Fingerprint Reader Turns off

Hi,
I hadn't run the Lenovo Device driver in a while, so I ran it and updated all of my software/devices.  Not sure if it's a coincidence, but now my finger print reader keeps turinging off.
By that I mean that there is no light on fingerprint reader.  When I launch the Fingerprint Software, then the light goes on and allows me to register/delete fingerprints.  As soon as I close the software, the light goes out.
If I try to open the password manager then I get:
"The requested operation requires fingerprint authentication, but the device is not installed.  Please make sure the device is connected and retry the operation."
Any thoughts?

I registered on this site for the exact same reason. Updated drivers and a whole boatload of issues came up on my computer. 
1) fingerprint reader is said to not be installed. It works for booting up the device but not for password manager. Power setting is such that it will not be turned off.
2) the sound buttons (up down and mute) sometimes do not work when watching a video. If I go to a different window without video they will work.
3) scroll button (red dot and middle button) changed to something that was really annoying where if you where on a link it would not scroll.
I rolledback to previous good state (using thinkpads built in software for this called Rescue and recovery i think) but issues where still there. So I again installed the drivers. The scroll is back to normal but 1 and 2 remain.... 
Any ideas?

  • How to turn off BioExcess fingerprint reader?

    Lenovo V570 with Win7 Home.
    I enrolled two fingerprints to use instead of a password. If I want to go back to using my password to login, how do I shut off or disable the fingerprint reader?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but that didn't help. So I chose a restore point before the problem first appeared and ran a system restore. Now BioExcess works as it should.

  • Why does my iPad Mini Retina Display battery drain so quickly? I will be playing some 3d games and it says the battery is 90% but I'll turn off and turn  in back on it about 30 minutes and the battery is only 70%. Why is the reading so inaccurate?

    I will be playing some 3d games and it says the battery is 90% but I'll turn off and turn  in back on it about 30 minutes and the battery is only 70%. Why is the reading so inaccurate? I understand that 3d games on high brightness will drain my battery quickly, but why doesn't it tell be how low it is to begin with? The other night it said it was around 35% and I turned it on in the morning and it was only 3%?

    Sorry there are some typos above, but you should be able to figure out what I'm asking. Let me know if you have tha same problem, know how to fix it, or know if apple is aware of the problem and is adressing it in a future update.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen suddenly turned off and wont turn on again and itunes doesn't read it

      this is the second time my ipod does it. My ipod just turns off. Last time I found the ipod like that i tried turning it off and hard resetting it also and nothing happens. I also tried connecting it to itunes and itunes cant read it. yet, after like an hour i tried again to reset it and it worked. but this time i did the same thing and it wont turn on..

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I turn off automatic updates in Adobe Reader 9.3.0?

    I don't see any way to turn off automatic updates in this version.

    You can use the menu option 'Edit => Preferences => Updater' to adjust how updates are handled. If you have a corporate install, you might not have this option available and then you would need to talk to your System Administrator. If you turn it off, then you will need to manually check for updates since there are always updates to Acrobat/Reader that are needed to block new security threats.

  • I need help doing a clean install.( keyboard shortcuts?).Macbook will not read any of the disks/ turns off

    I installed a new 'used' Logic board, im my macbook 13.3 and it turned right on!..( i was out of warrenty)
    Apple logo and spiing wheel, then turns off..
    After reading several forums, I went into self mode, did the 2 checks within in and got an error which pointed to the OS software being currupted..
    so I have  inserted the Os disk, the disk-repair disk and a disk warrior disk, but none of them are being read. I hear the Macbook starting to read the disk then the disks are ejected and the systen turns off.
    Is there a way i can do a clean install on the HD? shortcut keyboard shortcuts?
    or force the disks to be read as the first boot device like of that  in a PC's bios settup?
    I have no data on the computer that I wish to save btw.. just want a fresh install..
    thanks for any help in advance.

    Unfortunately the necessary software to reinstall your OS is not located on the hard drive. If your MacBook will not accept the disks you have you are going to need a hardware repair, probably the optical drive.
    If you have access to another MacBook you may be able to install the OS on an external hard drive and use that to boot your MacBook. You may then be able to get any data off of your hard drive.
    Best of luck.

  • TS1717 While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl"  cannot be read  because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please :(

    While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl"  cannot be read  because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • How do I turn turn off the right pane in Adobe Reader XI?

    I have been using Adobe Reader since 2007, and recently I have been unable to turn off the right pane while reading. If anyone knows how I can deal with this problem, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Don Randall

    How To Turn Off The Right Pane
    To stop the "Tools|Comments" sidebar from automatically opening every time you open a PDF so that you can view your PDF in full screen, this solution worked for me on both my desktop PC and laptop.
    This is the solution:
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Services (for win7 64-bit) or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Services (for win7 32-bit)
    Find and Delete these 2 files: DEXShare.spi and DEXEchoSign.spi
    Yes, you will still see the word "Tools| Comments" at the top but at least your PDFs will open in full screen and you won't have to click "Tools" to hide that stupid sidebar every time you open a PDF.

  • Reader X issues Viewing PDF's with IE downloads turned off

    First off, Our company has a policy that Internet downloads are turned off through GP for IE. We recently upgraded from Adobe 6.06 (had active x control to view PDF's online) to adobe X. We are looking for a way to view PDF's through the IE 8 browser with file Downloads disabled. When trying to view a PDF on the Web, we get "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". Previously, the active x control in reader 6.x allowed viewing PDF's on the web. Is there any way to allow this in adobe X? can code be written to alleviate this? Is there a solution? HELP anyone please. It's driving me NUTTY!!

    The read receipts you are seeing are for the other person when they have read your messages.
    On their iPhone they have Settings > Messages - Send read receipts to On.
    The settings on your iPhone are for sending a read receipt to others. With this Off, they will not get a read receipt when you read their messages.

    My phone just turned off and won't turn back on. I've read the posts saying to hold down the home and power button but my power button is broke. Any suggestions?

    There is a thread or two about the home button and how to fix it at least temporally.  It sounds like some people have found it to be a rather permanent fix.  Do search on something like "Home button won't work".  It has something to do with putting the charging cable into the phone and applying a little extra pressure upward on the key.  Don't take my word for it though look for the thread/s.  You said originally that your "Power" button was broken and the thread I have seen is about the Home Button.
