T420s - fingerprint reader - no software for windows 7

Hi,
since my last update with 'system update' (active hdd protection and something else) I get an error while logging in into windows with the fingerprint reader.

I am able to start my thinkpad using the fingerprint reader, but logging in into windows and starting the fingerprint reader software leads to that error message. So I removed drivers and software to install again. But I recognized, there are no drivers / software packages for the fingerprint reader for windows 7 anymore on the lenovo server. Also the system update doesn't show anything for that purpose. So I tried installing the windows 8, 8.1 software but I had the same error.
Furthermore, my system update cannot be started with the normal command anymore (tvsu.exe), I have to use the Tvsukernel.exe file in the system update folder. Something went totally wrong here. I tried to reinstall the system update again several times with no success.
Anyone with an idea? Don't want to re set up windows.

I don't know what causes it but the other user suspects something is wrong in Windows Update. So far, I haven't seen the issues myself.

T420 fingerprint reader only works for start-up

I received my new T420 yesterday. Totally love it, except I'm having trouble with the fingerprint reader. I works fine for Windows 7 Pro start-up. It does nothing for passwords on websites, files, folders, etc. I installed and re-installed the driver and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

@andyems10,
Here is how I set my password manager. I swipe fingerprint to boot up the PC then it will login to Windows normally too.
Then when I open applications such as Lotus Notes or SameTime, it would prompt for a fingerprint, then once I swipe it, it will automatically fill in the password blanks for Lotus Notes and SameTime. If I were to close Lotus Notes or Sametime, it wouldn't prompt for a fingerprint anymore thus you wold need to swipe only once.
Did you get a prompt if you were to login any accounts such as emails when you are using IE? You should get a prompt to remember the password using password manager.

Fingerprint reader and Software for the MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.2

As in my other post I have just bought a Mac Book Pro 13" laptop. I am in the learning curve as I have only worked with Windows for the past 22 years.
On my HP I had a built in fingerprint reader and I software installed that kept all my passwords (in a database on my pc, NOT in any cloud or web based progam) I use to log onto websites, logon to my computer.
I am looking for the same type of software and a fingerprint reader (small usb no wires if possible) for this MacBook.
Any ideas?
Also, every time I download and install a application, I get a pop up asking for my credentials, how can I get rid of that "feature"?
Thank you

What type of property do you have? Seriously they are less frequent targets lets say. So do you have AV, Internet security (AVG, AVAST, Norton or some other pkg) Malware software installed on your Mac?
If so, why?
If not, why?
Any thoughts to the question this post relates to?
Thanks

Hi @mfatihbodur
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I see that you are looking for Windows 8.1 version of your Validity Sensor and SimplePass software. I have included the links below but as your model doesn't have drivers I can't guarantee that they will work but they are the latest versions.
Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver (Windows 8.1)

Fingerprint reader in V570 after Windows 8 install

I replaced the Windows 7 install with Windows 8, and most of the functions are working. I initially tried the original BioExcess software for Windows 7. It would allow me to enroll one finger, but would not accept my system password. BioExcess told me I needed the Windows 8 version I then tried the Lenovo Fingerprint reader for Windows 8 (actually for the V580). It runs the Password Vault, but not the fingerprint reader module. Short of paying BioExcess for a licence has anyone been able to get this running?

Hi Sammh and welcome to the Community,
You have an AuthenTec reader.
Go to here and follow the instructions to uninstall the reader and then follow the link given to download and install the driver provided.
This is the one I'm using on an x61 and it is working in Windows 8.

Dave

Fingerprint isn't recognized for Windows logon

I just recently purchased an HP Pavilion DV6-6c10us. When I first started it up, I went through the standard set-up stuff and entered the fingerprint data needed by Simplepass (2012). Everything seemed to work like it was supposed to. I was able to just swipe my fingerprint to log on to Windows at startup. A couple days ago, possibly after either a Windows or HP update, when I start Windows, and try to swipe a finger a windows security message comes up and reads, "Your fingerprints have not been enrolled for authentication." I click OK and just use my password to log on to Windows. Once I get into windows the fingerprint scanner works fine.
I've checked for any updates for SimplePass, and there aren't any.
In the Control Panel, Biometric Devices area, when I click on "Stop using your fingerprint to log on to Windows", the next window opens and reads, "You have no fingerprint data or logon credentials to remove."
How do I get windows to allow me to enroll a fingerprint to log on to windows?
Please help!

Hi,
Not sure why, but the data is not present means its either deleted or currupt. you may need to register the fingerprint reader to logon to windows one more time.
it may not be the one you expected or like to hear. but i think its the easiest and best possible solution on this.

Most probably you have hit this issue:

Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows

Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows how can I download them with out the install cd?

Or for the same price you can order a new Snow Leopard disk. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
That would give you Boot Camp 3.0 drivers. With Snow Leopard and Boot Camp 3.0 you can install Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. With Lion and Boot Camp 4.0 you can only install Windows 7. If you install Lion with Boot Camp 3 and XP or Vista already on it it will work.

Palm desktop software for windows 7

I am currently using 6.2.2 palm trial software without syncing to a device. i am afraid to use this software in future if i am not able to sync with any other device.
please help

Post relates to: Palm m505

I too have been using Palm OS software forever, and upgraded my device to a Tungsten E2 several years ago. I just installed the software for Windows 7 64 bit (version 6.2) and all works without problems. The only thing I lost was the color coding of the customized categories I'd created. Synching works with either Bluetooth OR on my older PC's I can keep using the cable synch and original software version (4.1.4) that I've always been using. Not sure it this reassures you or not . . .

Loading icloud software for windows 7 and it rolled back on an error

Tried to install icloud software for windows 7 and it found an error on a file during installation and it rolled itself back, no explain of the error; have not idea....

You can not create an iCloud account using a PC, you will need an Apple product. Once the account exists you can logon to it from a PC.

HT1899 Hi There. Is there a version of BootCamp support software for Windows 8 Customer preview?

Hi There. Is there a version of BootCamp support software for Windows 8 Customer preview as yet?

8 is now Release Preview, not CP, and there is the final release 90-day trial Enterprise which is all cleaned up and ready to use.
So at least someone should be going over with this by now. Things I had that did not work right and unsupported with the Previews are working, but some, a few, need updates.
I don't think most of the issues people have with Mac running 8 are deal breakers or can't be worked around, maybe 2-3 items and heck even 'supported' - if it worked plug and play and no issues... the forum would be dead silent, but it isn't.
Not going to do it again but I have tried to post a consolidated of trackpad, graphics, audio, BT, and other things that get mentioned.
8 won't be ready to buy for full two months.

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. I just tried the link that you had and was able to succesfully download activesync for XP. Try it again, if it still does not work try going to google and do a search for "download activesync 4.5" which should give multipul options for the download. If that does not work then the problem is on your end and you may need to talk to a computer repair shop.

You'll probably won't find any. Because right now here at work we are using Reports 6i and when we upgraded to Windows XP we have to download a patch just to make it work in.
