Lenovo finger print not working

Hi,
Lenovo finger print suddenly stopped working last week on my laptop. Further to this while looking for solution i came across the new update available on suppport and download page for my system (3000 N200 0796) (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67845).
I unintalled the lenovo finger print software and intalled a new one from above update link.  
But still its not working. When i open the finger print reader i get a message saying "Failed to open the sensor" and when i try to access it via client security solution i get message saying "device is not installed"
Further to above i checked the device manager and there is no option for finger print. I thenk checked BIOS and found that under security option ther is also no option of finerpring..!!!
I think deleting the old software completely and downloading was not a good idea..
Does anyone know how to get the fingerprint option back into bios??

Hi,
I haven the same problem once I uninstalled Vista and installed XP SP3.
I was able to resolve this by following way:
1. I found in the device manager "AuthenTec Inc." device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
2. I opened this device and pressed the "Update driver" in the 'Driver" tab; then I installed the driver for the fingerprinter.
3. As result, the system recognize this device as Personal indentification device; and fingerprinter works properly.
Please let me know if this was helpful.

    I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
    What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written.  Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable.  Since IE9 there have been new .dll  involving printing
    which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools.  However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
    unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
    and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

  • IPhone 5S Finger Print not working, locked out

    I recently bought an iPhone 5S and input the finger print access.  It is not working and is requiring my 4 digit code which apparently I can't remember.  After each incorrect number it takes longer before I can try again.  I am up to over an hour.  I bought the phone through Att and thought that I had Apple Care for a year but apparently that is not true.

    The iPhone comes with a 1 year warranty and 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare + extends that as shown in: http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html

  • Printer not working following iPad uodate

    Printer not working following iPad upgrade

    Hi,
    Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
    Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
    Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

  • File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

    File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
    I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
    Thanks

    I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
    Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
    I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

  • Multi finger gesture not working

    Hi,
    My laptop is hp 15-r014TX.
    Recently my touchpad multi finger gesture has stopped working. I can not scroll using 2-finger scroll, right click, rotation, zoom in and out. However, one-finger gestures are all working fine like I can swap between apps by left swipe, options appear by right swipe. I tried changing the settings, but of no use.
    Thanks,
    Pragya

    Hello @Pragya_Mathur ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP 15-r014tx Notebook and the finger gestures not working correctly. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the finger gestures on a Touchpad.
    If you will go to the section on common TouchPad gestures, TouchPad and ClickPad configuration options are located on the TouchPad properties page. It shows you the Clickpad properties page. You can select the options.  This only works on programs that have this capability, such as a photo browser or word processor.
    Hope this fixes your issue with finger gestures.
    Thanks.

  • 3 finger backswipe not working on safari

    Hello,
    Well besides the 3 finger backswipe not working very well, and tempermental at best. Safari has also not been able to load certain pages (my firefox does just fine) , it has also been suuuuperr slowwwww. And just in general not working well at all. In other words it's been crappy.
    So, uh, whats up with Safari.
    I already did a permissions repair, and a 'Safari Reset' (multiple times), finishing always with a clean restart of the machine.
    I do have snow leopard still, as my os (10.6.8). I have a macbook pro, 7.1
    So hey everybody whats up with Safari, anyone know how to fix this?
    Do I need to uninstall Safari and reload it? Is that possible?
    Please only answer if you really know what is going on with safari, thanks
    -Mo

    Yeah, I get no replies from any of the techs here. Everyone has usually always been friendly and cordial and helpful here. But , only silence regarding this issue.
    I may have thrown some people off when I stated in my original question, "Please only answer if you really know what is going on with safari, thanks ""
    Well the reason I said that is , sometimes I get people who say things like, "Do a permission repair" or, "Check your Prefrences for Trackpad."
    ,,,,,,Already did all that. Did that before I ever got on this forum, that stuff is like real basic protocols for me.
    I want to know what the heck is really going on,,,,,,just like you.
    Anyone else have a real clue?
    thanks, all 

  • Finger print not unlocking but works with iTunes and Apple Store

    So I have been battling this same issue since last week. I cannot unlock my phone with the FP scan but it will work when using the iTunes store or Apple Store app. Is there a setting I am missing?

    Hello bdallas99,
    Congratulations on your iPhone 5s, and thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when using Touch ID.  I recommend following the steps below for an issue like this (steps 2 and 3 specifically stand out to me for the situation you described):
    Troubleshooting Touch ID
    Ensure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning.
    Tap Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints and verify:
    Passcode Unlock or iTunes & App Store is enabled.
    One or more fingerprints have been enrolled.
    If one finger isn't working, tap Edit in Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > Edit to delete and then reenroll the finger.
    If that finger still isn't working, try enrolling a different finger.
    If you are unable to enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.

  • Does Finger Print Scanner Work With Firefox 7.0.1?

    I know that people have been having problems with other past versions of firefox and their finger print scanner. I have all updated drivers and software for my HP Simple Pass Finger Print scanner software from Egis. As of right now the software does '''NOT''' work with firefox 7 for me. I was wondering if there is a way to get it to work with the new version with firefox or am i going to have to downgrade to firefox 3.6? I have read due to security issues not to get Firefox 4-6. Thanks for the help in advance''' :)'''.

    Hi gesamptkunstwerk-
    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
    To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
    Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • Lenovo AIO C440 - not working infrared remote control

    Hello,
    is there any hint how to get infrared remote control working for a new C440 model? Tomorrow I will try to measure and/or replace batteries which could be bad. For now it is totally not working.
    Another question: the remote should work only within AverMedia TV app or in the whole Windows 8?
    Regards,
    Zdenek

    hi bohdik,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    The IR Windows Media Center remote control is for use with C440 models with optional TV tuner. If you have this model,  make sure the TV Tuner driver and the ITE CIR Driver from the lenovo support site are installed under Device Manager (press Windows Key+R then type devmgmt.msc) then follow  the Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. guide.
    Note:
    You must have Windows 8 PRO to enable Windows Media Center
