I'm having a problem with software from Dell - Wave Embassy
My laptop is D630
Like a year a ago I set a password and a fingerprints on BIOS - during startup
Now I want to set also a fingerprint during windows login .....
I'm using a Dell Latitude E6400 and I'm running the Wave Systems Embassy Security Software for my fingerprint reader.
The problem is that I would like to change the logon (welcome) picture in vista. I have now the Dell Wave default picture, which really sucks! Is there an option to change it, maybe through the registry?
In Window's control panel, Biometric Devices shows me that the drivers are ok "Allow biometric devices with windows" is flagged. With Broadcom FMA I can easly enroll my fingerprints
Everything looks good but at this point there's no way to use my fingerprints to logon with Win7 pro.
In control panel / programs I can see installed: Dell Data Protection | Security Tools and Dell Data Protection | Security Tools Authentication but I can't find out any program to manage my fingerprinters.
I tried almost everything, installing/uninstalling drivers, softwares and all this didn't work. I suppose that I should find a program or something that allows me to associate the enrolled fingerprints to my account.
I even tried to use Dell My Downloads (with Internet Explorer) but I cannot because during the installation I had the message Service Tag Number not supported.
Windows logon shows me, next to my account and security card, another "account" fingerprints, I even tried to login with this but I received the message "Fingerprint not verified" (obviously because they are not associated to any account)....
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.
My client has an elitebook 8440p and has been using the fingerprint logon for so long he has forgotten his bios password. There is no setup of security questions or usb spare key available.
We can get into the bios via fingerprint but cannot remove the bios password or regain this password. From what I understand, even though he can log in with his finger and access the bios with his finger, he cannot remove or change his typed password.
From other posts I saw that HP emailed a file to remove the bios security to the user in similar cases. I am looking for who he should contact, via email, phone, etc, to get his bios security removed. Again, he can access using his fingerprint only at this point and wants to remove all security at this point.
For my E6500, I've irrevocably lost my TPM Owner's Password, and I've lost my System password.
The good news: I still have the Hard Drive Password, and the Windows admin password.
The fingerprint reader is still working, still allowing me to login to the machine on startup. The bad news: if the fingerprint reader stops working, I won't be able to login anymore...
recently bought an acer aspire 5930 with an Nvidia geforce 9600M gt,3GB RAM,and an intel core 2 duo @ 2.00 Ghz.
When I play games I often notice annoying small horizontal wave-like distortions even at the intro videos of some games(Pro Evolution Soccer 09 for example).
I read that it might have been V-sync that cause these horizontal distortions, however turning it off doesn't help at all.
Vertical movement in the scenery seems to cause these wave like effects to occur and I really don't know what do to, I've tried mostly everthing.
I am using Dox's 180.7 drivers, forcing V-sync off etc.
Vista 32.
All of a sudden when logging on the laptop will hit a black screen and just hang there. You can move the mouse pointer, but the hdd will just sit churning.
Things like control panel uninstall programs, device manager can churn forever with no actual progress or won't even open.
Laptop also won't shut down past the "logging off" screen.
what I can do (before I go for a reinstall).
I have an Inspririon 15R that is going to the black screen after I logon to Windows 8.

"Logon Process Initialization Failure

As i can't even start up my computer, I can't view the event log ....

I have vista x64 on my vaio sz6 laptop and was thinking about the great Windows XP classic logon screen(press ctrl+alt+delete to logon and how it had empty boxes to enter user name and password). I was able to get this working properly on 1/2 computers w/ vista but i have small issues on the laptop. heres what i did:
(this particular method only works for vista business/ultimate users..there are other ways though w/ regedit)
> Type secpol.msc in Vista's Start Menu Search Bar and hit Enter. This will open the Local Security Policy editor. Navigate to Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options. Now on Right hand side, look for Interactive Logon: Do not display last username. Right click on it and open its Properties. Set it to Enabled > Apply. dont close everything out yet though.
> right underneath that setting is Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL. Right click on it and open its Properties. Set it to Disabled > Apply
The 2 problems only on the laptop are:
1) ctrl +alt + delete will only work 1 time before the welcome screen
2) on the vista welcome screen...it shows me the box that says Please swipe your finger to login(upek) AND it gives the name "Other user", which isnt an user account that ive made. (phantom account) If i click on "Other User"..it then gives me the empty boxes to enter user name and password. where is this "Other User" coming from?? ive even tried logging in with "Other User" w/o a password and of course it says failed to logon.
I think the upek fingerprint software(v5.8, etc) or tpm v3.0.2.2 software is causing this issue because they are the only difference between my laptop and my desktop. my desktop works perfect just w/ doing whats above. (Ex. says ctrl + alt + delete to log on every time and also 2 blank fields w/ user name and password.)
I just received a new HP EliteBook 840 G1 and i'm trying to use the biometric finger print device. I'm on win8 x64, Ive installed the drivers:
Validity FingerPrint Sensor Driver 4.5.133.0
Installed HP simplepass 6.0.100.276
But the i can't enable the windows logon, it keeps telling me my password is wrong (which is not true)...And the biometric reader is not recognized in the control panel...
Attaching some screenshots .....
Have a HP Laptop with windows 7 and I cannot logon. When I try to logon using my password, I continuously get message, "The user profile service failed the logon. The user cannot be loaded."

If it worth installing, I need to install both Dell Security Manager and the driver?
I recently purchased a Latitude E6500 with fingerprint reader. I was so impressed with the Studio15 that I had. Here is the problem the software with the E6500 doesn't let you login on websites or programs, like the Studio did.
When contacted Dell they stated that it will only work with Vista. My E6500
came preloaded with XP Pro. So I bit the bullet and downgraded to Vista.
Guess what still no use except to log into windows. Wave software SUCKS!
Does any one know of software that will work in XP with the Latitude?
Digitalpersona does not have a XP version yet. Yet on my Studio I converted to XP and it worked. Anyone have a link to the fingerprint software on the Studio?
I have recenltly bought a e6500 everything was fine till I tried to install windows vista 32 bit again . The boardcom USH w/touch sensor was not installed in my former OS and I didn't have boardcom TMP neither .
But my fingerprint worked fine .
Then I reinstalled the windows and installed the latest drivers in order . I also updated the firmware but none of those helped me solve this problem .
When I try to enroll my finger print I get : "Device opened" and when I choose my thumb as an enrolling finger I get "an error occurred during enrollment please re-enroll"
Is there any thing that I can do ?
I just got my E6500 with the FISP fingerprint scanner, how do you use it? Grant I've hand it 2 hours only.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI highly recommend the standalone desktop version by Upek.
The cheapest I could find was buy.com ($41.08 with 5% off coupon available everywhere).
[url]
Mine came with the 5.8.2 version of their software, but the build date of the one posted in the "Upek" thread was a bit higher, so I used that one... ((not so) New Upek Fingerprint Reader Driver)
The reader operates exactly the same way as the one in the laptop (duh? same brand and same software).
If you have encrypted files from your laptop, you can open them on your desktop and vice versa...
i have been trying to figure this out for a week with no luck and even no luck through dell.
I have a new latitude e6400, i originally set my fingerprint, then decided to clean install vista 64 bit, after tons of problems, i then abandoned the effort. Went back to the original vista business 32 bit, however, everytime i turn on my computer, during pre-boot it asks me to scan my finger to get access to my computer, i just want to disable it, but it will not let me, i went into security setting in dell control point, and in that funky embassy software, i cannot find a way to disable the finger print reader, i dont want to uninstall just disable, any insights?
I can't use the fingerprint reader because I upgraded from Vista 32bit Home Premium to Win 7 Pro.I tried looking on the net and could not get the Person fingerprint reader to work.Is there a link on getting the 64bit software for Win 7 or some other alternative free software that can work on the 64 bit
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just received my E6400 from Dell today and setup the fingerprint reader. I noticed it only works when I boot up the notebook and then I scan to get to the windows login screen.
I was wondering If I can set it up so that I scan to login to windows rather than typing in a password. I was also wondering If I could configure it to login to websites for things such as email since I know you can do that with Windows Fingerprint Reader.
I got an E4300 through work and set up the fingerprint reader at the request of my IT department, but I hate this stupid thing. It never works and I always have to manually override it.
I asked them to take it off, but it's "firm policy" for our laptops to have the reader turned on.
Anyone know how to turn it off? It's controlled through Dell ControlPoint and maybe a proprietary program we have.
I just updated to Firefox 3.5 today and much to my dismay it has disabled the add-on for my fingerprint reader to log into things in Firefox on my XPS M1530.
Anyone have any idea on a workaround or an updated add-on?
I have tried enrolling many different fingers but the same message is returned. When I installled the driver R173506, I was presented with 4 folders ie x.86vista and x.64vista.
Plus two XP folders. I tried to install from the 64 but an error message was returned.
I eventually installed the drivers from the 86 folder. Just wondering if this is correct? The call centre said I should not be presented with these folder options.
Is there somebody out there who has received the original Digitalpersona CD-rom with the purchase of your Dell Studio 17?
I lost mine, and i am unable to see any download links on the DELL website.
Who can send me an .ISO file
Just wondering why this option isn't advertised as an option on the Studio 15 series of laptops anymore?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm getting ready to wipe the Dell out of the M6400 and do a clean install of Windows XP 32-Bit.
Is there a way to get the fingerprint drivers without having to install all the different Dell ControlPoint software? I don't need the Connection Manager, System Manager, and Control Point.
First off, I know the fingerprint reader is not very secure. But since I have a new XPS 1530 with a built in reader, I want to make sure I can use it because 1) it's under warranty & 2) it's cool.
I've read the readers can be quite flaky so if I decided to actually use it to log onto my computer, I want to make sure I will also always have the option to enter a password instead
