New X301 --- Can't enroll fingerprints.

Brand new X301 laptop and can't enroll fingerprint via Lenovo Fingerprint Software.  I enter my Windows password (same as power ON password, right?) and try to click on SUBMIT.  SUBMIT button appears to be dead.  No reaction whatsoever.  Rolling mouse over the button gets no reaction either.  What's up with this?   Machine is 1 hour old.  Help please.  Thanks.

Thanks for all replies.  I went to bed grumpy and when I rebooted this morning, everything worked fine.  (i.e., it registered my fingerprints with no problem).  No clue what happened overnight, but I'm thrilled and will keep my fingers crossed.

  • New X301 --- Can't run ThinkVantage System Update.

    Argh.  Trying to run System Update on brand new X301 and the process freezes at 34% completed, with no bytes downloaded.  Looks like it is still at the GET NEW UPDATES stage --- but it has been sitting there for 40 minutes.  This has now happened twice and system is only 2 hours old.  Help help.

    System Update also worked fine this morning (following a reboot).  It froze at 34% multiple times last night and then uploaded everything perfectly this morning. Go figure.  Moral of the story is that one should probably always reboot before posting a problem to the forums.

  • Can't enroll fingerprints in HP SimplePass (DigitalPersona)

    I'm trying to set up my fingerprint reader on my new (to me) Pavilion DV8T-1200 (Windows 7-64; IE9).  I log into Windows as Administrator, & then when I use the same password in SimplePass, I keep getting a message: Unable to verify password.
    I just updated (via HP Support driver downloads page) from DigitalPersona which came with this year old laptop, because I kept getting the error: Login failure: Account disabled.
    I searched this forum & DigitalPersona's included Help pages, with no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    you create new user account for windows and check if it works?
    Cheers!!!

  • W550s can't enroll more than one finger in Fingerprint Manager Pro

    Running Windows 7 SP1 x64 and Fingerprint Manager Pro v8.01.42 (x64). I managed to get one finger enrolled, but now when I try any finger (both hands, even thumbs), it asks me to swipe my finger, I do so 4 times, it gets to 44%, then immediately jumps to 55% and states "This finger is already enrolled in Database. Please try to enroll again using another finger." Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

    Try resetting the fingerprint data in BIOS setup first:
    1.  Reboot
    2.  Press F1 to enter BIOS Setup
    3.  Change to the Security page, and then select the Fingerprint item
    4.  Choose the option to Reset Fingerprint Data, and then wait for it to finish
    5.  Press F10 to save/exit and reboot to Windows
    6.  Try to enroll fingerprints again
    Only if the above doesn't work, then see my tip here about deleting the WinBioDatabase folder:

  • Unable to enroll fingerprints for the Win7 built-in Administrator account

    In Windows 7 I tried to enroll fingerprints for the built-in Administrator account, but doing so failed every time with the error message The enrollment could not be completed.
    I could not find a solution online and the Validity software was working just fine, as there were no issues with other users on the same system. As a work-around, I created another account with administrator privileges and enrolling the fingerprints worked just fine. My guess is that the permissions for the built-in Administrator account are different from any administrator account you can create yourself. What I noticed is that any self created account is part of the Users group, and that the built-in Administrator account is not part of this group. I'm not sure, but maybe this is the cause of the problem.
    Anyway, I thought I would share my experience here, in case anyone else encounters the same problem.

    same issue in build 10049.
    It would help to be more specific in the symptom description.  E.g. using Narrator may help.  (Win-Enter).  Does it say what you are "seeing" (or should be seeing)?
    FWIW I think it is relatively easy to reproduce symptoms which are related to this thread's description using Narrator (Start Screen without Search bar, Search bar without Taskbar, or Search bar with Taskbar but without Start Menu
    when the only time that the Search bar should appear is when the Start Menu is there, for example) so that could also help specify what your real symptom is.  BTW there are horrendous delays when using Narrator.

  • New X301 Not Working

    My X301 laptop arrived yesterday. Bluetooth, internet are not working.I thought it could be because I installed McAfee antivirus so I  uninstalled it and still no luck.  I tried system restore but no luck, The Thinkpad Advantage button does not take me to the screen to return the system to factory setting. PC Doctor is either not working or is not includied in the system but according to the manual, it should be installed.  Recovery and restore to factory default are not working. I tried to get warranty help but I was informed by three techs that my warranty is not in the system. One tech told me someone would call me back within 30 minutes to activate my warranty. After waiting and hour and a half, I called back and was informed that the warranty department was not open on the weekend. So basically, I have a new laptop that does not work and no one is available to help.
    After experiencing this frustration, I asked the tech for a return label because I am not keeping this very expensive laptop that does not work.  She gave me a number but informed me they were also closed on the weekend.  You can rest assured that the first thing Monday morning, I am returning this laptop. 

    Had a similar experience with a brand new X301 few days back...
    Ran from support to sales to sales support ...but they remain as ever ...no hope and plenty of passing the buck ..very unprofessional
    Sorry i was not helpful ....but shocking for  a brand new laptop ..a premium one ..they do not enclose a detaield packing list whe delivery for a CTO piece and their sales support team are hopelessly disconnected

  • Intel 5300 agn keeps disconnecting on brand new X301

    Hi,
    I just received a new X301 today with Windows 7 64 bit and I've been quite happy with it except that the wireless card keeps losing the signal and then reconnecting. I am not sure why and this does not occur with other laptops on this network. What should I do? Should I downgrade the driver? It looks like the driver I have is the latest. Should I contact lenovo because the card is defective? Thanks.

    Same here. I have a new W700 running Windows 7. My WAP at home is a WRT54G v3 running DD-WRT.
    Sometimes the link goes up and down all the time, sometimes it's stable. Messing with the power settings seems to fix it, sometimes.
    This is a pretty commonly reported problem and I think the 5300 driver has been patched to address it, but obviously it's not fixed yet. I'm current on all my patches so there's not much I can do other than wait for another one.

  • Can't enroll in instant ink

    New ENVY4500e.  Connected to computer thru USB.  Can't enroll in instant ink according to support because I am not connected wirelessly!  Seems like an HP software deficiency to me! 

    Hello AngryMike,
    I can understand your frustrations, I really can. Not only does the printer need to be connected to a wireless network, it also needs to have an Internet connection for Instant Ink to work.
    With out the printer having a direct connection to the Internet the information regarding the inks can not tallied to keep track of the number of printed pages. I am sure that HP researched the means of tallying the printed pages for some time prior to deciding to use an active Internet connection over a software connected method.
    To view all the requirements for HP Instant Ink: What Are the Enrollment Requirements for HP Instant Ink?.
    The printer would still be able to have a USB connection to the computer you want to use connection to the computer, the wireless Internet connection is only needed to allow the printed pages to be tallied.

  • In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    in the previous version  of Number, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    Hi silvano,
    If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
    Start in Cell B2
    1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
    4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
    7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
    Now you are ready to type into B5 .
    Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
    Start at B2
    1 enter
    4 enter
    7 enter
    etc.
    Now start with C2.
    Use whatever suits your work flow.
    Regards,
    Ian.

    A painless way to do it ...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive
