T43-W7 (new install) Fingerprint Software not interfacing with power-on password
Went through a remarkably painless upgrade of my old T-43 to W7 yesterday. After the W7 install, I added the Lenovo Toolkit, and let it load the recommended drivers/updates. Then to regain use of the fingerprint function, I d/l'd the latest version of CSS, which seemed to install just fine (per upgrade recommendations, I uninstalled the fingerprints/power-on password prior to upgrade).
In going through the enrollment process, the only checkboxes that appear above each "finger" are for Windows, not for the power-on password. The power-on password isenabled and set in BIOS for both the computer and the hard drive (password identical to the Windows User password). Tried with the Security Chip both Enabled and Disabled, and also tried "Clearing" the security Chip, to no avail.
The result so far is that fingerprint login is working great for W7, but no longer works at all for power on, as it did under W2k. I have an X301 that I upgraded from Vista to W7 on which all of this works perfectly, so I am pretty sure I know what should be possible, but maybe this is beyond the hardware function of W7 with the T43? Am I missing something?
Vince69,
Thank you again for your suggestion. I tried updating the driver using the package you pointed to, and did not have any luck. Kept getting "Driver not found", (and include subdirs was checked). Also tried manually dropping into each subir in the file, and still no luck.
I came across an entry in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprohardware/thread/aa965e55-de21-4dd0-93e2-05e6d14... which seems to address the "Unkown Device" issue. Go about halfway down the page, and the instructions provided by James Norman seemed to work for me--at least it made the error message go away.
But the original problem of the Fingerprint s/w interfacing with power-on password is still there. After fixing the device driver problem, I reinstalled Fingerprint Software (I had uninstalled it before fixing the Device Driver issue), and I have the same behavior and selection choices under "Settings" as I had before--none of the settings include anything to do with power-on password.
Any more suggestions?

Satellite U200-161 Fingerprint software not working with IE7
Seems like the fingerprint facility for registering passwords is no longer working once ie7 (final) is installed.
Anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
Thanks
NickHi
I have never ever used the Fingerprint utility but possibly you have to set the user settings in the finger print software management again.
I think if you have updated the IE to version 7 so you have to refresh the settings in the Fingerprint utility.
Im not sure if it will help you but you can try it and please give me a result.

New Applications model DOES NOT work with StandAlone OSD media
If you are able to create StandAlone OSD media, the new Applications model DOES NOT work with it.
- The creation of the media will be successful
- The application installation itself will be successful
Yet after the application is installed, it shows the correct process it needs to complete based on the return code in AppEnforce log, but does not process that information back to the the TS Manager so it appears to attempt to download a policy which fails
causing the task sequence to error out..
Thanks,
Squirre1It is very similar to this description:
http://madluka.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/error-0x8000405-when-installing-applications-to-a-workgroup-system-during-build-and-capture-task-sequence/
It is using the application model, since it is not attached to the domain it is on a workgroup. But it is on standalone media and not during a build and capture sequence, it is during an OSD. But alot of the same puzzle pieces fit. Basically pointing to
the new applications model not working during standalone OSD when the MP is not available. i would say that not enough information is getting encapsulated into the Application when exported onto the StandAlone media. -
I actually need help but cannot find the answer.

forgot password on my apple I phone and just got a new one and can not remeber my verizon email password, how do I retrieve it
hibob99,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I know there are to many passwords out there now days to keep track of them all. Are you looking to reset the Verizon.net e-mail address? If so, you would need to reach out to Verizon Communication by calling 800-837-4966. Please keep us posted.

I have always been able to sync by plugging into my computer Mac OS 10.6.8 which does not interface with icloud. Now my iphone only wants to sync calander and contacts via icloud and will not sync when plugged in. Does any one else have this issue and or ideas?
Do you have the latest version of iTunes? If not, get it at:

My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore
any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore? It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now
iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?
Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
CS5 is history and it is not longer supported. There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera.. -

My Mac operating system is OSX 10.4.11 and I "replaced" my older version of Firefox with a newer one that does not open with my system. Can you send me an older version of Firefox? Thanks!
You can get Firefox 3.6.20 from here. <br />

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)
Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant. -
