Dell Vostro 3550 :: Fingerprint Reader - Biometric Devices Applet Not In Control Panel - Windows 7

Jan 3, 2015

Because of a virus, I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I have gotten everything else working except the fingerprint reader.I have installed the Validity Fingerprint Reader driver from the Dell Support site. The fingerprint reader shows up in the Device Manager. However, the Biometric Devices applet doesn't appear in the Control Panel.

I tried letting Windows update detect the fingerprint reader. It installed a driver for a Synaptics device. This was enough to get the Biometric Devices applet to appear in the Control Panel. However, when I tried to configure the fingerprint reader, I got an error saying no fingerprint management software was installed. I have seen lots of posts online directing me to validityinc.com for drivers or the DigitalPersona software, but Validity Inc. seems to have gone out of business. The DigitalPersona software is available on the Dell Support site for my service tag.

I have even tried installing the Windows 8 Validity Sensor Driver for my laptop, but though it successfully installs, it produces the same results.

HP OS/Software :: Dv6-6096 / Windows 8 - Control Panel Crashes

Aug 28, 2011

I have installed Windows 8 on a HP dv6-6096 nr which I purchased in may 2011. I did an upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium. Every time, I hightlight control panel, the machine reverts back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

I thave updated my video drivers. I an't tell waht other devices are not usiable in Windows 8.

I figured that I can go a clean install and all should work but I don't know if I can re-install under Windows 8.
 
Here is an update:The HP dvd6-6096nr used NON-STANDARD function which folks at HP, Microsoft and Microcenter have been made aware of. So the ways to get into Safe mode, Shift F8 is the easy way. For me, that doesn’t work. Using Windows key +x, lets me run msconfig.Using msconfig and booting into safe mode, action center tells me that I need to install 3 drivers: (Intel Bluetooth wireless driver, HP power management and Intel wireless display). Those were installed.I rebooted the machine, Control panel still crashes.Rebooted into safe mode, action center still shows that I need to install these 3 drivers.Since Microsoft makes it nearly impossible to boot windows to update drivers, that is where I am at. My choice is (1) install Windows 8 (not upgrade) or forget about Windows 8. The problem is (1) will Windows 8 re-activate and if other licensed software will re-install?

Dell :: Fingerprint Reader Reinstalled Windows

Nov 16, 2008

I reinstalled windows on my laptop, and I go to re enroll my fingerprint with the fingerprint reader. The Fingerprint reader suite says I have no fingers enrolled, but when I go to enroll my finger again, it says the fingerprint is already enrolled. But I can't find it anywhere. I'm assuming the saved fingerprints are saved to the device itself, but I can't seem to import the saved prints.

Dell :: Windows 7 Fingerprint Reader Woes

Jun 19, 2009

I'm having trouble with the fingerprint reader on my M4400. I have done a clean install of Windows 7 RC x64, and installed the relevant drivers, but the only software that recognizes the fingerprint reader is Embassy Wave bundled by Dell (which seems a bit, well, clunky ).

I have tried UPEK's Windows 7 software, which installs fine, but it cannot find the fingerprint reader. The same happens with DigitalPersona too; it installs perfectly but can't find the device. The fingerprint reader is listed in the control panel (it shows as '5880', which is the combined Broadcom fingerprint reader, smart card reader etc.), so I'm not sure why nothing but Dell's software can 'see' it.

HP J070CA OS/Software :: Windows 8.1 - Validity Fingerprint Reader

Oct 17, 2013

I just upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now the fingerprint reader doesn't work anymore.
 
I know that Win 8.1 has built-in biometrics support, so I tried uninstalling HP SimplePass, without success. I updated the drivers to the latest I found (4.5.123.0), I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, I started the "Windows Biometrics" service, I basically tried everything I could think of.
 
Right now, the Fingerprint reader drivers are installed correctly and it's detected by the system, but in Control Panel, the "Biometrics" category is not there. Also, in PC Settings => Accounts => SIgn-on, the Fingerprint option is disabled.
 
What I can do more? Or wait for newer drivers?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Fingerprint Reader Stopped Working - Windows 8.1

Jan 26, 2015

I can no longer use or enroll finger prints on my T430s laptop running Windows 8.1!

ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software is 6.0.0.8102.

Sensor: TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor (WBF advanced mode). Driver version: 1.6.2.352. 
 
Symptom: when trying to enroll a fingerprint, I get the message: 'Use a longer stroke when scanning your fingerprint,' the sensor light turns from green to blinking orange (3 times), then back to green. Same happens when when trying to enroll from Windows PC Setting/ Sign-in Options/ Fingerprint (Add).
 
What I tried: uninstalling ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software and Driver (to include selecting 'Delete the driver software for this device'), rebooting, using Lenovo System Update to re-install ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software, rebooting. Have also tried to manually install previous versions of the Fingerprint Software to no avail. 
 
I had this similar problem in the past, since upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, but the steps above usually resolved it.

Lenovo W520 ThinkPad W Series :: Windows Logon With Fingerprint Reader

Oct 13, 2010

I have a new W510 but I cannot get the fingerprint reader working for Windows logon.  I have the Lenovo fingerprint software installed.  It can enroll my fingerprint with ease, which also shows that the reader works.  I have turned on the option "use fingerprint scan instead of password when logging into windows".  When I restart Windows, I see a fingerprint logon option, but it still defaults to CTRL+ALT+DELETE.  When I pick the fingerprint option and scan my fingerprint, the lght blinks twice and nothing happens.  I know from my old W510 that I should be seeing a Lenovo Fingerprint icon on the logon screen, but I just cannot get that to display.  What have I missed?
 
The virtual agent was no support - it gives me a setting that doesn't exist, tells me to reboot, tells me that the first time I log in I will need both fingerprint and password, but afterwards it only needs fingerprint.

HP M6-1045dx OS/Software :: Fingerprint Reader Not Working After Clean Install Of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

I wanted to do a clean install on my new laptop and this is the only thing I can't seem to get working so far. The Validity driver from the HP website is installed but, there's no security software listed for this device. I tried Protecttools and it said it wasn't supported on this device, I also tried Simple Pass and it wouldn't start without crashing. I'm not even sure I'm installing the correct software.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T540p - Fingerprint Reader Not Working Upon Waking From Sleep For Windows Login

Mar 11, 2014

I have a brand new T540P with a Validity fingerprint reader. 
 
Rougly 80% of the time, the Fingerprint reader is unresponsive at the windows login screen after waking the computer from sleep. It works 100% of the time when booting from an off position, however. Once logged in, it also works 100% of the time. The issue only arises when logging into windows.
 
Things I have tried

-uninstalling/installing device in device manager and finger print manager pro software
-setting fingerprints through both fingerprint manager pro software (lenovo) OR through the built in windows fingerprint control panel options
-disabling "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" in device manager.
 
I should note as well that I have another T540P that I ordered as a replacement. Both models experience the same issue.
 
Is this a platform wide issue affecting all T540P models?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T440p / Windows 7 - Fingerprint Reader Fails On First Attempt To Log In But Works On Second After Delay

Jan 7, 2012

I have a T440p with Windows 7 Pro.  Except on rare occasions, I am unable to log into Windows with my first swipe across the fingerprint reader.   The green light is on when I do the first swipe and it immediately goes off and stays off for around 15 seconds, during which time another swipe does nothing.  Then the green light will return and a second finger swipe will log me on.
 
It's made using the fingerprint reader for login impractical, because it's faster to just go to the password screen and log in that way. 

Thinkpad T440p: i7-4800MQ | Crucial 16GB DDR3-1600, 9-9-9-24 | Samsung 840 Evo 500GB SSD | Intel 7260 Dual-Band AC Wireless | Windows 7 Pro

Dell Vostro 3550 :: Screen Turned Black And Was All Static

Apr 8, 2013

I have a Vostro 3550 and it is not even a year old. Last night I was typing an email and all of a sudden the screen turned black and was all static. This morning I was having difficulty turning it on but saw the boot screen and hit Enter to Boot normally. Then it went static again. I have tried turning it on with and without the power cord plugged in. I no longer can get it to even load to the boot screen.
