Qosmio X300-H15 - Low quality of Toshiba Fingerprint Utility performance

Hi
I had an excellent fingerprint tool for OEM Vista HP x64 (notebook model Qosmio X300-H15).
After I installed Windows 7 HP x64, I have only Toshiba Fingerprint Utility which is different. Its performance is poor. Percent of recognized fingerprint during user logon is very low. Also I should use fingerprint to enter Toshiba Fingerprint Utility. And it cannot import fingerprints dump from Vista's tool.
Does anyone know where to get Vista's fingerprint tool? And is it compatible with Win7 if I want to install it?
Thanks.

Im really wondering you are not satisfied with fingerprint functionality. 6 months ago I have upgraded friends Qosmio X300 from Vista to Win7 using Toshiba upgrade kit and we have installed latest fingerprint utility version 1.0.2.12from Toshiba download page.
It runs perfectly and until now. I asked him often how it works now with Win7 and every time he told me that Win7 runs perfectly so I presume preinstalled fingerprint utility works well too.
To be honest I cannot imagine that fingerprint reorganization on login was better under Vista than under Win7. I have tested it on friends Qosmio after Win7 upgrade and after 10 or more logins using my fingerprint login was successful. I can remember very well that just one time it was not successful but I done it pretty fast just to see if this will work or not but when I have done this properly everything was OK.
Anyway, check Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and go to download section. Here you can find Vista fingerprint software for Vista 32 and 64 bit OS.

  • Toshiba fingerprint utility cannot unprotect file

    Im haveing toshiba qosmio x500 win 7 64-bit. my toshiba fingerprint utility was running fine and i had some files protected by fingerprint password. i have the old settings backup file and (.tofp file) and the fingerprint key file (key file)
    I recently uninstalled the utility and re-installed it, as it use to sometimes act strange. But after this, even if i import settings from the old backup file, i cannot unprotect the files that were previously protected.
    i get the message "You haven't backed up your key yet" (click here to see error http://www.mediafire.com/?qc4t28jv9bjmtm5 )
    I have tried exporting the settings again to a new file, but i dont know how to unprotect the old files.
    Please help.

    i really do not think you need any other fingerprint files to decrypt your files.  If you used your fingerprint (*by swiping*), you most likely will not need anything else except the software itself that was used to encrypt in the first place.  If you used a file (that is, instead of typing in a password or swiping your fingerprint), you will need that exact version of the file again.  If you swiped your finger, the encryption data is embeded within the file.
    Make sure you are swiping the correct finger
    I hope the encryption software asked you to swipe a few times to ensure that future swipes can be reproduced by you
    Try different angles, speed, starting and ending location of your finger when you swipe
    If you are logged on as a different user, the OS (Windows) will do its own encryption on top of your own encryption.  That is unencrypted text file of another user will be encrypted by the OS and will not be accessible by another user.
    I really do not think any software will be so dangerously ignorant enough to save the user's fingerprint data into another file then use that and only that to decrypt the files, defeating the purpose of having the correct user to swipe.
    The software shoud/may have indications of the software company responsible for the program.  Perhaps one of the programmers may be able to divulge what is needed to decrypt a file
    Best of luck.

  • Toshiba Fingerprint Utility

    Hi,
    For some reason Toshiba Fingerprint Utility will now not unlock my files, can anybody help?
    I am running windows 7 on a satellite A300.
    The fingers that were scanned are the ones stored and I have no problems using the software to log on or for the occasional website passwords. The files just create an error message when i try to unlock them, strangley i was unable to unlock a few but not all.
    As far as I know I have not made any updates that would affect the finger print utility.
    Please help as these files are vital to my work.
    Thanks in advance

    Since we did not have the full Model# to assist further, our shorted check reveals A300 series came with Vista.  If you did an upgrade to Win7 and utilized the Win7 fp utility that is where the problem lies. It turns out that for some reason, in some instances, it is necessary to have two profiles active at the time of the installation of the fingerprint utility on Windows 7. Uninstall the utility, activate a second account (use "Guest" account) and then  a reinstall (util_fingerprint..).  Ran through the fingerprint registration and it saved.  It also asked for a second sampling (different finger) and it also worked. Just remember not to use same fingers as initial setup.
    After rebooting and checking that all worked, disable  "Guest" account and then try locking the computer.  The fingerprint scan worked nicely and unlocked the machine.  Another reboot and test of the login using fingerprint and all is well. Go to download page of the support site (http://pcsupport.toshiba.com/windows7)checkn download tab and follow the prompts downloads for your machine.  Worked on a P105-S9339 unit.  OR, you can try scan of fingers not previously used to setup a seconday profile.  Caution-what may have worked for some may not work for you-thus have Recovery Media handy and backup all stuff.  Caution

  • Qosmio X300 - This system cannot use Toshiba Accessibility

    I've succeeded to install all Qosmio X300 drivers on Windows 7 64-bit. Everything's working fine exept this one: "Toshiba Accessibility". When I click on an "Access" key I receive this error message:
    "This system cannot use Toshiba Accessibility"
    Why do I receive this and what is this function?

    Yes, I have installed Toshiba Value Added Package and reinstalled it different times. Furthermore if this Pachage wouldn't be installed, there would no be any "FN Access" key to click on!
    Just when I click this button I receive this strange message! I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. Even FN key itself stopped working. Won't show it's FN functions on display.
    Even after reinstallation of Value Added Package I receive the error message and FN doesn't work!
    Did someone encounter this kind of problem? I don't know what's going on, how to solve this?

  • My toshiba fingerprint utility stopped working once I loaded the new firefox version 4

    I have a toshiba satellite pro laptop. it comes with a utility to use your fingerprint to enter password protected sites. when I go to a preregistered site a green bar used to show below the menu bar prompting me to scan my fingrprint to enter the site. this green bar no longer shows up and sanning my fingerprint doesn't work. the fingerprint utiltiy does work when I first sign in to my computer so I think it is a problem with version 4. any ideas?

    See if this extension works for you. <br />
    Fingerfox (SE) <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3871/
    Or maybe this version from the author's website. <br />

    If neither of those work, check with Toshiba for an update.

  • TOSHIBA Fingerprint utility - how to remove fingerprint password?

    Hello.
    I want to remove my fingerprint password and use a text one instead.
    How can I do that?
    *Update:*
    I deleted all my fingerprints and I restart the laptop.
    The laptop is asking me for a password which I didn't set before
    What can I do about this.. thank you

    Hi
    If you have enabled and used the fingerprint reader in order to login the notebook, the password has been set too.
    As far as I know you could register the fingerprint and had to set a password in case the fingerprint would not work properly.
    I don’t think that you could register fingerprint WIHTOUT setting the password.
    Here an nice is a useful information regarding file protection with the AuthenTec Fingerprint software
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9C02RC0001R01.htm
    If you don’t know the password, you will need to contact Toshiba service guys who would be able to erase the user's fingerprint related privacy information on the Authentec fingerprint sensor flash

  • Qosmio X300 - Fingerprint sensor stopped working

    Hi, I wonder if someone can help me ?
    First, please excuse my poor English, I'm Norwegian ( ! )
    and allow me to tell you that I am just "normally" technical ...
    -so please, please "speak" so I can understand.
    My fingerprint sensor stopped working today, this has happen before,
    restarting the computer has previously "fixed" the problem, but not today ... !
    I have dowloaded and installed new drivers & software ( TrueSuite Access Manager ) ( from Toshiba support ) -- still not working ...
    I have checked the Device manager ( Biometric Devices )
    It says that the device is working properly. It says that the drivers are all up to date.
    But it still does not work.
    I've been on the phone with Toshiba support for a long time today, but not even support could help me ...
    they had never heard of a similar problem on a Qosmio X300 before ( ? )
    They suspcted that I had send it in for service ... and I would like to avvoid this, if I can ...
    Cause that means that my computer will be gone for at least 14 days ...
    I have also read all threads about fingerprint problems in this forum, and tried everything ... but nothing helps !
    When I'm promted to scan my finger, the scanner seems to be "dead" ... ?
    Can anyone please help me to solve this problem ?
    Hoping for help !
    Thanks so much for taking the time ...
    Sincerely ms.norway

    Hi Luke_1
    Thanks so much for your answer. I did download the BIOS update, but got a message that I allready had the latest version,
    so there would be no updates installed ... I guess that I ( without remembering ) dowloaded and updated this some time yesterday ( ! )
    I guess that the next step will be to use the recovery disk ...
    I would if possible, not do that, cause that means that I have to reinstall every program etc., right ?
    Sorry ... this might sound like a stupid queston, but as I mentioned ... I'm just "normally" technical, so you have to excuse me on this :-)
    Or I might just give up and send the computer in for service/repair ...
    By doing this I might not have to reinstall everything , right ? ( hoping for a positive response on this )
    I "suspect" that maybe the fingerprint sensor is broken, since I have tried all possible solutions ...
    so this might be the best solution to my annoying problem ...
    If anyone happens to have any other sugests, please respond.
    Thanks again for your answer !

  • No fingerprint sensor on my Qosmio X300-12H?

    Hi,
    I bought my Qosmio X300 -12H on 3d this month in UK, and just found that it does not have a fingerprint sensor.
    As the User's Manual book and the pics on Toshiba website show, the fingerprint sensor should be in the middle of the two touch pad control buttons, but it's not there.
    Is there anything wrong?
    You can see it in the pic blow.

    <br />
    Another problem is the right-of-center keyboard (the part above the arrow keys) seems to be loosing.
    The entire right part of the keyboard makes noise when I'm fast typing.

    Are you 100% sure that this Qosmio X300-12H model should be equipped wit the fingerprint reader?
    I doubt it.
    Fact is that the same notebook series (in your case Qosmio X300) was equipped with different hardware specifications. This means that some X300 can support the fingerprint and some model dont support this feature.
    I have checked the X300-12H details on the page which you have linked in the post above and there is no fingerprint mentioned!

  • Battery is not charging after buying new charger for Qosmio X300

    Hello all
    My problem started when the charger of my laptop toshiba qosmio x300-130 made a strange noise and stoped working . laptop stayed on and was working perfectly as the battery was full .
    I cloused pc and opened again next day to check my mails and then cloused it again .
    the charger was off so i ordered one new charger from the company that support toshiba laptops in greece .
    After 5 days i received the new charger from theyr offices . run home and pluged it but something was wrong . the battery isnt charging ! windows giving me message that battery exists but not charging !
    The battery light of the computer lights up when i put the power on but after few seconds start blink and then it go off .
    Also when i operate pc with battery on it it start making the noice that battery is low and then it turns off even that it is on power with the charger .
    I went back to the company and they tald me that the charger is fine and that the battery just died couse it was her time to die !!! any one can help me ?

    > I went back to the company and they tald me that the charger is fine and that the battery just died couse it was her time to die !!!
    Well, can you use the notebook without the battery but only in connection with the AC adaptor?
    If yes, then the AC adaptor is OK and fully compatible.
    The Ac Adaptor should support the 19V and 9,5A
    The Ampere (A) value could be a little bit different. This is no matter but the Volt (V) value has to be the same 19V
    In your case the battery could be faulty or there is some problem with power supply electronic on the motherboard.
    But I think the battery should be checked firstly

  • Qosmio X300-16D - thermal pad/paste solution for CPU and Nvidia MCP

    Can anyone suggest a good (specific) thermal solution for the Qosmio X300-16D CPU and Nvidia MCP?
    I ask because there is a slight complication with the 16D (an SLI setup)... the heatsink for the CPU and Nvidia MCP are connected in the same thermal module, but while the CPU heatsink is screwed down, the Nvidia MCP chip is not - so there is a large gap between that chip and the heatsink.
    I'm guessing some form of thermal pad should be used here rather than grease/paste? Does anybody know what thermal pad has been used by Toshiba for this, or point me to a high quality replacement that is suitable to be used?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi
    As far as I know the thermal grease 776 (part num: K000055600) could be used.
    But there are different cooling pends as mentioned by Akuma.
    There is an thermal fan 1 for DUAL-VGA (K000061940) and thermal fan 2 for dual VGA (K000061950) as well.
    I assume both are for SLI configuration.
    There are also some other cooling modules for VGA (VGA THERMAL MODULE-1-GT-NB9E K000065560 and VGA THERMAL MODULE-2-NB9E-W/O TMA K000065560)
    You can google for these part numbers Found all in internet
