Wndows did not detect any biometric devices on this computer..

I have an HP ProBook 4540s running Windows 7 Professional w/IE11. I had to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro and since then I cannot get my fingerprint reader to work at all. In my Control panel, under Biometric Devices, I recieve the message "Windows did not detect any biometrics devices on this computer". However, under Computer , Properties, Device Manager, Biometric Devices, the is Validity Sensors (WBF) (PID=003d).
I have tried to update, uninstall, re-install HP Simplepass, drivers, etc from the HP website, but nothing is working. Also I cannot find exactly what fingerpriint reader hardware is installed on the computer even though it is physically there as part of the original configuration.
I appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.

Bluetooth did not detect any Bluetooth device even iPhone please help me

I have iPhone 4 my Bluetooth did not detect any Bluetooth
Device even iPhone so I can not transfer any data to other iPhone
Please help me

That is correct.
This has never been a feature of iphone.
Sorry.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, telephone headsets/handsfree devices, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the apps store, tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than these, it will not connect to another phone/device/computer/etc.

Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive

Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
Click on "Update Driver". Lan eNet details as follows:
Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
(But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
--- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
"Choose a connection option"
Click on "Connect to the Internet"
Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
=> To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
Note:
Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware. I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
Solved!

I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
Then I built the Windows-7 Repair Disc... used later.
Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
See images.
That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
I get message:
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates. It says it fixed two items.
I still have the problem.
The service shows "started"
Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
"No action needed"
"Windows Update does not require any action"
I checked Update History...
... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
It works! 7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
What to do?
By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

Hello Partii,
It sounds like you may use a POP account for your email. With a POP account, email applications like Mail and Outlook can remove emails from the server, so when another device tries to check the server for new emails, it doesn't see any.
You may need to adjust settings in Outlook so that the emails are not removed from the server when downloaded. I found an article with more information:
When using a POP email account with multiple devices, email messages may only appear on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server once an email client has received it. You can configure your email client (or clients) either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your Inbox.
I recommend reviewing the full article for steps on adjusting these settings; you can find the full article here:

I understand that Windows it not detecting any network hardware.
If you check Device Manager is it recognized?
If the card is listed is there an error on it?
If not and you are out of warranty you could try reseating the network card.
Here is a link HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) to that may also help.

Windows did not detect any networking hardware

We have an HP Pavilion desktop, model # a6610t, using Vista OS. We have been connected to the internet wirelessly for almost 1 year and now all of the sudden it cannot find any wireless networks. We are able to successfully connect wirelessly to the Internet on other laptops and I can connect to the internet on the desktop with a cable so I know it is not the modem or router. I have also unplugged both the modem and routers - still no success.
We ran a virus scan and no treats were identified. The only thing different that we see is that we got updated to Internet Explorer 8.
Any suggestions??
This question was solved.

Please try to reinstall the networking drivers from recovery manager and also please inform the status of the wireless button .Does it stay orange or does it turn blue.

NIDMM FrontPanel_Failure.JPG ‏107 KB

Hello,
reinstalling the nidmm and visa will cause several reboots of the system. That was no solution
for me and my problem.
After starting the nidmm, the window with the information, that the 4072 won´t be found shows
a RESCAN button. By pressing the RESCAN button, the error code -1074118656 and the message,
that the device ist not recognized and this version or driver wont fit my 4072.
Should I install the only install the delivered driver or could I update to the actual version?
Delivered was Version 2.5 of NIDMM, installed on my system is the actual one from the NI homepage.
I think, I try to deinstall the NI-SW completely and install "only" the delivered SW. Hope, this will solve.

VMWare Workstation 8 did not see any USB devices, only BT dongle

No errors reported, just no devices available. With 7.1.4 there was no problems, Virtualbox works well too.
Is it my installation's personal bug or known issue?
System is Arch x86_64 on Asus Rampage II motherboard (Intel X58/ICH10R).

Copy it to your system and test, probably will solve your problem.

My LaCie external hard drive connected to Time Machine for data backup drops it's connection and a error message displays tell me that I did not properly disconnect the device. This started after upgrading to OSX10.6.7.

My La Cie external hard drive drops it's connection after mounting on my iMac computer. This problem seems to have started after upgrading to OSX10.6.7. When I turn on my computer and than turn on the external hard drive the hard drive mounts to my disk top without any problem, but when I bring up Mail or Safari the hard drive drops its connection. Is there a fix for this problem? Hope someone can help.

The connection to 10.6.7 may just be a coincidence. I had a similar problem with a disk and was about to throw it out but decided to try a different USB cable. That fixed the problem and the drive is still in use.
Try a new cable if you have not already done so.

Fingerprint reader not listed in Biometric Devices

Hello. The HP Notebook I'm currently using with Windows 7 Ultimate is the Pavilion dv4-1225ee Entertainment PC (FZ248EA#ABV). It's got a built-in fingerprint reader (Validity Sensor's VFS201), which works only with DigitalPersona.
Now the problem I'm encountering is quite minor: If I go to Biometric Devices in Control Panel, I get the message "Windows did not find any biometric device on this computer. You might need to attach your device or install device drivers", even though the reader is listed under Biometric Devices in Device Manager ;
