T60 (8743) w/ Dock, Fingerprint KB and Windows 7 unable to undocl

I am posting this in two areas in hopes to find someone who can give me an idea if they have had success with Windows 7 and the 8743 (T60) w/ Adv Mini Dock and the USB Preferred Fingerprint Keyboard.
I have been combing through these forums as well as others and I am unable to find anyone who has this issue.
This only happens under Windows 7. I have installed all the Lenovo drivers included in the System Update as well as the Betas but never can solve this.
The problem occurs when I try to eject the T60 (8743) from the Adv Mini dock that has the USB Fingerprint Keyboard connected. If I remove the keyboard before undocking it is fine and the machine undocks normally.
Thank you

I have the same issue with my X201 ....
When docked and a fingerprint keyboard is connected to the docking station, I can't undock.
It prompt me the message about the touchchip.
Have created a call at Lenovo, but until now no solution is available.

Lenovo Fingerprint keyboard and Windows 10

Hi,I've done a clean install of Windows 10 Enterprise on my workstation, all good can login with my fingerprint using the Lenovo Preferred fingerprint keyboard and Windows Hello.The issue i have is that when i connect to a different machine via RDP the ability to login via fingerprint is gone, can't see anyway to enable it and it's really helpful.Anyone seen this at all?ThanksAdam

Ok, I just finished doing the clean install and everything works smoothly. I had an issue with the drivers though (the Intel HD control panel didn't work, but I downloaded the most recent version from their website and now it works fine). I didn't have any problems with the Energy Manager with the upgrage nor with the clean installation though. However, what @dylan6994 says is true, until you reinstall the Energy Manager your battery will be stuck in the mode that it was before the update, so I would recommend to install W10 with the conservation mode disabled.Thank you for the information about Energy Manager as that would suck being stuck at 60%. Is there a thread for Y50-70 Windows 10 Upgrades? I keep seeing various posts about issues with drivers on the Y50-70 and I would like to know if any issues like a concise list. The Y50-70 is listed on the compatibility list but always nice to know what drivers will need to be manually installed. I know there was an issue with nVidia drivers has that been fixed? Anyways, thanks for the heads up!

Euhhh New black Zen Micro with PINK LCD ?????? and windows unable to detect my mp3 play

please help me,the lcd is supose to be blue!
and i installed the 2 options on the cd and windows dont detect my mp3 players !
pls help thx

DM wrote:
The Micro can support pretty much any type of encoding and bit rate used in an MP3 file. However using a non-standard format (standard ones would be: 28, 60, 92, 320, etc...), may result in it not having the ability to transfer. VBR or CBR encoding techniques are supported using whatever encoder you like such as LAME.
If the file was not tagged properly then that could be a reason why WMP is refusing to transfer it, because if it was transfered then there is a risk that the player will have a hard time reading it and therefore freeze. Its just a precaution WMP might take, although I'm not certian on this eventhough it does seem logical that WMP is programmed to do this.
If its a WMA file then thats different, as the Micro does not support the Lossless encoding. And if you dont have the PFS firmware, you do but just mentioning, then it will also not support subscription songs.
Perhaps WMP itself isn't working correctly and needs an update? Check to see if any updates are available via the player itself and Windows Update.
If you can provide the techincal details of the songs that would be nice
Thanks DM for the answer, but as I wrote. There was a problem with my playlists, nothing to do with the player.
Cheers,
Jorge.

Using two fingerprint readers and a docking station

I'm having a problem with the fingerprint reader when used with an Advanced mini dock station.
I recently aquired an Advanced mini dock and a Lenovo fingerprint keyboard to be used with my T61p and Windows 7 Ultimate.
The problem is that each time the T61p is docked I need to open Windows Device Manager and disable the internal fingerprint reader - and when undocked - the internal fingerprint reader needs to be enabled again.
This is a bit tedious - to say the least.
I've heard from someone that Windows should 'remember' when you enable/disable like this when the machine is docked and undocked, but this doesn't happen here.
Any ideas on how to make Windows automatically switch between the internal fingerprint reader when undocked - and the external fingerprint reader on the Lenovo keyboard - when docked? I know there is no longer machine hardware profiles - like in Win XP. But shouldn't there be some other feature to take care of stuff like this?
Any hints are welcome.
TIA.

Tinkerguy,
Thank you for the tip.
However, although very informative - it doesn't help in my case. On the Lenovo fingerprint keyboard I'm using the fingerprint reader is an UPEK as well - and for both FPR's the same driver version is loaded.
I forgot to mention that I've already checked that the external FPR has been set to have precedence in BIOS.
I'm now in contact with tech support at UPEK - Let's see if that gives anything.
Question: Is there _anyone_ out there that is successfully using Lenovo's Fingerprint Reader keyboard with a Thinkpad and a docking station under Windows 7?
By successful, I mean without having the necessity to switch the internal fingerprint reader off and on when docking/undocking?
TIA.

EliteBook 8570p Fingerprint Sensor Issue and Windows 8 and 8.1 Built-In Biometric Framework

Hello there,
i'm currently testing the Preview Build of Windows 8.1 on my HP EliteBook 8570p and have a small Problem using the Fingerprint... but back to start...
In Windows 8 there wheren't any microsoft builtin biometric framework, to get the fingerprint there you have to install the hp security protect manager, and the validity Fingerprint Driver from here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=de&cc=de&prodTypeId=32...
the actual version that the site above state is this: 4.4.228.0 (31 Okt 2012)
the filename of the fingerprint driver should be this: sp59624.exe
exactly this is what i download, but then upon extracting and "older?" SP-Number appears? -> SP58152 ????
Driver should have Win8 support, but on installing it it just says it supports Win7 max... another hint that the driver packet is wrong packed...
this is the first thing what is very strange, even, the driver won't install automatically... just manuall, this is also a non WBF (Windows Biometric Framework) driver, so ne built-in fingerprint support of win 8.1 does not work.. indeed with the hp security manager... but when using the fingerprint login there i see just ugly Windows Vista branded Loginmasks... not a real choice..
after a bit of google seach i then found a new version of the validty fingerprint driver, but this is not listet in the 8570p Model download page... just found it with the help of google..
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=de&lc=de&dlc=de&softwareitem=ob-109892-1
this one have a newer version: 4.4.234.0 (2012-09-07)
interessting thing about this... newer version, but older release date... ?!
and it is a WBF driver, voila, i thought...
installing the driver via the device manager (VFS451) and Windows 8.1 is able to scan fingers for login or credentials requests... works quite well... until first reboot... sadly after the first reboot, windows just continously means that a finger is getting swyped acrous the fingerprint reader, but it isn't...
after deinstalling the device, and reinstalling it (and driver) the fingerprint reader works again still the next reboot...
any help is appreciated and HP PLEASE do something about all the issues with the fingerprint readers even in Windows 8 (and/or correct the download)

Hello DaStivi,
Your EliteBook is a Business model. Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum
Good luck!

Fingerprint and Windows Logon

How can I use the Lenovo Fingerprint Software AND the Windows Logon with keyboard?
The Fingerprint-Software works very well, but my colleague would have both options.
When I want to use the keyboard for logon, there is a error message that requires the fingerprint logon.
How can I configure this system with both logon-options???

Well, it was working great, but now that I've let it sit in the bag with only the battery connected for about 10 hours, it's back to the same behavior.
The reader on my T500 was perfect. Not sure what's going on here, but this issue makes it unusable with the 3 try limit in the BIOS.

Fingerprint support on Windows 10 - ThinkPad T440 and newer

On Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, ThinkPad T/W/X systems use fingerprint software. T440 and later models use Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro. This software was needed because those versions of Windows did not natively support fingerprint readers.
Starting with Windows 10, Microsoft has added full support for fingerprint readers into the operating system. You only need a driver. The fingerprint software is no longer needed, and should be uninstalled prior to upgrading to Windows 10. The purpose of this guide is to help you upgrade your Win7/Win8/Win8.1 system to Windows 10, so that you can successfully continue using your fingerprint reader.
Before upgrading to Windows 10, you need to make sure you know your Windows password. Whether you have fingerprints enrolled or not, the Windows 10 upgrade process will ask you for your Windows password, so you must know it.
Below are the steps I took to successfully upgrade a T450 system running Windows 7. My system has 2 fingers enrolled, and I also have preboot authentication where I use my fingerprint to enter the BIOS Power-On password.
Open Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a Program. Scroll down to Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro and then click on "Uninstall/Change".
Click "Yes" at the prompt about "Are you sure...?"
When the uninstallation finishes, click on "Finish" to restart the computer as prompted.
After the reboot, log into Windows using your Windows password.
Upgrade to Windows 10
After the upgrade, open Device Manager (type Device Manager into the search bar)
Expand the category for “Biometric devices”
Double-click on the fingerprint device. On my system, it’s called “Synaptics FP Sensors (WBF) (PID=0017)
Click on the “Driver” tab
Click on the “Update Driver…” button
Choose the option for “Search automatically for updated driver software…”
You should see a message like “Windows has successfully updated your driver software”. Click on “Close”
Back on the “Driver” tab, confirm that the Driver Version is now 4.5.308.0 or later. This is the latest version of the driver as of July 31, 2015
Click on “Close”, and then close Device Manager.
The next step is to enroll fingerprints in Windows 10, to do this, we use the new Windows 10 feature called “Windows Hello”. To get to it, open Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options
To use Windows Hello, Microsoft requires that you first set a PIN. Under the PIN section, click on the Add button to create a PIN. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your PIN.
Under the Windows Hello section, find the fingerprint item and click on the “Set up” button. Follow the on-screen prompts to enroll your finger. Enroll more fingers if you want to.
Windows 7 only: You might see a problem where the “Set up” button is greyed out, and you can’t click on it. You might also see red text at the top of the Sign-in options windows that says “Some settings are managed by your organization”. As of July 31, 2015, this is a bug that we are working with Microsoft to solve. You can manually fix it yourself by modifying the registry. Download the attached .reg file, double-click it, and then click on “Yes” to confirm that you want to modify the registry. Reboot the PC and then go back to step 17.
Any questions or comments, please leave them here. I hope this was helpful. Thanks for reading!
NOTE ABOUT T430 AND EARLIER:
These systems (with Authentec fingerprint readers) use ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software which is still needed on Windows 10. It can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds036923

I too was fighting with my fingerprint reader after my upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. I have a Thinkpad W700 with an Authentec AES2810 reader. I think my computer would fall into the "Note about T430 and Earlier" section, but the ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software would not detect my Authentic reader. What worked for me was to uninstall all of the Lenovo software that I had from Windows 7 as the initial steps (1-5) indicate. In place of steps 6-14 (because Microsoft does not include the Authentec driver), install the Authentec WBF driver package from the link below on Dell's website. It does not have anything inside it that is branded just for Dell machines.... just the Authentec WBF compatible driver. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=DFDJ9 After that, continue with steps 15-17 to set up Windows Hello to enable fingerprint based logins to Windows 10. My initial issues on all this was to get LastPass fingerprint scanning to work again. As best I can understand, it accesses the fingerprint reader through the Windows Biometric Framework. This driver allowed not only Windows to work with the fingerprint reader as Microsoft intended, but got LastPass working too.

Windows 7 RTM fingerprint reader and webcam driver status for TX2

I read somewhere on HP's site that windows 7 drivers for this TX2 - 1027CA won't be available until October 2009. Still I am using it now, and the main system is running fine. There is an issue around the fingerprint reader, and possibly the webcam for me at this stage. Until HP delivers updated drivers, I wondered if there might be beta versions of drivers for the TX2 I might try. I'm willing to keep using windows 7, but I'd like to try to install updated drivers asap. That's possibly two months away, and one month into the OS availability to MSDN subscribers (many businesses and developers). I'm guessing there are some other people reading this list who have found what is and isn't possible on the TX2 today under 7. Would you mind giving us a brief run down on what drivers are working or not working? Fingerprint reader and webcam are of high interest for starters. My goal is to get working what can be working.

Sony Vaio Z and Windows 10

Seems like Sony Vaio Z - sony's premier line of laptops will not get Windows 10 driver updates which is absolutely ridiculous. Sony should be taking care of customers who buy their top of the line products. My laptop is not even 3 years old yet. Especially the video drivers for the docking station should be updated.

Hi I just would like to share my experience updating my machine to Windows 10 Pro from Win 7. Model name is SVZ1311CHXXI. Before updating online, I used Sony's driver site and applied the latest drivers on Win 8 or Win 8.1. That should have a high chance of compatibility. The online upgrade was seamless and quick. After completed the whole process, I checked and found the following points. 1) Fn Key: Volume, brightness, and zoom ---- works2) White button: Assist, web, vaio --- work 3) Dock --- Disk USB and video work. Used bit locker for a USB stick which works seamlessly. 4) Memory card slots --- work5) Fingerprint sensor --- Initially did not work but after setup on Win 10 it works when logging in.6) Touchpad --- No problem7) Graphics driver --- This is a tricky part. As this model uses two graphics drivers simultaneously, Intel's HD 4000 has a driver of 10.18.10.4252 as of July 10, 2015. AMD HD 6700M has a driver of 15.200.1046.2 as of July 15, 2015. So it looks they have the best driver but presumably because of the Sony's customized setting, the graphic experience is not perfect. (But it works. Otherwise, I cannot write this.) The issue can be observed from old software programs on x86. Video rendering and resolution scaling is not optimized so that you can see blurred menu bars on the top or fuzzy fonts on it. But you can operate it. Not all programs are experiencing this issue. I suspect relatively dated x86 ones are more likely to get this. It did not happen my other Win 10 PC that uses the same program. There is something that needs to be done by Sony to solve this video driver issue as they chose to provide this hybrid architecture that was the premium paid by users. 8) Sound --- No problem. Noise canceling headphones work as well. 9) Hard disk configurations --- The same and no issues.So that is about it. I would say compared to my previous experience upgrading old VAIO Z with Nvidia hybrid from Vista to Win 7 64, this is much seamless although a new Win 10 video driver needs to be delivered by Sony. Wish my experience helps and more strongly wish Sony guys could use my experience to respond to it and offer the updated drivers the users would like to have ASAP.

T400 Fingerprint Software in Windows 7 no longer working

A few days ago, after the usual windows 7 upgrade, the fingerprint prompt to swipe any enrolled finger just disappeared.
After several attempts of reinstalling of the fingerprint software what worked is as follows:
- From the control panel, Programs and Features, uninstall both the windows driver package and the lenovo fingerprint software;
- Download and install the latest lenovo fingerrpint software from the Lenovo support site;
- After the restart, you will be prompted to enroll one or more of your fingers. I was able to enroll one but then later I got an error message "cannot communicate with sensor" or something like it.
- What I did is to go to the control panel, device manager, then pointed to the authentec device and chose properties. Uncheck the box which says something like "allow the computer to switch off device to save on power".
- Then chose from the control panel, Lenovo's Fingerprint Reader and proceeded with the enrollment without any issues.
- Restarted the system, and it worked as smoothly as before. BTW, enrolled six fingers, three on each hand.

i would believe it might be the limiting of the number of programs during startup.
do a msconfig and configure it to startup only windows item only. See if this makes any diference

Finger print reader and windows 8.1

Have an HP DM4T1100 notebook, Can't get finger printe reader to work with Windows 8.1. Worked with 8.0 64bit, but when upgraded to 8.1 64 bit lost the use of the Finger Print Reader. Have loaded many different drivers and software but nothing works and the finger print reader no longer "blink". Sometimes get infor saying swipe finger but the Reader is not flashing.
Need to know steps to clear all the fingerprint drivers and software to start over, hopfully with know dirivers and software that works with Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Hello,
After checking the HP Driver and Download page, for your exact notebook. Their are no available drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1. For a possible work around, you can try the 8.1 drivers for another notebook. At this point, I would suggest creating a restore point on your computer if you have not already. I have included the document 'Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)'. Please click on the option for Create a restore point, and follow the instructions.
Once the restore point has been created. You will need to uninstall the previous drivers that you have installed for the finger print reader. I have included the steps below for uninstalling through Add and Remove Programs.
* From the Start screen type Add and Remove Programs
* Select Add and Remove Programs
* Once the list is populated look for anything like Validity driver, SimplePass, Finger Print Reader, or Biometric
* Right click on these options and select uninstall
After all the items have been uninstalled, please restart your computer. After the computer is fully back, please empty the trash.
The next step will be to install the Validty driver, and then the Fingerprint Reader software. I have included the links below for you.
'Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver'
'AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor Driver'
Please let me know if you are able to use the Fingerprint reader after this, thank you.

WiDi on the W520 and Windows 8

I have W520 and I am trying to get Intel WiDi working on Windows 8. In the past I was using WiDi on Windows 7 with no problems, but since I upgraded to Windows 8 I am unable to get it working. I installed the latest version of PRO Wifi (Wireless_15.5.6_e64), I have the latest version of the GPU driver (9.17.10.2932), the latest version of Intel My WiFi (Intel_My_WiFi_Dashboard_15.5.6_e64) and I installed the latest version of WiDi that supports SandyBridge (3.0.13.0 for Windows 7). Intel Update tells me I should install the latest version (3.5.40.0 with Windows 8 support), but it checks my hardware and tells me it is not compatible. How should I get it working? Thanks for any advice.
Lenovo ThinkPad W520 15.6" 1920x1080, UEFI 1.42, Intel Core i7-2820QM 2.3GHz, Intel HD3000 + nVidia Quadro 2000M 2GB, Kingston PNP 16GB (4x4GB) 1600MHz RAM, Crucial m4 040H 256GB SSD, Lenovo TP Drive Adapter UltraBay 12,7mm + WD Blue 1TB 5400rpm HDD, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN, Gobi 3000, Lenovo TP Port Mini Dock Plus Series 3, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit

Hi, I finally figured out what was the problem - for some reason the latest WiDi setup that is supposed to be compatible with Windows 8 drivers failed to detect the Intel HD card when the Optimus mode was enabled (due to Lenovo's vcamsvchlpr.exe the nVidia card was always active right after the startup when the laptop was docked and it did not help to just end this task and deactivate the nVidia GPU, I had to disable Optimus in BIOS). The error message shown by the setup was a bit misleading (it told me that my system is not compatible and that I should use an older driver which installed fine), but at least I got it to install. Now I am facing a different issue as it tries to connect and when the connection succeeds it immediately disconnects and tells me to reboot. I'll try to solve that by uninstalling/reinstalling the WiDi later. Thanks for your help anyway.
