is very low, because even the BIOS can not find the device trying to implement.
If I have the lates BIOS, but it can't see the camera - what can I do?
Thank you all...
you have a faulty drive.

The Digital Persona does not detect the fingerprint reader in Windows 7
I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Pro (full installation). Now, DigitalPersona does not detect the fingerprint reader. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and the program, does not. Any ideas?
Hi Cankermechanic,
I suggest that you try to update the drivers supplied by Device Manager and check.
See the link for update drivers: update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly
If the problem persists, I would recommend that you uninstall drivers and reinstall the drivers from the site Web of Digital Persona, if that is helpful.
If the problem persists, I suggest that visit you the manufacturer for further assistance from the link below:
http://www.askpersona.com/I also recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the computer for further assistance on this issue.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

Portege R830: don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work
HI - need help.
I have a Toshiba R830 I got "downgrade" to Windows 7 32 bit version pre-installed 64-bit. Long story - but it's the software compatibility.
Despite the download and the installation of what I think is all the relvant 32 drivers - I don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work.
I downloaded and installed the software fp-sw-201103311304 Tosh - chilled out and tried to install it.
It's actually hard to know if it is installed! I get a window telling me it will extract the file in a directory C:\temp and tells me at the same time that 'tinstallwb.exe' will start once the extraction is complete.
It seems to extract - but I do not see that the installation is happening.
Subsequently it is has that nothing listed in the title of the programs - and nothing "launches."
In Device Manager - I can't see anything that is listed as "fingerprint reader" under security features - the list is TPM 1.2. Not actually sure that is nothing to do with the fingerprint reader - well I've enabled and then disabled via the BIOS.
Am I missing something?
Could the reader [which I have not used since the new - even if it's only 8 weeks] have stopped working?Would be very grateful for pointers.
Try to start the installation manually. On the desktop create a folder unpack and after doing the beginning downloaded exe. Extract the files to the folder unpack and disable command run after extraction.
When files are checked almost open and Toshiba archive extracted file extractor. You will find setup.exe.
Try please to start it manually. -
