Fingerprint scanner no longer works after Win 8 upgrade

HP Pavilion DV6T
Product Number: WW142AV
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)
I upgraded to WIN8 pro from Windows 7 home premium a few days ago. Now my Fingerprint reader no longer lights up or scans my fingerprint. I checked the driver in device manager and it says that the driver is up to date and that the hardware is working properly. I also downloaded the most recent update of Simplepass software for Win8 but it does not help.
This question was solved.

Nevermind, I found a good solution from user KingsRook14 on a microsoft answer forum. This worked for me!

My USB ports and fingerprint scanner no longer work...

This problems requires a bit of exposition and I'm bad with computers so bare with me. A few months I noticed my USBs were not working on my computer, So I tested the same USBs on another computer and they all worked so I knew something was wrong with my computer. I decided to try some "solutions" online and only made the problem worse.Before my computer would at least recognise that there was a USB and try to do something with it, only to fail miserably. If I remember correctly it would say something like "failed to install device drivers".Ever since I tried those "solutions" all it does now is make a noise when i plug in a USB. Oh and my fingerprint scanner no longer works. I remember messing around in the Device manager and messing around with things. Here is what I noticed. under the USB controllers tab there is a list that looks like this Universal Serial Bus Controllers HP Webcam Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers Unknown Device Unknown Device Unknown Device Unknown Device I'm certain I've done something horribly wrong...My question to you is...1. How can I fix this?2. in the event that I am unable to fix this, is it possible that restoring the computer to factory settings would do the trick?

Hello 15lrobin It would be more helpful if you tell us what computer model number you have and what the operating system is, so that the info we give can be more precise.

HT6114 HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Scanner no longer works with Mavericks upgrade

I have an all-in-one printer/copier/fax/scanner, HP Office Jet Pro 8500. The scanner no longer works with the Mavericks upgrade. Is it possible to get the scanner back in use? The printer and fax is fine, but I really use the scanner a lot. Please helap me.

The following link to the HP Support site indicates that scanning is still supported for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 using Mavericks but also indicates that "you may need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mavericks." See the FAQ section of http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03967522&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=4159&product=3752456&sw_lang=#N1237

Fingerprint Scanner no longer working in Windows 10

Hi, I just updated from Windows 7 to the Windows 10 technical preview (10130). The fingerprint scanner on my laptop no longer works. In Windows 7 when I used it with LastPass, it worked well. Now, it does not seem to register a swipe. I tried to grab the latest drivers from the HP support site, but that did not seem to solve the issue. Product number: A3E82AV Thanks.

Hi , I understand that you are having some troubles with the fingerprint reader on your system, after installing the Windows 10 tech preview. You may want to try updating to the current build which is 10162. Each update tends to have a series of fixes and new features, ( and sometimes a few more issues). Currently the only drivers for Windows 10 tech preview, are a part of the operating system. Also please read the following post Welcome to the HP Windows® 10 Technical Preview discussion board. by . It includes general information about the Tech Preview as well as links to the various Microsoft pages for preview. Also if you wish to get the free upgrade to the release version of Windows 10, when it comes out, you will probably want to go back to your original factory operating system, to qualify for it. I hope this helps.

ITunes no longer working after Song Upgrade.

I got onto iTunes store, was offered to upgrade 32 of my songs, I said "Yes". After the upgrading completed, iTunes main window pane no longer worked for anything but the iTunes store. It will play my music if I manually select it from the disk (via Finder) but does not seem to be able to display any of my playlists or my music library.
I am running Safari 3.0 (as an FYI).
Mac OS X 10.4.9 (on an intel mini).

Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling, or repairing the current copy of iTunes alone doesn't fix the problem....
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

S230U Twist - Camera no longer works after Win 8.1

Hello all!
I've scoured the forums and tried EVERYTHING but I still cannot find a solution to my problem:
After I upgrade from Win 8 to Win8.1, my camera no longer works. It shows a gray screen with a camera and a diagonal line across it but the green camera light shows up; I also get a shutter sound when take a picture but the image is only of the aforementioned gray camera screen. I can't use the camera for video in skype or any other video chat function.
My Integrated Camera driver version is 3.4.7.26 (SunplusIT) dated 3/15/2013. I tried to upgrade but it seems to be the latest one.
I've also checked that the Lock Screen setting is set to ON for "Swipe down on lock screen to use camera".
SOMEONE, please HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm really sorry to hear that when you try to use webcam in your Lenovo S230U Twist, you are getting a crossed camera image.
Check if your camera is in normal or private mode. This could be happening because you might have set your camera in private mode.
Go into Lenovo Settings App and select camera.
There will be the options of Private and Normal.
Select Normal.
Also, in Settings > Permissions, make sure that Skype and other similar apps have permission to access the Webcam or Microphone.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

Hi,
After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
Any help would be appreciated

Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
I found this on My Oracle Support:
<h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
Sun SPARC Sun OS
Symptoms:
When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
Steps to be followed:
1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
2) Locate the following environment variable:
LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
#LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
(This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation

Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.

Hi,
After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
Cheers,
Herbie

Printing No Longer Working After Recent Upgrade

My printing suddenly stopped working after the latest upgrade (which upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15.2 to 2.6.15.4).
I discovered that arch is no longer auto-loading the parport_pc module. This is strange. If I run "hwdetect --show-modules", parport_pc is shown.
I do have MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" in my rc.conf file.
The quick fix is to add "parport_pc" to the list of MODULES in rc.conf.
Are others having this problem?
Rob

I just read your post. I am sorry I could not join irc. I was actually at work. It is very hard for me to use irc at work. Firewalls make life difficult!
In any event, I think I solved the problem.
Please see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=18747
Here is the complete post:
In my /etc/modprobe.conf file, there was the folloiwng line:
# Load lp support with parport_pc
install parport_pc modprobe -i parport_pc ; modprobe lp ; true
I believe that this line was in the original /etc/modprobe.conf file that came with arch 0.7. I don't remember ever adding it.
I commented out this line and I removed "parport_pc" from the list of MODULES to be loaded in /etc/rc.conf.
I rebooted and it worked. The modules lp, parport and parport_pc were all autoloaded at boot-up.
I should also note that right after the arch upgrade, I was experiencing CUPS daemon failure once and awhile at boot up. Somtimes cupsd loaded and sometimes it failed at boot up. Now it seems that cupsd loads reliably at every bootup. Problem solved!
The following are the remaining lines in my /etc/modprobe.conf:
# Load ppp-generic with modem drivers
install Intel536 modprobe -i Intel536 ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install Intel537 modprobe -i Intel537 ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install ltmodem modprobe -i ltmodem ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install ltserial modprobe -i ltserial ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install slamr modprobe -i slamr ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install slusb modprobe -i slusb ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
# OSS Compatibility
#install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; true
#install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; true
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.10 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2
alias sound-slot-0 snd-opl3sa2
options snd-opl3sa2 fm_port=-1 midi_port=-1 port=0x538 wss_port=0x530
options isapnp=0 dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
The modem driver lines came with the original /etc/modprobe.conf file in arch 0.7.
Should I also comment them all out?
Perhaps I should only have the lines for my old ISA sound card in the /etc/modprobe.conf file. Please let me know.
Has there been a change in the kernel or udev which makes it neccesary to make all these changes in the /etc/modprobe.conf file?

Flashcards for screen brightness no longer work after BIOS upgrade

I have a Toshiba Satellite T135D/1320S laptop, and last night I upgraded the BIOS to v1.90 under the recently released recall notice. AFter installing the BIOS, however, the Flashcard brightness controls no longer work. Whenever I press FN-6 or FN-7, the screen brightness Flashcard pops up and the toggle on the slider bar moves back and forth, but the brightness of the screen does not change.
I have disabled and re-enabled the Flashcards as suggested in a separate forum, and I've also downloaded the most recent display driver (AMD display driver v8.615). Neither effort corrected the problem.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Satellite T135D-S1320
Sometimes it helps to reset the machine. With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for half-a-minute. Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.
Another things to try is reinstalling the TVAP.

HP Photosmart D110a - Scanner no longer works after upgrading to OS Mavericks 10.9

I have an iMac. I upgraded my system to OS 10.9.5 Mavericks and the scanner of my multifunctional HP Photosmart D110a stopped working. Images imported by the scanner can not be saved in any format. I tried importing and saving from many different applications, as suggested in this forum, but none worked. I have read and researched this forum for at least 5 hours and none of the solutions worked! Neither for me nor for the people who had the same problem! I tried absolutely everything and nothing solved the problem! I downloaded drivers from various links provided, I reinstalled the printer multiple times, I read absolutely everything and no response from the HP team was satisfactory! The HP team indicates generic installation solutions, as if treating with stupid people. No objective response was presented! This seems like a joke! This is ridiculous!
Please, I require a clear and objective solution !!!
Thank you

Hi @LuloMusic
There is no full feature software and driver available from HP, but the OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU).
With this driver you can still print and scan, you just wont have HP software to scan from. Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is only available when using HP Scan software, thus it will not work because there is no HP scan software as apart of the Apple Software Update driver.
This explains the issue you are having with the Scan software. That program, and any other HP Software for that printer that is on the computer was intended for an earlier version of the operating system not 10.9. Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
Please complete the steps below to rid the computer of the incompatible software.
Scrub/ Uninstall
Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
* Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
At this point you can connect a USB cable from the printer to the computer and you will be able to print and scan, or if the printer is already on your network you can add the printer to your System Preferences with these steps;
Please ensure you are using the HP driver
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can choose the printer driver
Now you can scan using one of the following methods;
Method one: Scan from the Print & Scan window
Method two: Scan from Apple Preview
Method three: Scan from Apple Image Capture
I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions or have any difficulty using any of these methods, please let me know what method you are trying and what the issue/error is. You may also find the following document helpful; OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
I hope this helps.

PSE 7 Win Vista x64: Scanner no longer works after reinstall

Hello,
I was using my Kodak i1220 scanner no problem in Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 on Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 for several months (prior to that, I had been using PSE 6 with no issues).
Recently I did a clean install of Windows. I loaded Photoshop, then installed my scanner (in that order).
Now, when I try to scan, the scanner pulls through 2 pictures and then stops with an error stating that Photoshop was unable to obtain the file from the device.
Interestingly, the scanner works just fine with Photoshop CS4. However, I do not want to scan with that because it is an extra step to then have to save each image and then launch PSE to organize them. My mother is helping me with this project and I can't make her do that.
In terms of troubleshooting, I've uninstalled the scanner and PSE7, rebooted, installed the scanner, and then reinstalled PSE7, but the problem persists. I thought perhaps the order in which I installed the scanner and PSE might affect it, but perhaps that's not a factor.
Hopefully someone can provide some insight on this. We've scanned over 12,000 pictures into PSE in the past 6 months and I would hate for this roadblock to sabotage the project!
Thanks,
--David

Hi, is there anyone who might be able to help me with this?
I've tried uninstalled the scanner and Photoshop Elements, rebooting, re-installing the scanner, and then reinstalling PSE7, but the problem persists. I thought perhaps the order in which I installed the scanner and PSE might affect it, but perhaps that's not a factor.
Are there usually issues scanners if they are installed after PSE?
Thanks.
