HP Envy 15 OS/Software :: SimplePass Is Not Working Except Windows Log On Screen
Aug 20, 2014
When I bought this pc, It was Windows 8. I updated my pc to latest windows 8.1. After first update SimplePass stopped working on every browser except Internet Explorer. It stopped working on the log in screen too. But for no reason it started working on the log on screen suddenly. I contacted HP through chat support. They said SimplePass is designed to work only with Internet Explorer. Other browsers might work or not. That's fine. According to her (HP Agent) SimplePass is still working.
But after the last update SimplePass stopped working totally except the log in screen. I click on the SimplePass icon... no response... I swipe on the finger print reader... nothing happens. But the it only works on the windows log in screen. Bellow is my current pc info. I think HP should update SimplePass.

I have just buy an HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j153 with Windows 8.1 and I am trying to set up the fingerprint reader with SimplePass. But the problem is that when I open the HP Utility Center and I try to open SimplePass it just does not open, I click and nothing happens.
When I slide my finger on the scanner nothing happens. When I am creating a password for signing in it gives me the option to use a fingerprint and when I do that the scanner works right but at the moment of sign in nothing happens again, is just like if I was not doing nothing.

I upgraded my PC to windows 8.1 sometime back and had no issue with simplepass initially. I then suddenly could not swipe my finger and log in.
I am at a loss as to what to do because, I have depended on using this for lots of my web-sites etc. (keeping my password secure) but now I cannot use my finger print recognition to do so and have to type my master password each time.
I bought this computer for the ease of managing my security but HP has made me loose confidence in their products given the battle I am facing.
I am worried about installing any updated software as one solution suggests because I am not sure it will solve the problem without deleting my exiting password data files etc.

I am having trouble with HP SimplePass. Every so often it stops working and won't input password details for my saved websites. Moreover, if I then try to log in to any website manully, the web browser just hangs and won't log in. If I untick the option to allow HP SimplePass to log in to my saved websites, and then reboot my laptop, I can then log in to websites again. However, if I later re-enable Simple Pass it starts working again, only for the problem to resurface at a later date. Due to the sporadic nature of the problem I have been unable to pinpoint the cause, and, as far as I am aware, I have the most recent version of SimplePass.
I am using a HP Pavilion 15-n271ea Laptop (Windows 8.1), with Internet Explorer 11.

I bought my HP envy 15 about a month ago and originally simplepass was unresponsive it worked perfectly until I installed software (Solidworks). Now the fingerprint scanner lights up on login etc but doesn't recognise the swipe. When I try to open simplepass itself, I press 'Get started' and it starts to load drivers but then disappears. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but my pc had a fit when I restarted and repeatedly restarted for about half an hour saying something went wrong. Eventually I had to take the battery out and the computer gave me to option to reset. Now I'm afraid to change any software myself incase anything goes wrong.

I have the HP envy and I have been using simple pass fine for ages but then I tried to rescan my fingers to fix it because it seemed to be having a lot of trouble recognising me so when I went through I deleted the fingers and tried to input them again but whenever I scan one of my fingers it says that the finger is already enrolled HOWEVER when i scan my finger outside of the program it asks me to setup HP simple pass but when you click configure it doesnt open the program
I have tried repairing the program with the control panel
So How can I reset the program to a fresh install? Is there a place where I can download a replacement copy?

I have an HP ENVY 15-j112tx, which I've had now since the beginning of this year as a replacement for my HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j009tx which broke down at christmas. On my the j009tx, I was able to enrol multiple fingers, the software looked just like the one in the tutorial pictures on the HP website, for setting up simplepass. On this new laptop however, there is no option to enrol more than one finger, I'm not sure how to update or downgrade the software to the one that came with my previous laptop.

I have just bought the HP Envy 15-j140na directly from HP. The laptop is fantastic, however I am having a problem with the fingerprint reader. The computer comes with the simplepass software version 8.00.57 already installed.
The problem I have is that once I have set up the fingerprint reader with simple pass, it doesn't prompt me to scan my print during the windows login and i have to log in normally. I have checked all of the settings and it should be set up, however there is no prompt. Just to note that everything else works fine. I can sign into websites on IE no problem at all using the fingerprint reader. It can be slightly frustrating as this defeats the point of having a fingerprint reader.

HP DV7 6143cl Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit recently updated IE from 9 to 11.
I bought the laptop mid 2011and did not get around to looking at the fingerprint reader until the end of that year. I used it briefly but with very few passwords I un-enrolled my fingerprints and let it sit idle.
Recently I decided to use it again but it was dead. I installed the Validity Fingerprint Sensor driver sp55109.exe and HP SimplePass Identity Protection 2011 sp54680.exe. Upon restart it took me though the fingerprint enrolment process and started working.
The first driver is the actual sensor and the second is the management software, correct?
Very recently I updated Internet Explorer from 9 to 11 and the SimplePass stopped working again. So I repeated the above steps but only overwrote the existing drivers.
It started working again in that I can logon the laptop with a fingerprint and I can assign a website to an enrolled fingerprint to launch but it is no longer asking me if I want simple pass to save passwords.
Could this be related to IE 11?.
I read Dragon Fur's tutorial on SkyDrive: Simple Instructions to Upgrade HP.
Should I try again after I delete the existing fingerprint driver?
I the tutorial mentions an very new driver sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8
Would this driver work or am I just overlooking something else as it partially functions?

Laptop is only 9 months old. I did all of the updates and then my touchscreen stopped working - that was 4 days ago. Today I did a system restore to the point before the 1st critical update (9/24/14). It still does not work. Did it corrupt my driver? And if so, what is the name of the driver? How can I restore the touch screen...

i am having problems with my finger print scanner.
i have an HP Pavilion dm4-3107tx Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook PC. it cannot recognize my windows password when i try to register my fingerprint for windows logon.
i know that the password that i've entered is correct and i have even tried logging in to HP SimplePass via my windows password.
i have tried lots of troubleshooting by following threads from this forum and also following instructions from the HP support website.
-i have an up-to-date BIOS
-my SimplePass version is 6.0.100.276 (latest)
-my biometrics device driver version is 3.4.4.84 (latest)

I have an HP Elitebook 8530w with Windows 7 32-bit. I did not buy this laptop, it was a gift from a friend. I have gotten recently, just a few days ago. I have not used the fingerprint sensor previously before today. I went on the HP site and went to get the driver for the fingerprint sensor. Here is the link to that page. I tried to install the AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor Driver but it did not work, it said the installation process was interuppted and to try again later. So I tried again later and the same happened. So I uninstalled and checked to see if there were any later versions. I had not looked to see that the original one I installed from the drivers page was from March 17 2010.
I did some researching around and found version 6.0.100.272 of HP Simplepass (The AuthenTec Driver had HP Simplepass installation included). I installed this version and it worked. I opened it up and it prompted me to enter my windows account password. So I did. I then clicked Set Up Windows Log On and it told me to enter my Windows password again. I did but it didn't work So I tried again... and again... and again... It didn't work no matter how many times I tried. I tried restarting my laptop and changing my account password. Neither worked. So I'm confused as to what could be the problem. I would very much like to use this feature.

I have a 2012 envy 15 with Win8.1 Update 1 and a few days ago, i noticed that there was a newer version of my graphics card so I decided to update it.
After the installation, the computer screen became black and I only was able to see the mouse pointer, So i waited for almost half hour and then decided to turn of my computer. I restarted it and it kept seeing a black screen (the windows logo appeared during the boot).
As I couldn't do anything with my computer, I decided to Refresh it in hope that it will return to a good state. During the refreshing the pc restarted but the power light started blinking , like the computer was at Sleep, and when the refresh finished, the screen was good, but the light kept blinking.
I tryed to shutdow the computer but when i turn it on again I didnt ear the Cd rom making the usual noise and the lights where blinking.
So i decided to maybe put it in sleep, but when i tried it, the computer screen when black for a few seconds and the pc went wake immediately, and when i try to put it to sleep again, the Sleep option was gone.
Then I thought that something went wrong with the refresh , so i clean install windows from a bootale usb drive since the CD wasn't working..
But that didn't work either, and to make things worst all my computer fans stopped working. So now I end up with a pc with a clean win8 install, the power lights keep blinking (both power button and the side light), no ability the sleep the computer, no cd drive and no fans..

I have an HP ENVY 17r laptop. So I installed WIndows 8.1 the other day and everytime I startup my laptop I get this error:
AccelerometerSt.Exe - System Error
The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I then went and uninstalled the 3D Driveguard but then encountered another error:
HP 3D DriveGuard
Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action RemoveMobilityCenterTile64, location: C:WINDOWSInstallerMSI8EB1.tmp, command: /uninstalltile
I also tried to install the driver for the 3D DriveGuard but when I did so I ran into yet another error:
The HP 3D DriveGuard driver cannot install, the Accelerometer hardware is not present or supported on this unit. (Click OK to exit).

A few days ago I updated from the Windows 8.1 evaluation to the full 8.1 release and since then my audio has not been working. In the control panel, "Digital Display Audio (AMD High Definition Audio Device)" is listed as unplugged. The audio icon on the taskbar is Xed out and clicking it runs the error finder in vain. Speakers no longer show up in the device listing although now that nothing is working I'm not sure if they ever did or if audio just came through Digital Display Audio. Headphones do not show up as playback devices and the volume controls on the keyboard and taskbar are inaccessible.
I have never used external speakers. The Windows 8.1 update seemed to wipe all of my HP and AMD software that came with the laptop so I reinstalled the HP Support Center and searched for driver updates and all that jive but everything shows as up to date. I don't know what else to look for as most of the forums I've seen seem to be talking about their HDMI out sound not working when plugged into a TV and I'm just trying to have sound, period.

My notebook restarted itself to make updates, once i logged on i found that the sound is not working on music files, web pages etc. other than the windows sound. The other thing i noticed is that the mute button will not go off or on? i tried to troubleshoot but nothing..I found that left clicking my sound icon and clicking on playback devices and then left clicking speakers and headphones and clicking 'Test' led to a pop up; "Device in Use.The device is being used by another application. any devices that are playing audio to this device and try again." I have checked everywhere but i can't find the device being used anywhere? I'm not willing to lose by Beats Audio.

2 weeks ago I began having video issues on my system. At that time, I was able to get to the login screen and right after I logged in, the screen started blinking at a constant rate (about evey second). To fix this, I booted to the Startup Menu (hit ESC after power on) and got the text based menu. From there I could get to the nice little graphical Windows Startup Options Menus. I used that to do system restore back to July and this seemed to work for a couple weeks.Now when I start the laptop, it quickly goes to a screen full of little dots all over and I can't see anything. I was able to get the text based statup menu that listed (system info, sys diags, ..., Starup menu). But when I tried to get the graphics based menus, it immediately when to the screen with dots so I could not do any of the recovery or start up options (like safe mode).
Attaching screen shot.

I have a HP ENVY TouchSmart 14t-k000 CTO Ultrabook. It just went out of warranty a month or so ago but started blue-screening rigth after that - I had to reinstall Windows 8.1.
Since the install, my wifi has not been working properly. (I can use an Ethernet cable without a problem.) Sometimes it will say the wifi is connected with full bars, but then I get a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET" when I try to pull up any browser and nothing will load. Other times it just won't connect at all. The weird thing is that 5% of the time it will work fine, and I'll be able to use wifi no problem for a couple hours at a time.
What could possibly be going on? Is it a driver issue? Should I get a new network adapter? Is it a settings issue?

Bluetooth doesn't work on my notebook. I have an Envy 15-j030eb which includes Bluetooth. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. Notebook product number is E4N79EA
In the device manager, I don't see Bluetooth, but there is one unknown device for which there is no driver installed, I assume this is the Bluetooth.
The HP Support Assistant couldn't locate the driver, so I tried to install the MediaTec/Ralink driver (as my WiFi adapter is from MediaTec/Ralink, I assumed the Bluetooth is from the same manufacturer). This is the driver I tried to install: [URL] ....
I tried to install the driver, the installer runs but ends without any confirmation that it was completed.

I am using an Envy TouchSmart 15 and I have just run an update of Windows 8.1 based on the system auto update (it ran 5 updates).
Prior to the update, I used a 27" monitor as the main screen and this was connected via the HDMI port. Right after the update, the system doesn't seem to recognise the HDMI port anymore and it goes back to using the Envy laptop screen as the main screen. I changed the HDMI cable but it made no difference. I subsequently connected another laptop to the 27" monitor via HDMI and it worked fine. So it appears both the monitor and the HDMI cable are fine.
