Fingerprint software, Window 7 and single logon feature

I have a T400s, when I got my machine and had Win7 rc installed on it, it was somehow setup so that when the machine was down, I could swipe my finger, and the machine would boot up and login directly into my account. The fingerprint reader seem to be active even when the machine was powered down.
I did a fingerprint data reset from bios so that I could do a clean install for Win7 (released version). But now the fingerprint reader does not seem to be active until I press on the power button. Does anybody know if it is possible to restore the previous behaviour ?
It look strange that the fingerprint reader was active before power up but it was so convenient.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Make sure you have the Lenovo UPEK (beta) drivers/utility installed. Go to the ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software utility, under Settings make sure "Use fingerprint scan instead of power-on button" is checked. If you don't have such an option, try uninstalling and reinstalling the "TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor" driver.

T500 Fingerprint software issue

I have an odd occurrence during login when the Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software is installed, and yes I am joined to a domain. Versions tested to date are 5.8.2.4462 & 5.8.5.6580. This also occurs whether a user has fingerprints registered or not.
I don't receive the [Ctrl][Alt][Del] prompt when the laptop starts up - v5.8.5.6580 does warn during a manual setup that this might happen.
Without registered fingerprints and the GINA still defaulted from Vista:
- The login banner is displayed, where I select the [OK] button.
- Then, 'Other User' is displayed.
-- I select that and am then provided the username/password prompt so that I can login
With registered fingerprints, and the GINA modified:
- The login banner is displayed, where I select the [OK] button.
- 'Please scan your finger' is dispayed
-- swiping the reader takes me directly to the desktop
-- using the option [Esc] displays 2 icons - Fingerprint Logon and Other User.
--- selecting 'Other User' provides me the username/password prompt
--- Fingerprint Logon takes me back to the original prompt 'Please scan your finger'
--- should I not select either I can swipe the reader and it will login. However, the desktop seems to be sluggish to respond
Machine details:
T500 with Windows Vista Ent. x64
Should I uninstall the Fingerprint Software then the [Ctrl][Alt][Del] prompt is returned, I receive my login banner, and the 'Other User' prompt no longer appears. It is as though the GINA used by the fingerprint software is not being properly applied. If this is by design then I guess it's yet another nuance my company will need to adapt to.
Can anyone offer any assistance to resolve so that I can utilize the fingerprint reader?

GMAC-R60
As soon as you register your fingerprints this is enabled by default. I still see the 'Other User' listed should I need to log on as another user and select the [Esc] option. I would expect that using [Esc] would take me directly to the username/password prompt instead of an extended Welcome Screen where I have the 2 options - fingerprint scan and 'Other User'.
Another oddity is that I am only seeing this action displayed on my x64 machines; whereas my x86 machines are not impacted by the same behaviour.

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 :-)

True Suite Access Manager Fingerprint software

I have True Suite Access Manager Fingerprint Software on my toshiba satellite M300, the password bank function has stopped working correctly, at first when i would type in login and password information for websites etc it would pop up with the password bank dialog box to save info as it should. It has now stopped doing that. Is there another way of utilising this function or making it work again properly? I am running windows vista.

Try removing the Fingerprint software, then download and install the latest version from the Toshiba website.
Also update the Value Added Package and the BIOS.

I have Windows7 Ultimate (MSDN) installed on my W700 and installed the Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software from the Lenovo Windows 7 Beta Page.
Often i logon in Windows the Splash-Screen of the Fingerprint-Software is hanging. Is it possible to disable the Splash-Screen via start parameter like /NoSplash or a Regkey entry?

It used to happen on my W700 with Win7 x64 too. What's worse, the FPR worked after the initial reboot after installation but failed to work after a further reboot: it would then hang on "please wait" and increase the password logon time. I uninstalled the FPR software and no longer use it...
The mentioned problem has been solved by installing the latest fingerprint software: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=WIN7-BETA#autc (7wf459ww.zip).

Hi there!
Please see this thread for the download links for the Fingerprint Software 5.8 ....
This issue was already raised in the ThinkVantage subforum here at Lenovo Forums and it is resolved.
Regarding the Turbo Memory, please keep in mind that the hardware only works with Vista. Windows XP does not support turbo memory thus the piece of hardware is rendered useless. With regards to Turbo Memory usage in Vista, the latest drivers do fully support the card in Vista and since there are no technological changes, there is no need for additional or new drivers.
Hope this helps!

Lenovo toolbox and fingerprint software stopped working on Thinkpad W700 Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

After installing Lenovo Updates an unknown USB device appeared in device manager. Per the instructions of a Lenovo support person I performed a system restore to a time prior to the updates. After doing that the Lenovo Toolbox and Fingerprint software would no longer work. I tried another system restore back to the latest date and that did not solve the problem. I also tried reinstalling both the Toolbox and the finger print software and they still won't work. When I try to launch either of those apps I get an error message saying that they have stopped working and that the system was checking online for a solution, with no result. It's my impression that the system restore screwed up something in the OS or the system registry that is a dependency for those two programs. The only suggestion Lenovo support could give me is to re-image the system. I would prefer to find the cause and fix that rather than reload the entire system. I would love to know what could cause these two programs to stop working when the other Lenovo utilities seem to work fine. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Which version of the tool box are you using?Mine would not open after installting updates but after installating the latest version its working fine

T400 Fingerprint Software in Windows 7 no longer working

A few days ago, after the usual windows 7 upgrade, the fingerprint prompt to swipe any enrolled finger just disappeared.
After several attempts of reinstalling of the fingerprint software what worked is as follows:
- From the control panel, Programs and Features, uninstall both the windows driver package and the lenovo fingerprint software;
- Download and install the latest lenovo fingerrpint software from the Lenovo support site;
- After the restart, you will be prompted to enroll one or more of your fingers. I was able to enroll one but then later I got an error message "cannot communicate with sensor" or something like it.
- What I did is to go to the control panel, device manager, then pointed to the authentec device and chose properties. Uncheck the box which says something like "allow the computer to switch off device to save on power".
- Then chose from the control panel, Lenovo's Fingerprint Reader and proceeded with the enrollment without any issues.
- Restarted the system, and it worked as smoothly as before. BTW, enrolled six fingers, three on each hand.

i would believe it might be the limiting of the number of programs during startup.
do a msconfig and configure it to startup only windows item only. See if this makes any diference

Deploying Windows 8.1 via System Center 2012 - Microsoft account default sign-in option when Fingerprint software is installed

Hi Everyone,
Just seeing if anyone knows a fix for this, basically when I deploy Win 8.1 using SCCM 2012, the deployment is successful, joins to the domain during the task sequence.
My issue at the moment is that, at the login screen it's defaulted to sign-in with email address (microsoft account) below I can select Domain or Fingerprint
How do I change it so that it defaults to Domain sign-in, when I deploy Win 8.1 without Fingerprint software, it defaults to domain sign-in which I'm after.
Device is Lenovo ThinkPad x240 AL
Many thanks,
Max

Hi,
According to your description, I'm not sure whether your system deployment is full successfully, if your system just had one User Account, you will doesn't have switch user option at login screen.
So, firstly, please check your computer user account after you login into system, make sure your domain user account has been created and enabled.
Scondly, try to use Switch User feature at Start Screen for test, make sure your system work properly. if not, you can try to use
netplwiz command to open User Account. In this interface, you can choose which user account as default user.
If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

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.
