T60p - Finger print reader no longer loading on boot up or screen saver

My laptop has been working great for over 1 year.
When it boots up, it normally boots quickly to the windows logon screen and the finger print reader is available
and if I use my finger, it will logon to PC.
With in the last week, at boot time, I got some message about "netware?" during boot up which I had never seen before.
I just pressed enter and continued.....but
Now the laptop boots to a black screen and has the windows logon....no finger print reader is available.
After I logon on, then the PC takes over 10 minutes to boot.
If I leave it long enough eventually my desktop appears.
A quicker way around is to put it in hibernation mode, then instantly wake it up....the desktop appears.
Anyone know what may have caused this?
How can I  get it back to the way it was?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,
if Zone Alarm is installed, please uninstall it. It can cause problems.
Another way is to uninstall the new version of fingerprint software and install the old one.
If you don´t have a clean install the old version is in c:/SWTools on your hdd.
And try to don´t update anything, when your machine works like designed.
Regards
Andreas

  • T60p Finger Print Reader Bezel

    Can a T60p be retrofitted with a finger print reader bezel?

    Hi Wendel,
    Yes, as long as the motherboard supports it. There is a fingerprint connector on board but I don't know if it comes standard on all T60's so I suggest downloading following manual for your T60p to find out more:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-39​298.html
    Hope it helps.

  • 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.

  • T 420s cooling air coming out is very hot, finger print reader problem

    I am living in ruwais, abudhabi.i bought T 420s in last June from LENOVO  authorized distributor. Model number is 4174-KK4 and the sr no ***.
    Sometime the cooling air coming out is very hot, unable to keep the laptop on the lap.
    The cooling fan also replaced still the temperature is high.
    After replacing the fan I noticed that I noticed one of the screws was not fixed, I asked them to fix it, then they fixed it.
    I traveled back to my home 240 KM from the  authorized distributor service  center. when I started the laptop, the fingerprint reader was not working . Then I traveled back 240 KM to the  authorized distributor service  center to fix the issue. They fixed the fingerprint reader problem.
    Then now the SD card reader is not working. I was asked to bring the laptop to the  authorized distributor service centre.
    Can any one experience the same type of problems  with T 420s the cooling air coming out is very hot, finger print reader problem, card reader not working?
    The authorized distributor says for the service they can only cover 50 KM form the  authorized distributor service  center to the customer point, what is the conditions for the On site warranty ?. I am living 240 KM away from the authorized distributor service center from whom I bought the laptop.
    Moderator comment: Serial number(s) removed to protect member from mischief.

    Well clearly after the first incident. You need to check and us it verifying everything is working before leaving the service center or town its in. Go to a coffee shop and spend time using it and test each option is working.
    When the notebook its opened the finger print reader, card reader etc may not be connect properly or connectors not snap fully and disconnect. Mouse ultranav I have heard may also. But clearly you assume too much and you need to spend the time testing its working before leaving.
    These service center are only paid a fixed amount so they won't spend anymore time then they have to and address one problem you brought it in for.
    As for heat out put and over heating. There are many threads on these systems you can find and read about.
    Advice:
    - install Core Temp, this will monitor and display on the task bar you CPU core temp and you can see CPU load & Temperature at a glance if it approaching or staying near the max levels which will kill the CPU and/or motherboard due to cooking it. Its free just be sure to deselect any additional software from installing during the process. I use it on my notebooks. If the system is running high core Temp all the time you need to have it resolved or it will die and most likely out of warranty and/or your data will be lost if you don't have a backup as well. http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
    - use a laptop cooler. Its a flat pad you sit the laptop on you lap or table with usually two cooling fans that plug into the USB port for power. It will help cool the base of the laptop and other components inside will not be as hot. This will do nothing for the CPU temperature though.

  • Firefox does not recognize my finger print reader for passwords

    My lap top has a finger print reader into which I code all my passwords. When I use Explorer my finger print reader works fine, but when I use Firefox as my browser the finger print reader does not work

    I looked for software and found a suggestion which I down loaded. Now the finger print reader does not work either on Internet Explorer or on Firefox. So I had to do a reset to an early time to get rid of that soft ware. We are back to where I started, with the finger print reader working fine on Explorer 11 and it does not work at all on FireFox. There must be some work around, has this not occurred with other folks.

  • Tx2500z Finger Print Reader stopped working

    Hi all,
    My finger print reader randomly stopped working.  It looks fine in device manager, but when I pull up the software it says that it is disconnected. 
    As I said, this happened out of the blue - it had been working, then it stopped, without me changing any major software/drivers.  I've tried updating the driver but to no avail.
    Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

    If its anything like the TX1000 series, then your next problem will be your wireless card, then your DVD drive.  Then you will need to shut the laptop on and off several times to get it to boot.  Then, finially, it will no longer boot at all.  If you google your problem, you may find, as I have with the TX1000, that this scenerio is playing out over and oer, and HP is not recalling the defective motherboards.  I wish you the best, if your under warranty, get it in as soon as possible!

  • HP Pavilion M7 Finger Print Reader Not Working

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an HP Paviolion M7.
    I put an OCZ SSD in, and ended up doing a fresh install using non-HP Windows 7 (64).  Using the HP Recovery Tools is simply not an option (believe me I tried). 
    I have everything working now, except for the Finger Print Reader.  I have tried everything I can think of and could find.
    I am using all the drivers/software from:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5273...

    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/HP-Pavilion-dv7-4020sa-finger-print-reader-...
    And more. 
    I believe the issue is because Biometric Device is Unavailable to Windows, see this screenshot:
    I believe the above picture causes the Authentec HP SimplePass software to not recognise the driver version, see screenshot:
    Any ideas?

    I am sure they are the correct drivers, they worked with the system when it was an "HP" version of Windows. 
    The screens work for me, here they are again:

  • Can two people use the finger print reader on the same computer

    I can not get the finger print reader work for me.  My wife can use it, but I can not get registered. 

    Hi,
    Based on the following link, you need a different account to be able to register your fingerprint, the rest should be the same:
       http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01471790&printver=tru...
    Can multiple people log into the same PC with the fingerprint reader?
    Yes, multiple people can log into the same computer with the fingerprint reader if each has their own user account.

  • Finger Print reader does not link to Win7 Logon Screen

    Win7 Ultimate 64 bit
    FingerPrint software 5.9.4
    Biometric link to windows Logon accepted
    MS Server domain client
    At system boot, the logon screen appears and the fingerprint light is "on". I scan my finger, the light blinks once and no submission of the saved Windows password to the logon window. I must key in password.
    Lenovo support asked me to uninstall software, BIOS clear saved finger prints then re-install (and re-register). I have done this twice with no change.
    This was working until I had to break the domain connection (server change) and re connect to the domain with the same logon/password. It was at this time that the finger print reader stopped passing the biometric password to the OS.
    Any thoughts on how to re-connect reader to logon?

    I am using 5.9.4 with no problem, although I seem to recall having to go into the Fingerprint software and make some innocuous setting change, then change it back.  But I was changing a lot of things at the time and don't know for sure if that had any effect.
    Are you able to log onto the domain by manually entering your password?  If not, may need to re-add the computer to the domain.
