Hard drive crashed - webcam & fingerprint scanner not working

Hello,
One fine morning my Lenovo 3000 V100 Hard drive crashed. I couldnot retrieve anything but external backups.
With advise from IBM service center i had to buy new hard drive and new OS.
I downloaded all drivers and restored almost everything but finger print scanner & webcam not working.
I was using both quite extensively. I couldn't find Omnipass software to restore my saved logins and could not find Biscam software for webcam.
The drivers i downloaded from lenovo but not working are:
Fingerprint driver : 62fi07ww.exe
Webcam driver : 62ds13ww.exe
Can you suggest some driver & software to restore these.
Thks

Hello Admins / Moderators,
No takers for this problem....

Envy 15 AMD A10 USB ports and fingerprint scanner not working

Hi
I've had my HP envy 15 about 2 months now and today all the USB ports as well as the fingerprint scanner stopped working. In the device manager I have 6 entries under the USB headding, all have yellow triangles next to them, all display an error code 19 in the properties.
I have tried uninstalling the devices in device manager and then performing a hard reset. I've attempted to locate the usb 3.0 host controlers for my laptop, but I've had no joy and I've tried running both the Microsoft and HP update facalities to try and force a driver update but so far nothing.
Somebody please help because I'm banging my head against the wall at this point.

Hello, @LeapM
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you cannot use any USB ports or the fingerprint scanner. That you have error code 19. I will try to assist you with this.
Here is a Microsoft document that may help you: Error codes in Device Manager in Windows. It will explain what the error code is and provide steps to try and resolve.
Let me know how this goes for you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

My hard drive crashed and I can not find my Photoshop CS6's serial number. What do I do?

I originally had Photoshop CS5 (bought DVD), but decided to upgrade to Photoshop CS6. When I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I purchased it online and did it through e-mail instead of DVD. The e-mail has disappeared, and my computer's hard drive crashed so I have no idea what my Photoshop CS6's serial number is. How would I be able to find it?

You cannot "connect" to it by using the serial number. The following has information from Apple regarding a lost or stolen device: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

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.

HP Probook 4540s: Fingerprint Scanner Not Working

Hi,
Problem: Fingerprint Scanner - Windows log in does not give option to log in via fingerprint scanner.
Overview: After installing fingerprint drivers from the HP site and using the HP Protect Tools to successfully enroll fingerprint, I tried logging in via this method but the windows log in screen does not display this option. Device manager correctly identifies and shows the fingerprint sensor - however, the control panel says no biometric devices detected.
I really need help in sorting out this issue. Details of what steps I took trying to make the scanner work are given below.
Specs:
1) Probook 4540s
2) Windows 7 64-bit
3) i5-3210m, 1Gb Hd 7650m, 4 Gb 1333Mhz, 750Gb 5400rpm, VFS 491 Fingerprint scanner.
Details of the problem and steps I took to install drivers:
After a fresh installation of Windows 7, I went to the HP driver site to download the latest drivers for Probook 4540s:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5229457&...
I installed the drivers in roughly this order:
1)realtek ethernet controller drivers,
2)audio drivers,
3) the chipset and USB 3.0 drivers (but not the Intel MEI driver)
4) Intel video driver: faced an issue such that drivers were not being allowed to install. After disabling switchable graphics in the bios, I was able to get these drivers to install.
5) AMD video drivers: installed after the intel HD graphics driver - installed but Catalyst Control Center was not being displayed. So I re-enabled switchable graphics in BIOS, re-installed these drivers and CCC was now available.
6) HP hotkey support
7) HP universal camera driver
8) Validity Fingerprint sensor
9) Synaptics Touchpad driver
10) Atheros wifi & bluetooth
11) Jmicron card reader
After driver installation, I installed the HP Protect Tools. After prompting for a PC reboot - which I did - it asked for setup of security etc.. Part of this pocess was the enrolling of my fingerprints - successful. However, upon log off/ restart of windows, an option to log in with the fingerprint scanner did not appear in the Windows log in screen.
I opened the Control Panel, and found there was no biometric devices tab, even though device manager showed biometric device and validity sensor (VFS 491). I then proceeded to uninstall HP protect tools and the validity driver for the fingerprint sensor, then made sure these services were running:
-Credential Manager
-Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
-DCOM Server Process Launcher
-RPC Endpoint Mapper
-Windows Biometric Service
-Plug and Play
Then as suggested in another forum post, I first installed this :http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe and then the validity drivers from 4540s drivers page, and then HP Protect Tools.
After reboot HP Protect Tools as before would enroll my fingerprints, but again no prompt at windows login came to log in with fingerprint. However, one change after the installtion of http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe was that in control panel there is now a tab for biometric devices; however, it says that windows did not find any biometric devices installed. An image is attached showing both the device manager and the control panel!
Please HP provide a solution. Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok problem solved. I dont know whether it is related to the installation of HP windows 7 Essential System Updates and Intel MEI driver or not - but I did install these.
What really worked without doubt was this - > install both the fingerprint drivers and then the HP Protect Tools. Once rebooted, open HP Protect tools, then go to administration in the bottom right corner -> Administrative Console ->Increase System security -> tick windows login security and your done. Now you will be able to log in via enrolled fingerprints.

Envy dv7-7202tx Fingerprint scanner not working

It was working until this morning. I woke up, turned laptop on, realized the built-in fingerprint scanner on my dv7-7202tx device isn't responding/working (no blinking at the start, it should be) I tried swiping my fingers over it, no response. I researched it online, one of the solution was to uninstall the HP Simple Pass program and the Validity Sensor driver under Biometric Devices and to reinstall both - I downloaded the Validity Driver (sp58900) off the HP website under my product , yet it's still not responding. The only problem here now is the Validity Sensor driver (HP Simple Pass is working fine). I opened Device Manager and scanned for hardware changes, now there's no Biometric Devices (or driver was it) but there is an unknown device under other devices (error code 43). I want the fingerprint scanner working again.
Note:
Yes, I did reboot after reinstalling. I even shut it down instead of restarting it.
I need help! Thanks!
EDIT: Also, I checked the Biometric Device under Control Panel, and it says Windows did not find any....
EDIT 2: In the Device Manager, I clicked on Show Hidden Devices, still no Biometric Devices ...

Hello LouieBot,
There was an update to the BIOS for this notebook on the 15th of last month. I'd like for you to begin there.
Simple Pass is located here amongst all your other drivers.
Please let me know what happens after you update the BIOS.
Good luck!

I installed a new bigger hard drive and now spotlight does not work with outlook to search for emails

My old hard drive was full so I went to an apple authorized provider to install a new bigger hard drive. They also moved the data and applications from my old drive to the new one. They did not use time capsule because their way was faster. After the installation I did have to reenter the product code key for Office 2011 for the Mac. However, now I find that I cannot do email spotlight searches in Outlook. When I put in the search - it comes up with no results. This is true no matter what the search. Any ideas of how to point spotlight to look in the email folders so I can do searches again. This is a feature I use daily - so I am concerned that I have lost this feature. Also, I am noticing that alot of the settings did not carry over to the new hard drive. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would recommend starting over and migrate using your Time Capsule backup however DO NOT do it wirelessly, connect using an Ethernet Connection. If you upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard then follow the instructions in this video, the kid is annoying but he knows what he's doing. Clean Install Of Snow Leopard video. Once you have installed and updated Snow Leopard then update using the 10.6.8 Update Combo, then log into the Mac App Store and re-install Lion and all it's updates. My guess this is an afternoons work.

External hard drive connected to Airport Extreme not working on PC

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.9.1 and my work laptop, which runs Windows 7. I have a WD 2TB external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme, with 1TB formatted for Mac and the other 1TB formatted in FAT format. My Macbook can connect to the drive and read/write perfectly fine, but I'm not even seeing the drive on my PC anywhere. I'm wanting to use the Mac formatted partition to backup photos and personal documents and the FAT partition to backup my work.
Is there a setup thing I need to do on either the Airport Extreme or on my PC to connect to have the drive visible? Both drives are setup to allow file sharing and my Airport Extreme is running version 7.6.4.
Thanks!

There are 3 different methods to establish a connection from your PC to the hard drive in this Apple support document:

Windows 7 Prof. decryption on an external hard drive (WD My Passport) DOES NOT WORK

I cannot decrypt files and subfolders of a top folder on a WD My Passport hard drive using the "advanced attributes" of folder "properties". (The "advanced attributes" of folder "properties" works
on the internal hard drive.)
I can decrypt a file individually on the WD My Passport hard drive using "advanced attributes" of folder "properties". However when I try to use "apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option, the
decryption DOES NOT WORK on files and subfolders. (The system does not generate any error message just runs through the items and leaves files and subfolders in an encrypted state.)
Is there another way to decrypt files and subfolders of a top folder?

I am having this same issue... it seems all my files have been encrypted and I am the original owner of them! Have you found a solution to this problem?

Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Click Time Machine
Click Options
Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

Thinkpad T61 fingerprint scanner not working..

I downloaded drivers for fingerprint scanner ,Am using win 7(32 bit)Its option is available in bios security settings..
but when i enter to operating system and software starts ,I swipe my finger to enroll fingerprint it doesn't work..it says bad quality etc.it shows 0% when i swipe my finger.does any one have suggestions?

I've found it works quite well, but you do have to align your finger in the same position each swipe. What I do is register the same fingers multiple times but from different angles that way it will recognise the finger from different angles. If you can't even get the registration to complete, then you could have a problem. Try swiping slowly and carefully the same way and make sure your finger firmly contacts the clear part of the scanner for the whole swipe. It's easy to skim over it and not make contact since the sensor is recessed in the palmrest.
If it still doesn't work I'd recommend trying a known good sensor. I have some I could send you, but you'd probably be better getting one in your area, but if you can't find one let me know and I'll see about sending you one.

Fingerprint Scanner not working on ThinkPad T440p under Windows 10

Question
The fingerprint reader on my ThinkPad T440p isn't working after updating to Windows 10.
I looked up my FP reader on the Windows Update Catalog for drivers, and the ones there are the same as what I have installed now under Win 7, over a year old. They don't have any Win 10 drivers listed in the Catalog.
Setting up the fingerprint reader is greyed out for me in account settings. Driver is installed and device is working. Pin is set.
Answer
On the screen where the fingerprint button is greyed out, check for a warning/error text at the top in red.
The message will be similar to: “Some settings are managed by your organization”. If this is displayed, try the following:
You can fix this problem by deleting a registry entry:
Open Regedit and navigate to here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinBio\Credential Provider
find the value "Enabled=0" and delete it.
Reboot, then try to enroll fingers again.
This registry entry gets set when you uninstall Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro on Windows 7, prior to the upgrade to Windows 10.
Additional considerations:
If you uninstall Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro before upgrading to Win10, then you run into the issue that you found with the "Enabled=0" registry which prevents fingerprint enrollment on Win10.
If you wait to try to uninstall Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro after upgrading to Win10, then you get an error message during the uninstallation like “Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro is not support on the operating system running” and the software cannot be uninstalled. Fingerprint will still work on Win10 even if Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro stays installed. This second scenario is being investigated.
Please see related article for additional information on Fingerprint reader support on ThinkPads for Windows 10

Since installing window 10 on my G505 laptop I have been having jerky sound. All the drivers say they are up to date. klt

Hard drive crash...or not?

might as well tell the whole story.
Last night i was on my macbook, doing random stuff on the internet (wireless) when it seemed that my internet had suddenly cut out. well i thought this weird, but i switched networks and it seemed to work after that. I was using iChat, when that all of the sudden stopped responding. i switched to finder, and forced iChat to quit. I opened iChat again, only to see the rainbow pinwheel of death again. I force quit again, but this time i relaunched finder. This is when things got weird. i started opening the apps i was using again, but it seemed they had restored to their defaults, as if i had never used them. iTunes mostly is what worried me, because my entire library of 2000+ songs was nowhere to be found. when i tried to add the songs back into the library, it seemed the finder that came up in iTunes was different from that if i were to go into the one from the dock. It had none of my music in it, or anything else for that matter. so when i made changes in the finder outside of iTunes, the finder inside of iTunes stayed the same.
well it was late so i decided i would figure it out the next day (today) so i shut it down and went to bed. Well this morning i woke up, started up my computer, and everything (apart from my movies and applications) was gone. Documents, pictures, music files, settings, everything. I have a lot of important files that i know are somewhere on that hard-drive, but i can't access them.
So i was wondering if this has happened to other people before, and if it's possible to restore settings i had say, two days ago. If it helps, i'm the only user on my computer, and the only thing i had done differently from normal use was relaunch finder.
your help is GREATLY appreciated, seeing as there is no apple store in my area.
i'm freakin' out here.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

HA yeah that's what happened. that tutorial helps, but its vague.
1. In the Finder, go to the /Users folder. (got that)
2. Locate the new home directory, which bears the users' short name.
3. Add "_new" to the new home directory's name.
4. Rename the old home directory to the user's correct short name.
5. Log out and back in with the affected user account.
so what do i add _new to and what do i rename to the new name?
it's a bit confusing.
i tried to change the home folder named jared_lastname to Jared Devour. so what do i change to make the old one my home again?

HP Pavilion dv6-6135DX Fingerprint Scanner not Working

1. Product Name and Number
HP Pavilion DV6-6135DX
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
Windows 7 64-bit
3. Error message (if any)
Fingerprint scanner shuts down. After an hour or so, the fingerprint scanner shuts down. I've owned this laptop for about 3 months and it has only started recently. Could someone tell me how to keep the fingerprint scanner always on?

I have the same problem with mine. I called HP support and they made my update bios along with updating the finger print scanner drivers. This seemed to work for a week then it started shutting down again so my problem is still unsolved aswell.
