T500 fingerprint reader - Windows 8.1 fingerprint option missing "enable biometic framework"

Hy,
It's my first post here. I got a LENOVO t500 at work to use and I wanted to try to use finger print auth to log in. Its in a domain, but I got local administrator privileges on it. The machine runs 64bit Windows 8.1 Pro.
The fingerprint reader driver was missing in the first place (windows identified it as a fingerprint sensor but had no driver).
The sensor is an AuthenTec Inc, AES2810. I've tried to install the lenovo driver:
http://support.lenovo.com/en/downloads/ds034486
But received the error message in the subject about I need to enable the biometric framework.
I've also seen
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T420-Windows-8-1-fingerprint-reader/m-p/124...
and downloaded-installed an authentec driver successfully, so now device manager shows it and identifies it as it should..
Well I've went to the group policies as it was suggeseted everywhere on the net and turned on the options.
I've also checked and found a windows services that had biometrics in it : I've set it to auto-start and started it right away.
But even after all of this the fingerprint option is missing in the accounts sign in page in pc settings.
I've restarted the machine multiple times (with the real restart )
Could you please give me a hint?
I've spent a whole day looking for this yesterday..
Have a nice day & Regards,
Steve

Yes, but only after you enroll your fingerprints in the Fingerprint Manager, then Windows will tell you that Biometric logon is not enabled, and then you're given the option of enabling it.
However, for domain machines, this can be enabled thusly:
Goto: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Biometric Devices
Click: Change Biometric Settings
Click both:
Allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints
and
Allow users to log on to a domain using their fingerprints
Restart the computer.
Click: 'Switch user' at the log on screen and choose the fingerprint icon (this of course requires you to first have added a set of fingerprints to your account)
See if this doesn't do the trick.

DW CC 2014 Window--- Extensions--- Adobe Exchange Option Missing from Menu Toolbar

I discovered that this option is not listed in the menu though from reading Adobe Dreamweaver * Extensions it should be.
Then, I did a search and came up with Adobe Extension Manager CC at Adobe - Exchange : Download the Adobe Extension Manager.
So. I thought maybe I had to install the Adobe Extension Manager CC and the option would then appear under the Window menu items listed.
I successfully performed the install of Adobe Extension Manager cc then started DW CC 2014..
The option did not appear.
Now, I suspect I can use Adobe Extension Manager CC just fine (assuming here) but I would prefer to manage extensions as advertised in Adobe Dreamweaver * Extensions.
Can anyone give me some guidance?
Thanks,
Jerry

For anyone else with this problem it is a pain but, yes Arpit is correct. Uninstall Photoshop CC 2014.1, go to the Adobe site and sign in, go to Apps, download Photoshop CC 2014 again and install. It should open as 2014.2. Then you can see Windows>Libraries
I'm not sure why my system repeatedly would not see there was an update to Photoshop. That seems like a bug to me for a subscription based service. Wonder what else I might be missing out on?
Now I hope my Libraries content (which shows up in Photoshop) will now start showing up in the cloud online. It is missing. Ugh.
Hope this helps.

Windows 8 Sign-in Options Missing

In windows 8 after restarting the computer for the most recent update the Sign-in Options that allow you to switch between PIN or Password is missing. I am using a PIN code however now it is currently stuck on Password making me unable to log into my account.
How do I make the Sign-In Options appear again ??

After searching for a solution on and off for a couple of months, I managed to reactivate the PIN function by myself. Yay! The problem: I don't remember what exactly I did and I cannot reproduce the result so far, but here's what I believe
I did:
1. Hover to a right corner
2. Click "Search"
3. Change the pull down menu from "Everywhere" to "Settings"
4. Type-in "policy". "Reset Security Policies" will show up in the result.
5. Click "Reset Security Policies". This will open "Control Panel" -> "User Accounts and Family Safety" -> "User Accounts"
6. Click "Reset Security Policies" at the bottom of the left pane. A warning window will pop up.
7. Accept the warning.
Now go to "PC settings" -> "Accounts" -> "Sing-in options". Voila! "Add" button under "PIN" should be enabled. I restarted my laptop before enabling PIN, but it might not be necessary. I needed to turn on my antivirus software after resetting.
Now I don't see "Reset Security Policies" in the control panel anymore, but it seems this is what is supposed to happen: I don't have any security policy to reset in the first place. I removed an Exchange account that had caused all this problem from Outlook
and added it back, but it didn't disable PIN function this time. Thus I haven't been able to replicate this method so far. Hope this will help.

Bootcamp Assistant: "'Create Windows 7 Install Disk Option' Missing" Fix Problem

Firstly, sorry if this is in the incorrect fourm area, it's related with the Mountain Lion OSx software, so I posted here.
I am Running OSX 10.8.3
I'm trying to install bootcamp with a .ISO and a USB Drive. You need to make a Windows 7 install disk, and Bootcamp Assistant can do that for you, but the option isn't showing up.
I am running OSX 10.8.3 M-Lion
The link below shows how to fix the issue......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD4kgJQ-r0c
I did everything as it says, until the 2:20 mark in the video, where he tells you to go to the USBSupportedModels and copy the first string that follows....
I couldn't find it,however,I found a similar one, shown below. I beleive it's the thing that I need to duplicate, but the strings, shown below, are considerably different.
<key>PreUSBBootSupportedModels</key>
          <array>
                    <string>MacBook7,1</string>
                    <string>MacBookAir3,2</string>
                    <string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
                    <string>MacPro5,1</string>
                    <string>Macmini4,1</string>
                    <string>iMac12,2</string>
If you look in the Top comments section, there are people, running the same OSX as mine (10.8.3) saying that it's not working, with 2 people rating it up. There is a reply saying that it does work. However, I know if somthing is messed up, the Assistant would be rendered unusable, a risk i am hesitating to take. I Googled everywhere, but all I'm finding is the same fix for USBSupported over and over again.
Has anyone found a correct or know of a fix for this? OR should I just go ahead and do as the video says?
Thanks!

Don't modify that file because anyway it won't work. The reason is that Apple has determined the Macs that support the Windows installation from a USB drive by their firmware. It means that if you modify that file you will be able to create a Windows 7 USB drive, but if you try to install Windows, your computer will show up a black screen in the next startup telling you that it hasn't found any bootable device.
You can edit that file if you want, but it's not sure that the option will show up in Boot Camp Assistant, and you won't be able to install Windows through a USB drive because the firmware of your computer doesn't support this

Windows 2012 Group Policy Option missing for Windows 7 Client

Hi there,
We have a deployment with a windows 2012 DC and various Windows 7 clients.
I am trying to set up a group policy on the 2012 DC to configure the Windows 7 clients and basically disable the Aero feature.
The "Do not allow desktop composition" is the one I need to enable and this would sit under Admin Templates > Windows Components > Desktop Windows Manager.
In Windows 2012 Group Policy editor this does not show...does anyone know how I can do this to a remote Windows 7 machine from 2012 DC?
Note if it helps on a windows 7 machine you can also disable the service "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager”
to achieve the same thing BUT when looking through the Group Policy again I can’t seem to find this!!
Thanks for any help,
Steve

Install RSAT and edit on W7. Or copy all W7 admx/adml templates to the
central store.

Windows 7 Compressed File Option Missing From Send Menu

I am looking for the GPO setting to restore missing Send To Compressed Zipped Folder in Send To Menu.

I recently had to install winzip to open an encrypted file. I noticed afterwards that the sendto compressed file was missing I use this feature a LOT in my work so assumed it must be a winzip thing.   Even beyond that I dislike the complexity
of winzip so uninstalled it afterwords. Ever since then the "send to compressed file" option remains missing.   I followed the instructions to restore the file "Compressed (zipped) folder.ZFSendToTarget" to it's proper location
and to my surprise it was already there with original time/date stamp. I replaced it anyway but no joy. There are several webpages with this same instruction and it seems to work for everyone - by my case is obviously different.   Any
ideas?   Win7 sp1 professional 32 bit.

Reader 9.0- Print PDF Option Missing In All Applications...

Due to a glitch, I had to delete and reinstall my printers; now the option to print to PDF is missing in my print options. I am currently using Reader 9.0. I tried repairing the installation, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no luck. I cannot find any information on how to fix this. Please help- this is a feature I use daily!

Thanks Mike, I guess that's why I couldn't find any fix for the problem. I must have downloaded a PDF printer at some point and forgotten about it... I'm surprised though that Adobe doesn't just include this feature as there are several good free options out there.

Fingerprint option is missing from the Sign-in Options page

I have been trying to solve this issue for a while now but with no luck. I want to add a fingerprint login ability to my laptop (DELL LATITUDE E6530) which doesn't have a build-in fingerprint reader nativity. I bought an external fingerprint reader (Verifi
P3400) and installed the driver for it. Everything should work fine now on windows 8.1 as far as I understood because it nativity supports biometric login. However, the option to setup a new fingerprint login is missing for me. I tried the fix mentioned in
this
post here but it didn't fix my issue. I tried to log in as a local admin on my machine and retried the same fixes; all looks as it is supposed to look like but I still have the fingerprint option missing!!
So eventually I have two questions:
1.) How to enable the fingerprint option in the sign-in page.
2.) If I must be an admin to enable the fingerprint option, how to do it? I logged in as an admin and I still see the message "Some settings are managed by your sys admin.." How to remove this or otherwise change
settings while I still have it!
Thank you so much for your assistance.
(This screenshot shows my signin page with fingerprint missing. Also, despite the fact that I am logged in as the local admin user on this machine I still see the message "Some settings are managed..etc ")

Thank you so much! A perfect fix.

T500 Fingerprint software issue

I have an odd occurrence during login when the Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software is installed, and yes I am joined to a domain. Versions tested to date are 5.8.2.4462 & 5.8.5.6580. This also occurs whether a user has fingerprints registered or not.
I don't receive the [Ctrl][Alt][Del] prompt when the laptop starts up - v5.8.5.6580 does warn during a manual setup that this might happen.
Without registered fingerprints and the GINA still defaulted from Vista:
- The login banner is displayed, where I select the [OK] button.
- Then, 'Other User' is displayed.
-- I select that and am then provided the username/password prompt so that I can login
With registered fingerprints, and the GINA modified:
- The login banner is displayed, where I select the [OK] button.
- 'Please scan your finger' is dispayed
-- swiping the reader takes me directly to the desktop
-- using the option [Esc] displays 2 icons - Fingerprint Logon and Other User.
--- selecting 'Other User' provides me the username/password prompt
--- Fingerprint Logon takes me back to the original prompt 'Please scan your finger'
--- should I not select either I can swipe the reader and it will login. However, the desktop seems to be sluggish to respond
Machine details:
T500 with Windows Vista Ent. x64
Should I uninstall the Fingerprint Software then the [Ctrl][Alt][Del] prompt is returned, I receive my login banner, and the 'Other User' prompt no longer appears. It is as though the GINA used by the fingerprint software is not being properly applied. If this is by design then I guess it's yet another nuance my company will need to adapt to.
Can anyone offer any assistance to resolve so that I can utilize the fingerprint reader?

GMAC-R60
As soon as you register your fingerprints this is enabled by default. I still see the 'Other User' listed should I need to log on as another user and select the [Esc] option. I would expect that using [Esc] would take me directly to the username/password prompt instead of an extended Welcome Screen where I have the 2 options - fingerprint scan and 'Other User'.
Another oddity is that I am only seeing this action displayed on my x64 machines; whereas my x86 machines are not impacted by the same behaviour.

Fingerprint option in settings dissapeared

I had this problem also. Neither a RESET ALL SETTINGS nor a RESTORE as a new phone solved the problem. I went to the Genius Bar at the Apple store last night and they replaced the phone for free.

Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.
Cheers,
Dan

Enterprise CA option not enabled in Windows 2008 R2

I am making new installs of Win2008 R2 for Domain Controller and for separate CA. On the CA-Computer I cannot get "Enterprise CA" option during Install. Greyed out. I have seen the error in c:\windows\certocm log stating "Enumerate_..._no_install_Rights".
I performed "whoami /user /group" and included in the list are Enterprise Admin, Domain Admins, and schema admin. I logged in as domain administrator, to no success; as local CA-computer, to no success; and as created user (ca-admin) making him
member of domain admin, enterprise admin still no success. I saw the thread where WINS was mentioned, and I entered the DC as WINS, still no success. Any other suggestion? This is a new lab forest, with one DC and one other win2008R2 for
CA and one win-7 as client. If I logon the DC and perform add-Role AD-CS on the domain controller, Enterprise CA option is enable, but not from the separated CA-Computer we want to use. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Just a guess but are you installing the CA on a w2k8R2 Standard edition?
Enterprise CA needs to be installed on a w2k8R2 Enterprise edition, also you have to be enterprise admin as changes on the configuration (forest wide) part of AD are done.
Enterprise CAs (vs Standalone) can be installed on any edition of Windows, the difference between editions is the number of ADCS features and components that can be enabled!

/Hasain
I stand corrected.
The only time I had this is when I was not a member of the enterprise admin group (mind this was not a single forest).
If you do try remember to log out of the server and in again before you start the install.
Also just check that you can do nslookup for the domain you have choosen...nslookup <domainname>
This should return the DC IP you have set up
