Finger print reader - Windows 8 Consumer Preview

I installed the consumer preview of Windows 8 on my Lenovo B570. The device manager shows theSecure biometrics device normal. Its a EgisTec ES603. Also the Bioexcess software on the Lenovo Security Suite runs fine. But when I start the enroll process the software tells me "unable to detect fingerprint device". I already reinstalled the software and the device. What else can I do?
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
David

It is software compatibility issue and we need to wait for the Windows 8 driver from Lenovo.

  • Finger print reader and windows 8.1

    Have an HP DM4T1100 notebook, Can't get finger printe reader to work with Windows 8.1.  Worked with 8.0 64bit, but when upgraded to 8.1 64 bit lost the use of the Finger Print Reader.  Have loaded many different drivers and software but nothing works and the finger print reader no longer "blink".  Sometimes get infor saying swipe finger but the Reader is not flashing.
    Need to know steps to clear all the fingerprint drivers and software to start over, hopfully with know dirivers and software that works with Windows 8.1 64 bit.

    Hello,
    After checking the HP Driver and Download page, for your exact notebook. Their are no available drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1. For a possible work around, you can try the 8.1 drivers for another notebook. At this point, I would suggest creating a restore point on your computer if you have not already. I have included the document 'Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)'. Please click on the option for Create a restore point, and follow the instructions.
    Once the restore point has been created. You will need to uninstall the previous drivers that you have installed for the finger print reader. I have included the steps below for uninstalling through Add and Remove Programs.
    * From the Start screen type Add and Remove Programs
    * Select Add and Remove Programs
    * Once the list is populated look for anything like Validity driver, SimplePass, Finger Print Reader, or Biometric
    * Right click on these options and select uninstall
    After all the items have been uninstalled, please restart your computer. After the computer is fully back, please empty the trash.
    The next step will be to install the Validty driver, and then the Fingerprint Reader software. I have included the links below for you.
    'Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver'
    'AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor Driver'
    Please let me know if you are able to use the Fingerprint reader after this, thank you.

  • Finger print reader with windows 7

    How do you get the finger print reader to work on the txt100 after upgrading the software to windows 7?
    The program shows as being on the computer with all of the correct drivers, but it doesn't show up like it should (ex. on start up instead of typing password or in the corner of websites instead of typing passwords).

    Hi,
    If you have an earlier version of DigitalPersona or HP SimplePass installed, you may want to try the following.
    First of all you will need to uninstall your current version of DigitalPersona or SimplePass.  Be aware that there does not appear to be a way of transferring your registered passwords to this later version, so these will need to be re-entered again.
    Next, download the following file.
    http://www.egistec.com/websitedownload/patch/bioexcess/HPSimPlePass7.0.74.0.zip
    This should work for IE9 or Firefox 4.  This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.  Again, when the installation has completed, restart the notebook.

  • HP Deskjet Ink Advantage K209a-z - driver for Windows 8 Consumer Preview

    1. Product name and number: HP Deskjet Ink Advantage K209a-z, CH368
    2. Operating system: Windows 8 Consumer Preview (64-bit)
    3. Error message: "The driver for Deskjet Ink Advant K209a-z is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device."
    4. Any changes made before: Computer has been in repair and new operating system was installed (Win8 CP). I worked on Windows XP before repair and printer was going without any troubles.
    5. I'd like to know when the driver will be available for Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

    Hey Krzyskos,
    I suggest using the HP Windows 8 Install Utility for the best chance to get the printer working on Windows 8 preview. As for the drivers, the release of the Windows 8 drivers are expected to be after the office release of Windows 8. 
    The above link will direct you to the Windows 8 section where you should address any further Windows 8 questions.
    Take care!

  • HP Pavilion M7 Finger Print Reader Not Working

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an HP Paviolion M7.
    I put an OCZ SSD in, and ended up doing a fresh install using non-HP Windows 7 (64).  Using the HP Recovery Tools is simply not an option (believe me I tried). 
    I have everything working now, except for the Finger Print Reader.  I have tried everything I can think of and could find.
    I am using all the drivers/software from:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5273...

    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/HP-Pavilion-dv7-4020sa-finger-print-reader-...
    And more. 
    I believe the issue is because Biometric Device is Unavailable to Windows, see this screenshot:
    I believe the above picture causes the Authentec HP SimplePass software to not recognise the driver version, see screenshot:
    Any ideas?

    I am sure they are the correct drivers, they worked with the system when it was an "HP" version of Windows.

  • Windows 8 Consumer Preview: AMD Switchable Graphics - Unswitchable

    Hello everyone,
    I have a HP Pavillion dv6-6004tx notebook computer, and I recently upgraded it to the Windows 8 Consumer Preview (Build 8250). I would like some troubleshooting from those who have/are experiencing this and may have found a way around it.
    As far as the specs of my computer goes:
    Intel Core i7-2720QM
    6 GB DDR3 RAM
    64-Bit OS
    AMD Radeon HD 6700M
    Intel Graphics Family
    The problem lies within my display drivers. Some of you may also have a Switchable Graphics feature installed in your computers. But for those who don't, basically what it is is a feature that allows one to switch their display adaptor from a Power-Saving GPU to a High-Performance GPU, and vice versa. 
    In my case, as you can see above, the High-Performance GPU is the Radeon 6700M, while the Power-saving GPU is the integrated Intel one. My problem deals with not being able to switch back and forth between them, like I was able to back on Windows 7. As this is a feature of AMD Catalyst Control Center, I have searched their website and they actually have a supported driver version for Windows 8 CP, albeit it still being a beta and sometimes glitchy. 
    http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Windows8ConsumerPreviewDrivers.aspx
    (As you can see, my model: AMD Radeon HD 6000M Series is listed)
    After installing the Control Center, I restarted and a pop-up notifcation tells me that:
    "The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your AMD graphics driver, or enable your AMD adapter using the Displays Manager."
    I found this odd at first, as my model clearly was listed. But after some inferencing, I realized that my computer must be running on the integrated Intel graphics by default. This was further reinforced when I tried playing some games and other applications (It would be slightly choppy - as experienced before when I had forgotten to switch back onto High-Performance GPU).
    The AMD Radeon card used to have an error (The device won't start. Code: 10) under device manager, but with a fresh install of the driver obtained from AMD, it seems to be working fine. However, my computer is still using the Intel card by default, and I have no way of switching to the other GPU as Catalyst will not start. 
    Has anyone found a way around this? 
    This question was solved.

    I'll give you a two way to make it work!!!!  There is so much incompatibilities with the FIRST METHOD listed, you won't get use a Intel (less power consuming card) GPU to work after the changes! you've got to wait till HP let's it work properly or deal with power hungry AMD GPU even in battery mode .
    THE SECOND METHOD listed works without any problem with compatibility in any apps BUT IT IS Require pace and order ( may be exhaustive  for newbie's, no worries listed below got all the info you need to make it work)
    SO the first option:
    NOTE:THIS WILL TRIGER THE OUTCONTROL EVENTS SO PRECAUTION METHODS I WILL ADVISE FURTHER AS WE GO STEP BY STEP _ DOWNLOAD CHROME IF YOU RUNNING INTERNET EXPLORER ( GRAPHIC CARD WILL WORK WITH GAMES BUT NOT WITH METRO APPS THEY WILL NOT CRASH JUST NOT LAUNCH
    ALL THE METHODS BELOW TESTED BY MYSELF AND GET WORKED YET MANY INCOMPATIBILIES STILL WILL REMAIN USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK! 
    as i can tell all the games working properly yet battlefield 3 won't launch
    1.      AT first make sure that windows UPDATE IS SWITCH OFF or let you choose to download and instal (not automaticly or it will update ur device (at device manager) without ur permision and all eforts are gone!
    2.uninstall AMD Catalyst from "program and components" at control panel, then uninstal all the devices Intel and AMD at device manager at the control panel  (check unistal driver at intel HD driver)
    3.reboot! after reboot download this http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/win8/amd_catalyst_win8_consumer_preview_[rc10].exe
    and this
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53025.exe       -      300mb 
    4. instal sp53025.exe at windows 7 compatibility mode (it'll unpack by default in C:/SWsetup) 
    then start the istalation make sure u choose a "custom" , THIS IS CRUCIAL - uncheck the CATALYST (check all the rest intell driver amd driver ect.) after the instalation do not reboot 
    5.      Next start the instalation of the windows 8 consumer preview driver from AMD.
    uncheck all the rest ( after the sp53025 there will be only AMD driver (check/uncheck) and the catalyst (check/uncheck) box available) uncheck the AMD driver and install only the CATALYST driver!!!!
    Reboot! Enjoy !!! There will be no CATALYST(only the intel preference and settings where the CATALYST should've be) at the right mouse click but switchable graphic is now awailable LIKE THIS
    Unfortunately you'll won't be available to choose between the INTEL and AMD ! AMD is now working by default
    All the .exe will now recognize 6770m
    AND METRO APPS WON"T WORK!!!!!!! AS internet explorer will crash as you'll open it 
    SECOND METHOD IF THE FIRST FAILS (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IF HANDS ARE STRAIGHT MORE OR LESS)
    FURTHER IS TESTED!
    THIS METHOD EXCLUDE THE METRO APPS CRASH AND ALL THE REST INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH EVERY EXECUTABLE PROGRAMS AND GAMES!!!!
    Note: Requires knowledge to sign your own drivers, disable signing enforcement at boot and modding some inf files.
    I am not responsible for any damage that may arise. This guide is not exhaustive.
    Requirements:
    .NET Framework 3.5 -- Can be enabled within Windows 8, in "Turn Windows features on or off"
    Windows Driver Kit (WDK) -- Can be downloaded from here
    Configure Windows Update to only "Download updates but let me choose wether to install them", and hide both Intel and AMD updates. This is to prevent our driver be updated by Windows.
    1.Download the latest switchable graphics drivers from this site: leshcat blog IT Tips & Tricks: Catalyst 12.3 Pre-WHQL UnifL for Switchable Graphics
    2. Run the installer that will extract the contents of the file, by default it will ask you to disable "Signing enforcement of Windows", you will know that it is working after rebooting because a "Test Mode" watermark is added to the desktop, above "Windows 8 Consumer Preview".
    3. At this moment, do not run the AMD installer yet. We need to modify some files. By default, the driver will be extracted to "C:\Drivers\Catalyst 12.3 Pre-WHQL UnifL". 
    4. Go to this directory, and open the following file "Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\C7133662.inf"
    Do the following changes:
    In the section [Version] add:
    Code:
    [Version]
    CatalogFile=C7133662.CAT
    There is a section that has the listing of all the supported cards. Rename it from "[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.1]" to "[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.2]"
    It should look like this:
    Code:
    [Manufacturer]
    %ATI% = ATI.Mfg, NTamd64.6.1, NTamd64.6.2
    [ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.2]
    "%AMD68F2.1%" = ati2mtag_VancouverC_PXAI, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68F2
    "%AMD9519.1%" = ati2mtag_VancouverC_PXAI, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9519
    5. Follow this guide to Test-Sign a Driver Package. (This guide is generic)
    6. After the previous step, you should have a Catalog file and the inf file we modified previously.
    7. Now proceed to run the AMD installer in "Win 7" Compatibility Mode. It is most likely that the driver install will fail at this stage, but the rest of Catalyst software will be installed.
    8. Now install the driver using the "Have disk" method in device manager and your modified INF for both Intel and AMD cards.
    9.If you did the test-signing process correctly, the installation will succeed for both cards.
    10. Reboot and enjoy your switchable graphics under Win 8.
    I still have to figure out how to make brightness controls to work.
    BTW sorry for any grammar mistake, I am not a native English speaker.
    Known issues:
    - Sometimes switching may not work, resulting in BSOD.
    - When AMD gpu is active, Intel driver context menu options are still available.
    Features:
    AMD gpu can be turned off, so battery will last longer.

  • Finger Print reader does not link to Win7 Logon Screen

    Win7 Ultimate 64 bit
    FingerPrint software 5.9.4
    Biometric link to windows Logon accepted
    MS Server domain client
    At system boot, the logon screen appears and the fingerprint light is "on". I scan my finger, the light blinks once and no submission of the saved Windows password to the logon window. I must key in password.
    Lenovo support asked me to uninstall software, BIOS clear saved finger prints then re-install (and re-register). I have done this twice with no change.
    This was working until I had to break the domain connection (server change) and re connect to the domain with the same logon/password. It was at this time that the finger print reader stopped passing the biometric password to the OS.
    Any thoughts on how to re-connect reader to logon?

    I am using 5.9.4 with no problem, although I seem to recall having to go into the Fingerprint software and make some innocuous setting change, then change it back.  But I was changing a lot of things at the time and don't know for sure if that had any effect.
    Are you able to log onto the domain by manually entering your password?  If not, may need to re-add the computer to the domain.

  • Does HP sell a USB extension for the finger-print reader in an Elitebook 8540p?

    I have an Elitebook 8540p. I can use the fingerprint reader to log in to Windows when the screen is open. However, when the laptop is 'docked' the screen is closed, covering the built-in finger print reader. Does HP sell a USB fingerprint extender or adapter which would allow me to use the biometric sign in when the laptop is docked?

    I am sure they are the correct drivers, they worked with the system when it was an "HP" version of Windows.
