How come the driver for the validiy sensor has an older version but newer release date

Can someone please explain why the driver for the finger print reader has an older date but a newer version?
The one on HPs website := Driver Version 4.4.234.0 and Driver Date 24/09/2012.
Yet the one on my P.C. := Driver Version 4.5.235.0 and Driver Date 22/07/2009.
Is it worth updating or not?
I can't seem to get the add-on working on I.E. 11.0.3
Any advice appreciated.

Spyke,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Short Answer:
If you are running the same version of the Operating System that you were running when the driver was installed, then it is likely your driver is fine as it is.
Based on your Example:
If you have upgraded your Operating System, and you are using Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 AND your system is among those supported by the "newer" driver, then you should upgrade.
Long Answer:
There are several Validity Sensor Drivers of this same revision - in the case of sp58869 , the driver has been issued as a compatible driver for the HP Envy M6 for both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The change might have required additional supporting libraries used with the driver and did not require changes to the driver software itself.
You didn't say which computer model you have nor the version of Windows you are running.
It is true the specific driver within the version class might make a difference if you have updated your Operating System since your own driver was issued for your computer.
It is true that reinstalling a "same version" driver can help if the driver on your system is corrupted. Driver corruption is normal to some extent -- leave a driver on a Windows computer long enough and one or two of the zillions of instructions can corrupt, links can be lost; data can become unstable due to library changes or registry errors.
Drivers control hardware. The fingerprint driver only controls the fingerprinter.
Software provides a means for the user to interact with the computer in an organized environment.
===========================================================================================
Sometimes a perfectly good driver can "look bad" -- certain data persists from boot to boot. This is normal and the fact that some data is immediately available at boot means the computer starts up faster and that the Operating System is available sooner to the user of the computer.
When things in the boot-to-boot instruction set get tangled, then things may stop working: TouchPad, mouse (external), fingerprint software, maybe even the keyboard. The login data profile for the user account may not set up properly.
Driver Reset / Clean-the-cobwebs off the computer:
Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook
Boot the computer and log in
Next...
If Internet Explorer 11 is a recent update from a previous version, and even if this is not an upgraded IE issue, it is important that you be running the most recent version of your fingerprint Software.
I am assuming a lot here -- including that you are running HP SimplePass Version 6.x.
Continuing that line of thought; you might find the following useful:

Does anybody know how to modify the driver for the Tektronix 370A curve tracer so that it will work with the 370B?

I am trying to control a Tektronix 370B curve tracer using LabView via a GPIB interface. However, there are no drivers available for download for the 370B. There is one available for the 370A, but it is not compatible with the 370B and I have been unable to figure out how to modify it to make it work with the 370B. Does anyone know how to modify this driver, or know of an existing driver that works with the 370B? Thanks!

Hi S _Bracht,
Yeah, unfortunately, the Tektronix 370B does not currently have an instrument driver and the driver for the 370A is not supported by National Instruments (it is just posted on our website as a courtesy) - so I am afraid that there is not really any more information on the differences that might exist between the two available from National Instruments. As an alternative, you can always develop your own driver using the VISA and 488.2 drivers + a copy of the user manual for the Tektronix 370B. Otherwise, you may consider speaking with Tektronix or getting ahold of a User Manual for the 370A and comparing some of the settings - there are likely some differences in your configuration options at the very least. Or, if someone out there has tackled this before and shares their knowledge...
Good luck!

Hello,
As far as I know, DVD±RW disc drives are automatically detected by Microsoft Windows XP and newer versions of Windows. Are you looking for the latest firmware? The latest update I could find for a T61 is here on Lenovo's support web site.

Where is the driver for the Zen Creative 4GB mp3 play

When I installed everything on the CD and plugged the mp3 player into my Vista computer it said 'looking for driver' and never found it. I have not been able to find the driver for this type of player anywhere.
It worked fine on my brothers computer, which also has Vista. He got his computer after mine, and has Athlon processor as opposed to my Inter Core 2 Duo. Can't see why that would make a difference.
here's the walmart link, so there is no misunderstanding about the player I am using:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=7789723

I think Creative should add the Sleek Photo to the player list in downloads and add the latest version there (I have version .0.0e). I ordered my player in December (for Christmas). There are a few issues that I have addressed in my "A few annoyances with Zen Sleek Photo 20GB (Request)" thread.
Sadly there has not yet been an update to fix the artist listings etc. as mentioned in my thread
I got in contact with another Creative Zen Sleek Photo user who also li'ves in Switzerland and has the same problems (tracks not been sorted correctly even with correct ID3 tags, which work in many many Windows applications).
By the way, sadly the Sleek Photo gets a load of dust under the screen too, unless you are very careful. I have been unable to remove most of the dust even using compressed air! I would rather not have to get it replaced because of this (unless Creative makes a slightly new casing model to prevent dust under screen) as I would probably end up paying rather a lot for postage (it's going indirectly through another company)
I hope there shall soon be a firmware update addressing these things,
Thanks for any response to this,

Not installed the driver for the printer HP DESKJET 2050 J510

I'm trying to install the drivers for the printer, but the step "connection to the printer" windows it just does not see. If I try to connect the printer without drivers, Windows gives an error message. (shown on screenshoot)

Hey @jmchich ,
Thanks for your post on the HP Forums!
I would like to apologize first off that I am not able to read the screenshots as this is the English HP Forum Support Board. I see you speak english, if are able to translate that message into english or switch your computer language that would be greatly appreciated.

I have a MBP from late 2009. It works fine in all regards except recently, when an icon is grabbed by the built-in track pad, I can't drop the item and have to shut my computer down to resolve the issue. How do I reinstall the driver for the trackpad?

Ok, I thought the subject line was the extent of what I could type. My trackpad has been working fine for over two years now. But recently if I accidently (or intentionally) drag a picutre that is highlighted on any website, the cursur never lets go of the image and all "clicking" capabilities become useless. It even manages to lock up the rest of the computer, such that trying to restart manually doesn't work. I litterally have to hold the power button till the MBP turns off and reboot. I have looked for a way to unistall and reinstall the driving, but I'm either redirected to a non-Apple website or else I'm directed to the new "Retina" MBP section of the Apple store. I don't have any other mouse that is connected to this computer, so there shouldn't be any weird interference between mutiple mice.
Is there an official applie support section where I can either download the proper driver to simply resinstall the orignal 2009-2010 MBP trackpad driver, or a way for the "Software Update" under the Apple logo in the top file bar to acknowledge this problem an automatically patch it? I'd rather not have to go into an Apple store just to get this quirk (which doesn't happen 100% of the time anyways) figured out. I simply don't want it to occur while I'm in the middle of a larger project and then get stuck being unable to save a document and I have to forcefully restart my entire computer (nuisance aside).
Thank you,
Hamilton

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …

Problems with the driver for the HP E3631A

I have installed the driver of NI for Labview version 5.1.
I need to send information to a DC Power Supply ( HP E3631A), this information is just to set the output voltage for the HP E3631A.
I'm using the "getting started.vi" for the HP E3631A, normaly this must work !
I have called with support from NI,
But they couldn't tell me what the problem was !
The problem is that when I set the voltage on my PC ( using labview),
and run the getting started.vi, I always get the same outputvoltage from my DC Power Supply. ( HP E3631A ) ( +0.288V )
You first need to choose between +6V, +25V and -25V.
The strange thing is that when you change this, the DC Power Supply
changes correctly, follows these settings.
So the DC Power Sup
ply follow's the +6V, +25V and -25V when you change these, but always gives the same voltage when you set the outputvoltage.
Can you tell me what the problem is ??
Thanks in Advance !
Hope you can solve my problem !!!

Pauwels,
You may also check in the Configure Output.vi, which is one subvi of the Getting Started VI, and try to set the boolean for output(which is On=True by default) to false. I do not have the power supply, but my guess is that this boolean when set to true, only allows the predefined values.

I suddenly cannot startup Captivate 4 for reason Flash Player for Internet Explorer not installed or older version, but I have verified that Flash Player 16,0,0,235 is installed. Please help.

Hi,
I haven't used my Adobe Captivate 4 for a bit, but when I try to start it up, I get the following message:
"The Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, is not installed or its an older version.
You will automatically be redirected to the Adobe website to download the latest Flash Player.
Please note that the Adobe Captivate cannot be used until the Flash Player is installed."
Even if I click the OK button and reinstall the Flash Player, I still get the same message, when I try to startup Captivate.
I have verified that I'm running Flash player 16,0,0,235, which is supposed to be the latest version.
I'm running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
Please help.

The problem is that your version of Captivate 4 needs to be updated with a patch that Adobe used to supply. (I don't have a link anymore to it.)
Captivate 4 was unable to recognise Flash Player versions beyond a certain number. It gives you a misleading error message that makes it look like you have the wrong version of Flash Player. But the real problem is that Captivate needs to be patched to recognise the latest FP versions.
I'm hoping that someone from the Adobe Captivate team will chime in here and give us another link to download the patch. Otherwise, you really might be forced to upgrade to a newer version of Cp. However, if your current projects are being built in Cp4, your next issue will be that if you purchase Cp8 it will NOT be able to upgrade your Cp4 projects. You'd need to download a trial version of Cp5 or 5.5, and do a two-step upgrade.

Question about the Intel driver for the IDE controller

Greetings to all:
Lenovo has recently published another driver for the IDE controller and I wonder how many of you that have a T60, T60p, T61 and T61p have been able to actually install it.
My controller device is:
Intel(R) 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4,
both in XP-SP3 as in Vista SP1, 32bits versions ( see bellow details of my T60p, which has 2 hard drives)
Interestingly enough the driver on each is v:7.0.0.1020 (2005/05/23) for XP and v:6.0.6001.1800 (2006/06/21) for Vista-B. They are working well as far as I see, but now and several times before, I have tried to update them but they do not install. The message is that I have already the best driver. I noticed that the label of the controller is not quite exactly spell out in the instruction text file or the .inf, and the one that comes close, is that of the so call ICH7-M family.
Why is this? There are at least 7 versions discussed in the history. It it perhaps because the one for the ICH7-M family is always the same? System update does not install them either.
Forgive my curiosity but why bother publishing if they can not be installed? Or perhaps somebody has. This is not logical.
Cheers.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

For those who think I can not follow directions.
First, the driver for the Intel IDE device in a T60p is obviously from Intel. But there are two ways to get it fulfilled.
Lenovo publish the Intel drivers with perhaps there own twists, refinements and in the absence of clear contrary information, that they are perhaps more fine tuned to the machine. It uses the following inf files to have them install: iaahci.inf and iastor.inf. They are revised whenever Lenovo fell is necessary and eventually published.
I must assume they are in use if you have a Vista system originally installed by Lenovo and that is why those inf are the ones you find in the updates.
Mi T60p was purchased 2 years ago with XP-Pro, just before the release of Vista, with the understanding of a free upgrade to Vista-B shall be send when finally released. An Indeed they keep their word and send me a Lenovo branded full version of MS Vista-Business, some 4 months latter (not an image). Rather than upgrade XP-Pro and to avoid the time in limbo and work interruption of the Vista less desirable over XP, I did a successful clean install into a new hard drive, followed by a Lenovo system update, which changed many drivers and installed programs, etc. But as you might imagine, the Intel IDE-SATA driver installed is the one provided by MS (v:6.0.6001.1800 of 2006/06/21), (which uses a different installation file mshdc.inf) and, until proven otherwise, I must assume more generic, since it is for any and all machines, following the standard of the hard drive SATA type.
Talking to Lenovo support for nearly 1 1/2 hours last week, was at least not good for my blood pressure, while attempting to explain the issue and refuting a collections of nonsense from the support tech. Eventually a supervisor assure me that the driver was the same and that it has not change for a long time, as it is the same even for XP. Well, why bother with updates if that is the case? But I see that there are others IDE drivers species for animals such as Dell, or HP, etc. Thus you must accept that there is a strong case for a Lenovo modified Intel driver and thus the updates. Tech support could not answer such question, nor they were able to install version 8.6.0.1007 (date 2008/12/04) of the driver.
I fell the machine is working well, but have nothing to compare with (MS Experience Index 4.3). And as usually happened, sometimes you do not appreciate how sick you are, until you get cure. The question remains about the driver been generic and sufficient or specific and optimal.
Cheers and happy holidays.

Where can I find a driver for the SM bus? It is not available thru HP support.

I have a Compaq Presario V5120NR notebook. My operating system crashed and was not recoverable. I ourchased a copy of Windows XP Home Edition and installed it. This is the same operating system that came on the notebook. I downloaded all drivers available thru HP support and installed them. The Device Manager still shows that I have no driver installed for the SM bus. The notebook works, but has a few "quirks", such as the screen saver comes on, but then goes off for no apparent reason. No major problems, just little annoying things like that. Any idea where I can get the driver for the SM bus would be greatly appreciated, :-)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You're very welcome.
Normally the SMBus controller with the chipset in your notebook is installed with the graphics driver.
I figured installing the generic AMD driver might contain the SMBus controller your notebook needs.
So, you can try that, or...
I have one other suggestion. Try this driver and see if it works. You have to manually install it.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12...
Download and run the file. It will extract to C:\SWSetup\sp33927.
Go to the device manager and click on the SMBus controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the manual search method and browse to the above folder.
Select the SMBUSati.inf file and see if it installs the smbus controller.
This driver is from a dc5750 desktop with an AMD chipset. Maybe that is a generic ATI controller used by a lot of PC's.
