Fingerprint reader doesnt work on Windows 7 64 bit

T410 and using the latest version 5.9.4. 
I can enroll my fingerprints and I can swipe my finger to get access to the software.  However, when my computer is locked I cannot use my fingerprint to unlock the computer.  If I use a not enrolled finger, it will tell me it failed, but if I use a valid finger, nothing happens.  If i swipe poorly with a valid finger it will tell me bad quality.
The previous software version did work before.  Not having any luck with the latest version though. 
Any ideas?
Thanks

You might want to uninstall things completely, then reinstall 5.9.4. Upgrading software sometimes goes awry, and security related software is more sensitive than other software.

  • Re: Fingerprint Reader Not Working On Windows 8.1 Pro Startup

    Model: ThinkPad Edge E420
    OS:       Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
    Problem: Fingerprint reader suddenly stopped working (Image 1). One major change I think which might have lead to this - I had a recent update from Microsoft on 28/Aug/2014 (Image 2). I'm not sure though that this must be the cause of the problem.
    Troubleshooting tried: I tried first to repair through "programs and features" but did not work. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall the FingerPrint reader software (Latest version available on Lenovo Website for my model). Still did not work. I'm pasting photographs of the error. I've tried to follow all the methods shown on various threads on this forum but nothing worked so far....Even the TouchChip (Fingerprint) patch driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)  which is compatible with Windows 8.1 doens't install. (image 3). Device manager shows error for Biometric devices. (image 4).
    Please help.

    For Windows 8.1 you should not be installing any fingerprint software.  You should uninstall ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software.  The driver you need (for TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor) will come from Windows Update.  Then you can enroll fingerprints from the PC Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in Options screen.
    If there is a problem with the device in Device Manager, try removing it and check the option to delete the driver software.  Then reboot, run Windows Update, and a compatible version for your system should be installed.

  • Fingerprint Reader Not Working On Windows 8.1 Pro Startup

    My fingerprint reader doesn't seem to work on Windows login anymore (no light on the reader and it doesn't accept any fingerprint) in the past couple of days so have to login using a password. The fingerprint reader works fine in the BIOS and also when I go into the ThinkVantage Fingerprint Reader application i.e. it asks me for a fingerprint. Has this happend to anyone else and has this been caused by a specific MS patch in the last monthly patch cycle?
    I have reinstalled both the ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software 64bit (v 8102) and the TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor driver (v 1.6.1.341).
    I'm running a W530 and fully patched Windows 8.1 Pro

    I downloaded the driver from Lenovo, uninstalled the Lenovo Fingerprint Software, restarted, installed the driver package which actually reinstalled the Fingerprint Software and it worked straight away without re registering my fingerprints. The strange thing is that it stopped working out of a sudden. I couldn't figure out, what caused that....btw the same happened to my bluetooth settings the other day. booting into BIOS, exiting without changing, restart and bluetooth was there again....hmmmm

  • Fingerprint Reader not working after windows password reset

    Hi There
    I was using windows login (single admin user) and fingerprint reader to login to my Thinkpad T510. Yesterday night I changed windows password and I didn't update finger print. Unfortunately I am not able to login when I tried to login using windows login today, I forgot the password and when I tried finger print reader it is just throwing error.
    Why finger print is not working after windows password reset? What should I do to login?
    Help would be appreciated!!

    I just called the tech support just now? I just asked the 'why the finger print reader not recognizing the finger print after changing windows password?', and he gave the following answers
    1. You should change fingerprint while changing windows password.  I don't understand the reason behind it, btw is this true?
    2. We can't do anything for this issue.

  • FIngerprint reader stopped working after windows automatic updates

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an Envy j109tx laptop.
    From day one the finger print scanner was not working. 
    After updating hp simplepass it started to work.
    Again today I installed some windows update. After that it stopped working.
    The light in the fingerprint reader is not turning on.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Someone please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    @naga5speed ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  First thing did you do the windows update due to your system having some issue?
    If not then do a system restore back before the update.
    It is probably some microsoft update that is conflicting with the driver.
    It is good to keep your system up to date.  But it is better to make sure before you run an update that you take a look as to why you are updating.
    Do I need to fix an issue?
    If i do not do the update will something stop working?
    Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
    If this fails to work then you may have to back up your data and run a system recovery.  The reason for this is what ever update you ran has made changes to system files or the registry that a restore will not fix.

  • ITunes 9.0.2.25 doesnt work on Windows 7 64-Bit!!! Have looked everywhere!!

    I first started to install iTunes 64-bit and the installation seemed to work well, but when i plugged in my iPod Touch this message showed up:
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
    Well of cource ive tried to uninstall and re-install without any luck. I also uninstalled everything that had something to do with apple (quicktime etc.) and went into registry editor and removed apples entries there under SOFTWARE, without luck.
    Then I extracted the iTunes installer, and got all of the .msi files.
    I cannot install "Apple Mobile Device Support 64", it seemes that it gets installed but it doesnt. No files are copied to the common folder, and I've checked both (Program Files and Program Files (x86))
    I cannot install MobileMe because it tells med that "Apple Mobile Device Support 64" is not installed. I have also tried to extract the msi files wiht Universal Extractor and coppied all of the files.
    I have also tried to install the driver manually but it tells me its not an x64-driver when I KNOW it is (the files are. usbaapl64.sys, usbaapl64.inf, usbaapl64.cat and usbaaplrc.dll) I manage to finally get "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" installed but get the error that "This device cannot start (Code 10)"
    I tried to select the iPod USB Driver but it still says "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" even when i open the driver and under the tab (Details) it says: Apple iPod USB Driver" but it cannot start.
    Please help!! I need to fix this. Im loosing my mind now.
    Thanks

    Listen up, I have no found and article on how to fix this problom. This seems to be a common problem with iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit, so this is a fix you can use until Apple fixes this problem.
    Since this article is from November 10th 2008, which is a very long time ago, it seems like Apple is ignoring this huge problem, but there is always away around but it might be a little complicated.
    First uninstall everything that has anything to do with Apple (iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple Update Software, Apple Mobile Device Support (if installed) etc etc. Then delete all Apple folders in Program Files (x86), also check the
    Program Files folder too.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    also check the : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple just in case.
    Now check for anything that has to do with apple (like "Apple Software Updater", "iTunes", "Bonjour", "QuickTime" etc in both of the Program Files directories and delete them.
    Now delete:
    C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Apple
    C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Apple Computer
    C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer
    C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer
    Then open the start-menu, write "Run" (without the quotes) and click enter. Write inn "regedit" (without quoutes)
    Goto: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE and delete "Apple Computer, Inc." and anything related to Apple, then go into HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE and delete "Apple Computer, Inc." and anything realted to Apple.
    Then Restart your computer.
    Now follow this guide:
    http://chris123nt.com/2008/11/10/get-ipod-touch-working-in-windows-7-x64/
    But make sure of 2 things:
    1. You have to edit one of the .reg files in the iTouchReg.zip that you are gonna download from the guide.
    2. You dont need to install itunes on a working Vista 64-bit computer, you can do an easier way.
    First lets take the easier way to get the Apple Mobile Device Support files.
    As the guide sais, you have to download the latest version of 64-bit iTunes.
    When you have downloaded it, download and install WinRar (if you dont have it, www.rarlabs.org)
    Extract the .msi files from the iTunes installation to a seperate folder.
    Now you need to download and install Universal Extractor.
    HERE: http://legroom.net/software/uniextract
    Extract the files from the file: "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi" to a seperate folder. There you will have the "Common Files" folder and you will find the folder "Apple" inside it that you need to copy to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common
    Files", and inside that folder is also the drivers that is explained in the guide. So then you dont need another computer, and you will get the latest version of the files.
    No the second thing you need to do, since the guide is pretty old, and iTunes has updated their iTunes alot of times (but still haven't fixed this problem), then you have to change the version in the AMDS.reg file.
    In the zip. file called iTouchReg.zip that you will download from the guide has 2 files.
    You will get 2 files:
    AMDS.reg
    and Service.reg
    open up AMDS.reg in notepad and edit the versions of 2 files.
    It will look like this:
    [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Inc.\Apple Mobile Device Support]
    "InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Apple\\Mobile Device Support\\"
    "Version"="2.1.1.13"
    I edited it to:
    [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Inc.\Apple Mobile Device Support]
    "InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Apple\\Mobile Device Support\\"
    "Version"="2.6.0.32"
    (You have to change it to the latest version that comes with iTunes, just right-click on the "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi" that you extracted from the iTunes installation with winrar, and click properties. Check the Details tab and
    under Description, you will se "Comment" there and the latest version will be there. Edit the .reg file to that version, in my case it was 2.6.0.32.)
    Now you need to check the Bonjour application, the FileVersion is the versio of the "Bonjour64.msi" that you extracted from the iTunes installation file with Winrar (using the same method as with the "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi"),
    the "Version" is the version of the exe file of the Bonjour exe is located, normally in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour\" in the details tab. Once you have changed the .reg file, save it and follow the guide that I linked to:
    http://chris123nt.com/2008/11/10/get-ipod-touch-working-in-windows-7-x64/
    (NOTE: PLEASE INSTALL iTUNES TO THE DEFAULT FOLDER "C:\Program Files (x86)\" so it wont be any problems.

  • T430s fingerprint reader fails in both windows 7 (64 bit) and ubuntu.

    Hi, 
    I have 4 months with my new t430s, and so far so good, I created a partition to instal ubuntu and I was able to have the finger print reader work in it. 
    The last week I left the laptop's battery to drain completely, but I did not notice it... I tried to wake it up but my fingerprint would not turn it on... I plug the charger on and the laptop started working again but now, my fingerprint log on was disabled, I had to type my pasword to log in...
    From that moment on, this issue consistently occurs in both windows & and ubuntu...
    The funny thing is that I can still turn on the laptop with my finger, the fingerprint reader indicator leds are working but the device only works to start the laptop. I have tried to delete the fingerprint data from teh BIOS, but I can still start the laptop, so I dont think this clear data command on the BIOS is doing anything...
    I have tried re-installing the device, updating the driver, etc and nothing works, the device appears as unnavailable on the windows biometric devices section of my control panel, so I cannot enroll any new finger print using the lenovo fingerprint software since I get these 3 errors in any attempt:
    E7210005 Cannot enroll user.
    E7210005 Cannot update passport.
    E7210005 Cannot find fingerprint sensor device.
    Any ideas?
    Is there a way to reset my device from the BIOS so al its data and its state is cleared?
    Thanks!
    Roberto O.

    I have heard of this exact situation one other time, where fingerprint sensor stops working properly after PC unexpectedly turns off due to low battery.  I think your fingerprint sensor has malfunctioned and needs replacement under warranty.  Currently, I do not know of any other solution.
    But can you please tell me:
    1.  how many fingers do you have enrolled?
    2.  do you use any BIOS passwords (such as administrator password, power-on password, or HDD password)?

    You need to make sure the machine have the corresponding NI-VISA installed. Check in the NI software pages for the right version.
    Also make sure that the com port's can be selected when you first start the application. Eg. if you refer to VISA "COM1" on the XP machine It might be "COM2" on the Win7 machine.

  • Fingerprint reader not working on elitebook 2540p

    I have elitebook 2540p, and I can't get my fingerprint reader to work.
    The driver is installed and looks good at device manager.
    I installed HP ProtectTools 5.12.754 and I can not see in the credentials area the fingerprint, only the smart card.
    I tried also with DigitalPersona software and it's the same.
    I have download the last driver from HP website under the correct operating system (Windows 7 enterprise 64bit).
    I think the fingerprint reader is working since I entered the Bios and there it worked when I swept my finger. I saw the image of my fingerprint on the screen.
    What might be the problem? why HP protect tool can not recognize my fingerprint reader?
    Thanks in advance,

    I have the same issue with the same laptop
    I've noticed that whichever driver you try and install, the version always seems stuck at 2.1.0.2

  • Lenovo T510 (4313CTO) fingerprint reader not working at first login

    I have a Lenovo T510 (4313CTO) system that until recently worked just perfectly. After I know not what - I have checked the Windows Update log, etc. - now, when booting, when the system reaches the Windows logon screen, the usual 'Please wait' message is displayed, but after maybe 30s of that, it reads 'No attempt to start this service has been made since the last boot'.
    This error only occurs on a fresh boot. When logging out and in again, it works correctly. I use the SSO function, so one finger swipe unlocks the hard drive and should log into Windows. The first BIOS swipe works fine, i.e. it cannot be a hard ware problem.
    After a little research, I reckon this 'service' that is not starting is upeksvr.exe, given pg. 66 of this Lenovo CSS document. The particular error message I believe is a Windows system error, no. 1077 given this MSDN article.
    After removing all of the Lenovo Fingerprint software and all fingerprint data, upgrading FPRS, downgrading, and having trawled the net for solutions to no avail, I have not had any success. A call to Lenovo yielded no help either (no surprise there...) I would really appreciate any help you can offer, to save me from having to reinstall the system!

    I had a similar problem, the first time I occurred after a Windows Update.  This time I formatted and made a fresh Windows 7 installation. 
    The next time the same happened again after I updated the system using the "Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update".
    When I tried to open the Fingerprint software directly the following message appeared “The dependency service or group failed to start" and the Error Code E7210001 appeared in details.
    This time I discovered in another forum while searching for another problem ( "Devices and Printers" did not load) that the problem was due to one of the services was disabled, the Credential Manager service.
    To correct this just type in Start the following: services.exe
    Look for the service: Credential Manager
    In properties the Startup type should be set to "Automatic"
    Press Ok and the next time you restart the computer the Fingerprint reader should work.
    Hope this solves your problem.

    You did not state your OS:  Assuming Windows 8 - 64bit
    HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers & Downloads
    Assuming you are on the latest HP SimplePass as shown on your website --
    this is important and where you need to be:
     sp61399 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.272 Win7-8
    NOTE: This version runs on Windows 7 AND Windows 8
    ==================================================================================
    When you say that you reinstalled the Driver from HP,
    Did you download and install the driver from your Website?
    Validity Sensor Driver:
    sp58900 Validity Sensor V4.4.234.0
    ==================================================================================
    You might try the following:
    Notebooks- Power Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues- Sealed Non-Removable Battery
    OR                                                  
    Notebooks - Power Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues - Removable Battery
    The Power Reset cannot tell the difference between drivers - it does not analyze a driver before applying it.
    EXAMPLE:
    If the driver on disk is the wrong driver before the Reset, it is still the wrong driver after the Reset.
    If the driver INSTRUCTIONS are tangled, messed up, or missing, then the Reset may fix the problem.
    Why a Power Reset works to fix some issues: 
    The Power Reset does not install anything on your computer, it does not remove anything from your computer, and the Reset does not "change" anything on your computer.  Your data and programs remain as they were before the reset was applied.  The Reset drains out the old instructions and makes the computer go to the Operating System on disk to get new instructions.
    Why a Power Reset might Not Work:
    If the issue is more than just entanglement, if the "good instructions" on the computer are not good enough -- that is, you need an update, a new driver, or there is a problem that cannot be "untangled", then the Reset will not work.
    If there is a hardware problem the Power Reset will not work.
    ===================================================================================
    If No Joy:
    Assuming that you can at least now see the Validity Sensor Driver in Device Manager > Biometrics
    Then
    Download your Validity Sensor Driver:
    sp58900 Validity Sensor V4.4.234.0
    Open Control Panel > Device Manager > Open your Biometric Devices >
    Right Click on your Validity Sensor Driver > Uninstall (AND Tick to delete)
    Reboot the Notebook and log in
    Install the downloaded Validity Sensor driver
    Reboot the Notebook and log in

    Do not skip the requested reboots...
