My HP Probook 450 G0 fingerprint reader is not working WIndows 7

Hello,
I am trying to enable my HP Probook 450 G0 fingerprint reader.... I tried many driver version of validity sensor... and finally i have currently installed the driver and software that are mentioned in following link....
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/DV4-1240br-FingerPrint-Driver-f...
 Both are them working fine (**without any error) But DigitalPersona is showing me the following message on welcome screen.... "The FingerPrint reader is not connected.Connect the reader"....
OS : Windows 7 Professional
What do you say.....is there any compatibiltiy issue or any hardware issue....or if there any driver mismatch, can someone suggest me the supported driver version....
Thanks in Advance

I have the same problem as the original poster, and followed the download link you provided only to encounter the exact same issue.  I am using Windows 7 and bought this machine two days ago.  I don't understand why this singular process is this problematic.  I really miss my ASUS K53E and it's face logon feature.  
Perhaps HP should take lessons unless they have something better than this "fingerprint reader."  The only consistent feature I am detecting is its inconsistancy.  Oh well, I just won't bother using it, or put a sticker over the thing.
If I have to spend more than an hour troubleshooting a feature of medium to low importance then it was a mistake to purchase the machine (but it was a gift sadly), and it was a mistake to implement the feature and release it without making sure it works.  Pretty weak HP, but not as bad as Toshiba or Gateway/Acer at least--not that it says much.
Anyone have a legit fix for this annoying issue?  Or some third party facial recognition login program instead?

  • X240 fingerprint reader does not work after standby or lockscreen

    Hello all,
    I have a new X240, and the fingerprint logon no longer works after the computer resumes from standby or from a lockscreen (screen saver). I have checked other solutions here and in other sites, namely:
    1. unchecking the power option of the fp reader in device manager,
    2. and switching the 30-day standby in Lenovo Settings
    Neither of those solutions have worked. I have the latest BIOS and FP driver versions. I made sure the the FP was enabled in BIOS, and I even switched the settings to allow internal FP reader only. Still, the FP will only work when I first power on the laptop, but not after resuming from stand-by. I have checked in Device Manager after manually entering the password, and it says that the FP is working properly.
    I am at a loss, and I want to exhaust every possibility before I call tech suppport. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Fixed.
    I normally use System Update to check for newer versions of Lenovo software. SU didn't catch that there was a new version of FP reader. Just to be sure, I doublechecked on Lenovo's website, and lo and behold, there was a newer version of the FP reader. I had to download it and manually uninstall the previous version. It's fine now. However, I don't understand why Lenovo does this - why does SU not catch updates? It's not the first time that this happens, by the way, nor is it limited to this laptop (I own or have owned a T60, X61, X200, X201, X230, T410, and now the X240). 
    In any event, the FP is working properly now. I hope this helps someone else.

  • Fingerprint reader - does not work

    Hello!
    My fingerprint reader is maybe broken.
    when I try to swipe finger over it, lenovo fingerprint software says swipe too short... it used to work on vista but I had installed XP on my notebook and then it stopped working. I tried also win vista and win7 and same message :-/ don't you know what should it be? 
    thanks for your replies!

    Hello,
    we have the same problem on T410 with OS w8.1 x64 ENTERPRISE and latest ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software Version 6.0.0.8102.
    On my company for increase security login is allowed only with CTRL+ALT+DEL and Do Not Display Last User Name enabled; so users name created/used on that system are not displayed at login page.
    IT dept. run some test and looks like this options are not compatible with Lenovo ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software Version 6.0.0.8102; so this Lenovo sw is not allowed on our systems until they can fix it..

    Hello  Issue could be cause by drivers. I suggest you to install HP SoftPaq Download Manager
    This software detects what drivers are missing and auto update it.

  • Fingerprint Reader and upgrade to Windows 8

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 and now my fingerprint reader does not work.  I have a DM4t-1200, model number XQ132V.  I downloaded the most resent version of Simple Pass and the most recent fingerprint reader drivers from Validity.  I can get into the Simple Pass software, but the laptop still does not reconize the fingerprint reader.  I am asssuming this is a bios issue, but I am not sure how to proceed from here.  Any suggestions.

  • My fingerprint reader is not recognized by DigitalPersona when I upgraded to Windows 7

    My fingerprint reader worked with Vista but when I upgraded to Windows 7 it is not recognized by DigitalPersona. 
    I have a dv3-1075us with the AMD Turion X2 dual core mobile RM-72 2.10 Ghz processor.  I have updated the BIOS to F.15, there is not a biometrics option in the BIOS for me to turn on, Authentec Driver 20.0.18 dated 11-24-2009 (Device Manger does nto show an error), and running Digital Persona Personal version 4.11.3826.
    I have updated this from the troubleshooting section of the HP Support website.
    At the windows login I get a "Reader not detected" message and in DigitalPersona "The fingerprint reader is not connected.  Connect the reader."
    What further steps can I do to get my fingerprint reader working?
    Thank you for your help.

    I've got an HDX9350 that I originally ran on Vista, and later upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I managed to make most functionality run on that installation, albeit buggy and slow, running assorted drivers in compatibility mode.
    Earlier this week I installed the 64-bit version od Windows 7 Ultimate, because the upgraded installation did run into problems sometimes, requiring a long time to get an ip address etc. I was surprised to see a lot of drivers being automatically installed, includingdrivers for the AuthenTec 2501A fingerprint sensor.
    I stumbled upon AuthenTecs own basic software, allowing You to log onto the computer and that worked. Or was it Window' own? Never mind.
    Installing Digital persona resulted in no reader detected all of the time, despite following instructions on this forum.
    Installing HP's SimplePass, things worked straight away! Maybe Digital Persona isn't compatible with Windows 7, or with my HDX9350?

  • "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" and "FINGERPRINT READER IS NOT CONNECTED.

    the two issues are as follows;When I try to use my fingerprint reader (after upgrading to win 10) I get the message that the "FINGERPRINT READER IS NOT CONNECTED". How does one get it to connect? When I try to reinstall any software that requires a (RE-START OR BOOT) with HP Recovery Manager, it gives me the new blue screen that says, CRITICAL PROCESS DIED. Please assist. Jon

    It is possible to work-around the issue, but some manual steps are needed:
    1.  delete "smihlp.sys" from "c:\program files\thinkvantage fingerprint software"
    2.  run "services.msc" and stop the service "Windows Biometric Service"
    3.  delete the file "031D23AD-15AF-4e25-B7B3-DE34893097ED.DAT" from "c:\Windows\system32\WinBioDatabase"
    4.  reboot the computer  (important!!)
    5.  now try to enroll some fingers
    This should make it possible to enroll fingerprint and use it to log into Windows, until the bug can be fixed in some future version of BIOS and/or Fingerprint software.

  • Upgraded to windows 7 now my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working!

    I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Ultimate and my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working.  I've tried reading advice off of some forums here and even checked out what I can download from this site and also tried updating but each time it either says could not find updates, or when I  try dowloading from this site it says the program may have not installed correctly.  I'm stuck I don't know what else I can do, can someone help, I would appreaciate it greatly!

    Ah if only life were so simple. I have been without a soundcard ever since upgrading to Windows 7, have spent hours on the Lenovo site trying to locate a driver, filling in all those little boxes, time after time to no avail. The drivers, if they exist at all, are being kept secret. There can be no other explanation. Have the same problem with the fingerprint thingy, but not bothered as the kids had learnt to bypass it anyway.
    Enjoying windows 7 in complete silence. If anyone wants to advise downloading a driver then fantastic, but give us a clue where it is hidden.

    hello i have a problem with my fingerprint id its not working anymore like before his not recognised my finger anymore why ?

    I have had to periodically delete and re-enter my fingerprint. The last update (7.1) may have improved that. You can delete by going to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode and then tap "Turn Passcode Off" and then go back to the same area, put a passcode back on and then a fingerprint.

  • Tecra A11-11L - Fingerprint sensor is not working

    HI,
    I have got a problem with my Tecra notebook. The Fingerprint sensor is not working since yesterday. It also disappears from the hardware manager. I tried to reinstall the utility, but the setup.exe won't execute succesfully. When I try to install the Utility directly from the amd64 directory the installation will be succesfully, but the software can't connect to the fingerprint sensor. I also tried to install the original Windows image, but the sensor won't work.
    Do you have any ideas?
    Berst regards
    Thunder1988

    You could try a BIOS Update and set the BIOS to defaults. If it still doesn't appear in Device Manager, the reader may be faulty or there is a connection problem. I'm guessing the notebook is still under warranty, so you may need to send the notebook to a Toshiba Service Center for repair.

    Hi Emilemny,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The TouchID settings will not be available until you create a passcode, see the article linked below for more information.
    iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
    You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
