There you go, I am facing the same problem, my finger print reader is not recognized, attached below is my screen shot of my device manager where i installed my drivers for this finger print reader.
Spoiler
attached is the second image of the software used by finger print reader in my lap top, showing the error message. "Finger print reader is not recognized"
My model number is: Hp pavilion DV 6907 TX
The model was initially with the Operating system - Vista, my finger print reader all worked fine, then i later upgraded to windows 7, where i was successful in finding all drivers for my lap top. I was successful in finding the drivers for my finger print reader as well, and i installed it, that's the reason it shows in the device manager, but i don't know the reason why it is not getting detected.
Is this something to do with the hardware failure to get detected by the drivers ? or an incorrect driver inside my laptop which is not gelling with the hardware ( the driver is not getting digitally signed). please help.

Fingerprint Reader Not Detected during startup on Windows 7

Dear Community Users/Tech Guru,
I am hoping somebody could shed light into a weired issue I am facing with this *stupid* Microsoft OS. I purchased a T400 last year and brought a x64 bit Windows 7 three months ago and have it setup for clean installation. I followed the procedure published in lenovo.
I had the security setup of my notebook to use pre-desktop authentication and single sign-on. I had everything setup and running.
However, after a few weeks I began to noticed that upon power up and giving a fingerprint swipe on the bios authentication, it would halt on the windows startup page (where we would normally login). It turns out that the fingerprint device is not detected! Something is not workin properly during the startup of bill gates Microsoft Windows 7! I would try a reboot on the system and it will load properly afterwards.
But I find it stupid that Windows doesn't detect my fingerprint device on startup! This happens when it's a cold boot using a battery (at least 70% of the time it turns out that way). I disabled the single sign-on but retained the desktop authentication (means I have to swipe twice). But this f*ck OS is still not detecting it during cold start.
Anyone... please advice?
Solved!

I attempted to reset the policy settings of CSS but then the pop up screen just got stuck:
- I did a reboot and reset the fingerprint data and password (after exporting the
settings),
- uninstalled the fingerprint reader and CSS
- uninstalled the CSS. I had encountered some issues while uninstalling it
Windows is reporting that the installation log file could not be found. I manually
downloaded the driver from the site and used the installer to remove it from my PC
- Reinstalled both CSS and Fingerprint driver
- Import all my security settings (password and fingerprint)
- Tested CSS and used fingerprint as default login method in battery mode
- Enabled Single SignIn method in CSS and BIOS
So far so good, the reinstallation fixed the issue. I did recall that there was a windows update before this mayhem on the fingerprint reader started.

Tx2510us - Fingerprint Reader Not Detected after Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 installed

Have had Windows 7 32-Bit installed and running fine since early last year.. Today Windows Update installed Service Pack 1.
Now, the fingerprint reader (AuthenTec AES1610) is not detected. Digital Persona reported the fingerprint reader isn't connected and the Device Manager shows installed and working properly.. When the computer boots, the logon screen shows not detected..
Have seen several older posts that reference a page with a fix for AuthenTec/Digital Persona, but get a 403 error when trying to access..
Hoping someone still has this info, or possibly there's a new fix to work with Service Pack 1..
Thanks

Followed the given advice: installed SP1 again, ran Firefox in safemode, disabled other running programs as mutorrent, still Firefox didnt work. I had internetconnection (after restarting mutorrent this did work, the app telling me what the weather outside is worked) but no Firefox: as previous time I got the start screen, but could not browse the internet.
I also tried to start the Internet Explorer and it also looked as if that application had problems (but that can also be because I did not use it for a while - old version or whatever - and it is not my standard browser).
Have again performed a roll back in order to remove SP1, now Firefox works again.
If somebody has advice it would be very welcome!

Z60m card reader not detecting cards

Hi,
I had my z60m formatted recently and since then the card reader does not detect cards. On searching online I found a ricoh card reader driver which claims to work for the z60m which I have now installed. Still no luck. The green light next to the card reader blinks when I put a card in which could mean the hardware works.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Riaz

Fingerprint reader not detected - tx2525nr

I have an HP tx2525nr and recently did a clean install of Windows 7 (x64) and updated all of the drivers. When I try to enroll my fingerprints into the DigitalPersona program, it says the fingerprint scanner is not detected. It used to work when had Vista (x64) on my computer, so it shouldn't be a hardware issue. I have tried installing the driver used for Vista and that did not work either.

Acrobat Reader not detected

Hi
I have enrolled in the Microsoft IT academy, and was able to complete the work, when one day the check at the beginning no longer detected acrobat reader plugin. i updated and reinstalled acrobat reader, but it is still not picking up the plugin. how do i fix this?
thanks

Interesting, thank you. Just a mistake, I think, or a very old site. It stopped being called Acrobat Reader almost 10 years ago.
My advice is to test that Adobe Reader is able to show a PDF in your browser window (NOT in the Adobe Reader window). Here's a link to try: http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/pdfs/PackingLightBrochure.pdf
What happens?

Hello bbroecker37
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand you are experiencing an issue with your notebook. However, since this is a commercial notebook, you should post your issue on the notebook board of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.
Have a wonderful day!

Why does my macbook pro's built-in card reader not detect my SD card?

I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina (Late 2013) and it has a built-in card reader. My SD card was working perfectly with the reader some days back, however, now it has all of a sudden stopped working! The funny thing is that when I put the same SD card into an external card reader connected to the same macbook, it works perfectly. Also, strangely, my card reader still works perfectly well with another SD card I have.
So, both the card reader and the SD card appear to be working separately, but why are they not working together?

two things to try
1. Reset SMC data. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
2. Do not push the card(s) all the way into the slot . back it out a fraction 1/16-1/8 inch until it appears in finder/desktop/etc...

It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

Standard practices:
Restart the device (power off completely, then back on) - retest.
Reset (hold sleep wake and home buttons until apple logo appears) - you can try this, but it is most useful when your device is frozen.
Restore to factory settings - retest.
Make an appointment at an Apple retail store genius bar if the above did not resolve the issue.
HTH.

HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
