Fingerprint software / Windows XP login issue

Z61P 9452-J6G
Dear friends,
I cannot login any longer on my Z61p since I upgrade the fingerprint reader software to the last version.
I had a look at the 47 psts linked to fingerprint keyword but I have found nothing related to the problem below.
After restart, the fingerprint software starts automatically and request to "enroll" the user. I did "enroll" my current user meaning scanning fingerprints and associating the fingerprints with the Windows password.
Every time I start the computer, the enrollment software always starts automatically.
I cannot enroll again with same user (passport name <current user> cannot be used with same passport)
I cannot change the user (fields with user name and domain are greyer)
I did tried to use another local user. The software enrolls it and, now, I have the same issue with this user.
Every time, I cancel the fingerprint software, the computer ends the session.
I tried to use Ctr/Alt/Del to open another process but without success (nothing happens)
It is difficult to give more details on the system installed as I have no access to it.
Basically, Windows XP is up-to-date (I did upgrade everything last Friday) and all programs linked to ThinkVantage are also upgraded (my current issue is a consequence of the upgrades)
Access Connections is up and running (apparently, the laptop is able to log to my network)
I have tried to reset the fingerprint software in the BIOS but it has changed nothing in Windows.
At BIOS, I have security to Normal (meaning no supervisor or hard disk passwords)
BIOS settings for Fingerprint
Predesktop authentication: disabled
Reader priority: Internal
Security mode: Normal
Erase fingerprint data: I did tried but it has no effect on Windows fingerprint data (I could still login at Windows with my finger print)
Thanks in advance for your help

I have EXACTLY same problem on T61.
The solution I found is following:
1. Start Windows in Safe Mode (using F8). Not with Network or Command Prompt - those will require figerprint scan...
2. Run C:\Program Files\ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software\ctlcntr.exe
3. Settings -> System Settings -> Logon - Select "Standard Windows logon"
I hope you have your laptop back after re-starting :-)

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus." As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

WARNINGS in Console include:

There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues?
I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

Worksapce login issue

Hi
I have installed Hyperion, and i think all is ok. All services are running.
My Hyperion is installed in:
Windows 2003 SP2
Oracle 11g
But when I run EPM System diagnostic I get a problem with login in the Workspace service/login.
This is the message that I get:
FAILED SSO Availability of login http://norhyperion:45000/workspace/browse/configInfo
Error: Could not login to workspace
Recommended Action: Check if all services run. Check user name and password
If I try to login to workspace in the page http://norhyperion:45000/workspace/browse/configInfo, I cannot login with the user(admin/password).
I try to login in the shared services page with this user, and all is working.
Any ideas what went wrong in my installation?
Thank You
NomrHyperion

Hi Norm,
This what I did when I had this issue.
First check if process manager and Workspace Agents are running. If you cant start process manager, or workspace agents, try to check the Listener and Oracle DB(if you are using Oracle) services if are running, if not started. If you still cant run the services, or have login issue, then you must reconfigure the Workspace and
Run EPM System Configurator
First reconfigure:
Hyperion Foundation
- Common Settings
- Configure Database
- Deploy Application Server
When this reconfiguration finish, run EPM System Configurator again, and reconfigure the rest of Workspace and Management Architect.
In my case I reconfigure:
Calculation Manager
Performance Management Architect
Workspace
After this I restart the server.
Then back to the first check again... check if Process Manager and Workspace Agents are running. If not:
Check the Listener and Oracle DB(if you are using Oracle) services if are running, if not started
Then try to start the Process Manager service(you can also try to start the Workspace agents in the menu. Windows -> Start Menu -> Oracle EPM System -> Workspace - > Start Workspace Agent Services
Try all this, then start the EPM System Diagnostic again and check if all services are ok(some times Essbase Studio is not started, start it on the menu -> Essbase Studio - Start server).
This is what I did to fix my problem, and fix all the problems Now all services and EPM are running.
Hope this can help you

SSRS Windows Authentication Login

Hi guys, I have been battling with this issue for the past 2 days.
I have deployed my ssrs reports to my test server.
Anytime I try to access the report manager or reportserver url from another client pc, I am being prompted with a Windows Security Login.
My client user isn't an part of the domain, but I want to disable that Windows Security prompt
Steps I have taken
1. I changed the rsreportserver config authentication type to <RSWindowsNTLM>
2. I have added an execution account(Local administrator) in the Report Configuration Manager
3. I have added the Credentials Stored Securely on the report server settings.
After doing all this, I am still prompted with the Windows Security.
Please What Do u thing I am missing here?
Guys I am counting on you.
Thanks.

Hi earlgood77,
As the error message said, the issue occurs because the remote SMTP server requires authentication, however, the report server is configured to use Anonymous authentication. To address this issue, we can create a virtual SMTP server on the report
server computer which has IIS and IIS Manager installed, and relay mail to the desired SMTP server.

Login Issues: Win7, Skype 6.14

Hi
I've had login issues since just after I accepted a windows update last night. (no idea if that's just a coincidence?)
I've read thru several other posts here, tried re-installing skype several times (also re-installed an older version), checked compatability mode and still no joy. oh, I rebooted a few times too.
I'm trying to login using my skype username and password (I don't have a ms account) but the screen is just stuck there, it says signing in and the whirly thing (techy term lol) is just whirling round and round.
I luuuurv my skype, absolutely essential for me as I work from home, so I hope someone can help. Pleeeease
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ah, surprise, still no joy.
downloaded trillian too but that won't let me create an acount and just supplies error messages with no explanation to enable me to correct whatever the (well hidden) error is.
just think, i could be working in a cubicle instead of this high stress work from home life!
if skype access is my biggest stress i'm pretty sure I'm still happy doing what i do lol
added bonus - i'm often on the phone 3-4 hours a day so with no skype it's got very quiet here lol
(can ya tell i'm bored though with no one on skype to talk to? lol)

DRM login issue

Hi Experts,
I installed Hyperion DRM 11.1.2.1 in Windows 2008 server.
Created the DRM Schema and the objects using the generated scripts.
I have entered the repository admin ID(DRM_DB in my case) and password and saved the configuration.
Test connection is successful.
I can start and stop the application.
I can also open the URL: http://localhost/drm-web-client/Logon.aspx.
But when I am entering the admin ID and password, it is saying DRM-61025:unable to create user session. Reason: Login failed. Invalid username or password.
Please help if you have faced this problem. Let me know if you need more information.

Business Objects XIR2 Infoview login issue

Hello -
I have a typical issue with BO Infoview login screen where the system name is showing incorrectly. The value should be coming from the configuration from web.xml file but it shows a totally different name with no option to update it. I checked the windows registry and system valiarbles but I haven't found anywhere on the system. Any ideas where this value is coming from ? Thanks.

Thanks Denis. I see that the login issue has been resolved, but I noticed a different error when I login and logout from CMC. Here's the error message... not sure if this is connected to the previous one.

Very slow Windows domain login over IPSec VPN

Hi
I'm experiencing very slow Windows domain logins over an IPSec VPN connection. The AD is in Site 1, some users are in Site 2. Two Cisco ASA firewalls connect both sites by an IPSec VPN over the Internet.
I made some registery changes on the Windows XP client on site2 to let Kerberos communicate over TCP instead of UDP. Still the logins take extremely long (45 minutes). Profiles are very small, so there had to be a problem with Kerberos, MTU sizes or somethin like that. I already changed the clients MTU settings to 1000 byes, but login is still very slow. I made some sniffer logs...
Does anybody know what the problem can be ?
Regards
Remco

Hi Remco,
The most common issue with slowness over VPN is going to be fragementation. In general below are the recommendations to avoid fragmentation
1. For TCP traffic, use "ip tcp adjust-mss 1360" on the Internal LAN Interface on the Router. If you are using GRE then configure "ip mtu 1400" under the Tunnel Interface.
If you are not using GRE then the value of "ip tcp adjust-mss" depends on the type of transform-set being used E.g. AES\3DES etc, so you can increase the value of TCP adjust command from 1360 to a higher value. Though I will start from 1360 first for testing.
Also take a look at the below article for MTU Issues

Ciscoworks 3.2 login issue with ACS

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with login into Ciscoworks portal from the LMS server, which is integrated with ACS tool.
Now I am unable to login to the portal with the username and password, which is already configured in the ACS server.
I have ended up with reinstalling the ciscoworks software and restored the backup, still problem persists. Please let me know how to fix it.
If I again reinstall it, how would I restore the backup - since back restoration again gives the login issue.
If Im using only the dcrcli exported devices list after the reinstallation, all the devices gets stuck in DFM question status, hence I restored the proper backup. Now I am stuckup. please help.

You need to sort out your DNS get the lookup and reverse lookup working.
Say your device is a box with
Fa 0/0 10.10.1.1
Lo 0 172.32.1.1
If you get you dns to resolve the address of port Fa 0/0 (10.10.1.1) to the DNS "name adevice.yournetwork.com".
Next you get your DNS to resolve the name "adevice.yournetwork.com" to 172.32.1.1 with happens to be to Lo0 interface of the device
Then you can get LMS to use the address you want as it is configured in DNS
Cheers,
Michel

Adobe Software windows override all other applications.

Adobe Software windows override all other applications. - Anyone have this issue with CS4 and Leopard?
For example: Whenever I'm opening multiple documents in, say, Illustrator CS4, while the windows are opening in the "background" and I'm attempting to surf the web with Firefox, each time a subsequent file is opened in the Adobe application, the Adobe application shifts to the front and whatever other application I was using shifts to the background. It may sound trivial but this is really quite annoying and time-consuming to have to constantly shift back and forth.
I'm not sure if this is an Adobe or Apple issue, but I'm really finding too many quirks and conflicts between CS4 and Leopard that weren't issues in older versions of either companies previous software (say, CS3 or CS2 and Tiger).

This is for CS4 since CS4 changed it's document management scheme. I've done a little experiment, not extensive but enough to have an idea.
In Illustrator, if you have the 'Open Documents As Tabs' checked (Preferences-->User Interface), it seems to work as it should. This is true if you have the Application Frame on and off. If the Tab preference is off, what you experienced in your post is what happens. This is also true if you have the Application Frame on and off.
Photoshop is a bit different. If the Application Frame is on, the documents open as you would expect regardless if you are using the Tabbed function. With the Application Frame off, opening documents work like you want it to only if you are using the 'Open Documents As Tabs' checked (Preferences-->Interface)
That is just my experiment. If you could, replicate what I have done let me know. I would like to know if this behavior is replicable.
I don't know if this is an Apple or Adobe issue because different applications behave differently. I tried another experiment: opening the same documents (opened in PS and AI) in Apple apps and other apps. If I open the docs in any Apple app (that I have), they exhibit a behavior that would expect, opens in the background. If I open docs in non-Apple apps, they exhibit different behaviors, ie Graphic Converter shows you that it is opening the document by showing the outline of the window in Genie Effect but does not actually show the window contents, and they open in the background.
Weird...

No AC Power, Battery not charging, Windows boot up issue

Searched the forums but could not find an answer for my specific problem.
COmputer: L355 - S7905
Windows XP Professional
Issue: installed new motherboard. When on AC power, laptop shows a steady green LED light but will not boot up without the battery installed. Will not stay running when the battery is removed or dies. When plugged into AC power, battery charging light is on but battery continues to lose power; will not charge. Had the computer operating properly initially but noticed the power issue. I ran a chkdsk on one of the subsequent boot ups and now have a "config.sys file missing" error and can not get into windows any longer. I was going to try some of the battery charging suggestions listed on this forum but no longer can get into windows or the recovery council. Last screen attainable says to select "R" to repair system using a Windows disk. Can not get to a DOS prompt.
Status so far:
- Ran volt meter check on power adapter and getting steady 19 volts. Various motherboard checks with a voltmeter are seem normal.
- All LED lights on laptop are indicating the computer is working in a proper state (ie power light on, batt charging light on, HDD light on when in use, etc)
- replacement motherboard is the EXACT same motherboard as the original. Same model - identical.
- Can get passed BIOS screen successfully; can get into boot options screen (Safe Mode options, command prompt, etc) but all options eventually default to an error message I get from the chkdsk program and I can not go any further.
- Laptop did not come with an original Win XP restore disk.
- Battery is a replacement but is the exact same part number as on the Toshiba original battery. Battery seems to be operating perfectly once it is charged (had to go to computer accessory store for charge)
Questions:
- Why is the AC power only not able to run the laptop?? Is it a software issue??
- Once I can get into the windows OS, I presume I should be able to correct the battery not charging issue . . . is that right?? Sounds like it is a software issue from what I have read on the forums. My plan was to reinstall the Windows operating system but I can not do that on battery power alone.
Any suggestions on how to proceed??
Thank you - Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lawrence - Your suggestion was right on target, the replacement adapter solved my power problem. I would have never believed that to be the problem since the digital voltmeter was indicating the required 19v from the defective adapter, I would obviously NOT have figured this out on my own. Thanks for your time, response and help on this issue, I really appreciate it.

Wan & login issues ?

Running 6 Netware 4.2 servers, Windows Xp/Nwclient 4.9 SP2 and a few
Windows NT4/Nwclient 4.30/ Zen 1.1 Starter pack. We use Workstation
Manager and DLU. Users launch Naldesk on Windows XP and Nalexpld on
Windows nt4. Both are called from the login script and launched from the
server. We have one ROOT partition, and all the servers have a RW replica
of this partition. Although not an ideal design, this all has worked
flawlessly for years.
This weekend we moved part of our network to another building and
therefore now have a WAN IPX environment. We don't have any users at the
new location yet. Some users at our original location are now having login
issues - they get the " red N" icon like its trying to login but nothing
ever happens - there's no error message and they don't get logged in. I
let one user/workstation stay like this overnight and still nothing!
Where can I look to troubleshoot this? I can't find any error logs and
can't find any consistencies between the incidences & resolutions. It
seems a number of reboots / or reselecting the Tree/ Context / Sever in
the Advanced tab SOMETIMES helps. I saw a tid / post about settings in the
client if you are running Zen across a wan...do I need to do this (bad
address cache, server name cache, etc) We aren't really running Zen across
the wan though - users load nal/nalexpld from the server in their
location, not a server across the wan.
I know IPX across a wan is not good, but we are only running NW 4.2 so we
don't have a choice. I have the client properties set up to default to the
server in the user's location rather than across the wan, and to load NAL
from a server in their location rather than across the wan.
Thanks

Try posting in the Client Forums.
