Fingerprint sensor not working for Windows 7 login

I recently re-installed my Windows 7 Bit and also installed ThinkVantage Client Security Solution v8.30.0049 together with ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software 5.9.5 on my T410s.
I enrolled some fingerprints without a problem and checked the setting "User fingerprint scan instead of password when logging into Windows". In the Windows login screen I see an icon for fingerprint login and the green light next to my fingerprint sensor is turned-on expecting the scan.
However, when I scan my finger, the green light blinks once, pauses, and then blinks a second time. Nothing else happens. I do not get logged into Windows. Any idea what the issue may be?
Solved!

If you're logging into a domain, then you need to configure windows to allow domain logon with a fingerprint.
type "change biometric settings" into the start menu

Activesync not working for Windows Phone with certificate

We have a new Exchange Server 2013 setup and using activesync. We have setup a policy to require simple password and to send an email to provision a device when it connects. Activesync is setup to use self signed certificates, this was
tested first on the Ipad. Certificate installed entered the settings and the device appeared in the quarantined devices list awaiting to be approved. This was also done on the Iphone and worked.
When putting the same certificate on the windows phone device it errored with there is a problem with {as.domain-name.net} and does not appear in quarantined devices screen.
I tested again with another Ipad and an android device and they work without an issue. Tested with a Windows RT device and got the same issue. If I look in the IIS log files I can see the windows device making a connection then when I presume
to be the error 500 at the end of the line.
This is not a user issue as I can use the same user on the various devices. The windows devices just do not want to connect. We have looked at the certificate but if it works for apple and android devices why does it not work for windows?
Is there any additional security settings that need to be turned on or off for windows phones? Is there something specific on the certificate what windows devices need that others ignore?

I did inital think it might be a widows phone issue but there are no other settings for me to use. I have also tested using a windows 8 surface and I get the same issue.
I have raised the event log level on the exchange server to expert and I have seen 2 messages when I try to connect.
I get Event ID 1100: Exhcnage ActiveSync device requests for your uses are being blocked. This problme frequently occurs when HTTP OPTIONS method is not allowed.
I know it is allowed as the test exchange connectivity worked and passed that test.
The other error Event ID 1309 ASP.NET warning. Part of the exception messge is DeviceTypeMissingOrInvalid
I have come across a comment that says for certificates to work you need to use windows intune or SCCM which we don't have. Do we know if this is true?

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 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.

Java 7 U25 work around does not work for windows 8

I'm working on a java application which uses the statistical software R. This line Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1 + "/bin/" + "R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R"); in the application started throwing an error after the java 7 u25 update, but it was fixed by using the work around setting jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands to true. This fix however does not work in windows 8, although the command does not error out with "cannot create process = 2" it just executes the line, but does nothing. But if I typed the command (R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R) directly into the commandline, it works perfectly. I've tried disabling the work around, and actually using suggested solutions in the release notes (see below), all worked in windows 7, but no success with windows 8. Any suggestions would be great
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("c:\\Program File\\foo.exe").start();
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "c:\\Program File\\foo.exe" });
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"c:\\Program File\\foo.exe\"");

avancentcisco - Win7 works fine with SSL VPN. But since we all were migrating to Win8, this was of no use to us. So we ditched SSL VPN all together.
IPSec VPN with Cisco VPN Client (version 5.0.07) works absolutely fine on Windows 8. Once you get the set up right, everything works fine (we are using full tunnel) including internet access.
If you struggle to get it working then let me know and I can help you out. There's not much info out there on the internet. I had to do it the hard way.

Validity fingerprint scanner not working on Windows 10

I downloaded the Validity driver from the website, but my fingerprint scanner isn't working. When I was running the Insider previews it did work and I was able to use Windows Hello. But now with the full version, it does not work. Is there an updated driver or one from another device that would work?

Your solution might depend on your particular setup. Reference:HP ENVY dv6t-7300 CTO Quad Edition Notebook PC ========================================================================Scenerio 1You have HP SimplePass installed -- and you did not say whether or not this is the case -- AND you are running (some version of) the original Series 6 HP SimplePass program that was installed (shipped) with your computer. This Series of the program may, or may not, want to run in your new Windows 10 Operating System. I have read one member's claims that Series 6 HP SimplePass, that is, HP SimplePass probably version 6.0.100.276 -- does run in Windows 10. I cannot verify that is the case. How? Reinstall the existing Validity Driver:Uninstall - do NOT delete the Driver from the Device ManagerReboot (Restart) the computer and log inCheck to make sure your Sign-Options are set in PC Settings If your Series 6 HP SimplePass program is not behaving itself, that is, the program starts and then balks, the Splash screen starts / stops / flashes / freezes, then you might try: Hard Reset / Forced Reset"Repair" the SimplePass program (Programs and Features)Tryoverloading the program, that is, installing the program over the top of itself without removing the existing program from the computer. ========================================================================Scenerio 2 You have been running Series 8 HP SimplePass.

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
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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

Hi:
See if installing the W8 Validity driver and simple pass software from a different model PC work for you.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply but I can't see the option to reach the "deployment" perspective. Its not available for me.
Btw, I'm using SAP NetWeaver 7.1 Composition Environment SP12 PAT0000 Build id: 201105061501.
Also, I have checked a few SDN posts about using the "undeploy" tool after connecting using telnet, but I can't use that method too as telnet ports are blocked by firewall. We use different method to connect to the OS, if required.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Deoraj.

Serial Number for CS5.5 Production Premium that I received for Mac download not working for Windows

My ProductionPremium CS5.5 serial number for my Mac is not working when I download and install ProductionPremium CS5.5 on my windows machine. Do I need to deinstall on my mac or get another serial number issued?

This is expected. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current versions. You need to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.
