T61 Installed XP SP3 - Fingerprint software not working.

Hi. I just installed XP pro SP3 i got from MSDN. I nlite'd it, and everything was nice until i installed thinkvantage fingerprint software.. It bugs the startup! When i type my password for login to windows it takes 3 minutes to get to the desktop. (without fingerprint software it took 5 seconds) In task manager "Winlogon.exe" takes up 50% cpu and alot of memory. Shutdown is also incridible slow. I uninstalled the fingerprint software and everything was back to normal. I then tried installing xp without ripping stuff from it with nlite, but i still got the same problem. So what do i do about it? Thanks!
EDIT:
Btw. the fingerprintsoftware doesnt work... It cannot display the fingerprint controlcenter.

I can only confirm parts of the thread-owner's post.
I have setup a localized version of Windows XP Professional SP3 (slipstream) and the fingerprint software (v.5.6.2) works fine as regards the logon - no delays of any kind (I am using an administrator account).
However I cannot access "Fingerprints" and "Settings" from the control center's main screen. The links remain black when hovered over. The "Tutorial" link turns blue when hovered over and clicking it will open the tutorial. I can manually open the fingerprint enrollment by clicking its own start-menu-item or by executing enrollbtn.exe from within the fingerprint software's program folder.
But how can I access the settings if not from the control center? And is any explanation available for the inactivation of the two item's on the control center' main screen?
UPDATE: Solved. The fingerprint software is making use of Internet Explorer (the xml files, probably) and choking on restrictive internet settings.

Z60t - ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software not working properly.

I have reinstalled Windows XP multiple times over the past 4 years on this laptop, but this issure still hits me. I have never been able to find out why it does this. What is "this"? Glad you asked, because I might have gone on for pages.
Basically, the "Fingerprints" and "Settings" menu choices are innaccessible. They always have, even on the pre-installed XP when I recieved this laptop for the 1st time. I only want easy accessibility to the Fingerprint functions.
I have Client Security Solution installed and updated, because I couldn't do worth junk in the Fingerprint Software. After I set up the security, enrolled my fingerprints, and setup my power-on bios password, I went into the bios to reset the TPM. When I did that, I also wanted to change my power-on and supervisor password. With that done, I booted the system. The fingerprint software asked for my fingerprint before boot, and it successfully registered...but the password it tried to enter failed. Of course, I figured this would happen, but when I tried to find a way to change the power-on password saved in Client Security Solution, everything pointed to access that setting from the Fingerprint Software.
I honestly need help, as it is aggravating to enter Supervisor and Harddisk passwords at every boot. As a recap, the menu choices don't even highlight as I hover over them. I click on them, and they don't respond with anything.
Thanks in advance.

There was an already existing thread about this.

T61 with Windows 7: Fingerprint reader not working

I downloaded and installed the fingerprint reader software for my T61 (7659-D22) with Windows 7. At the login screen I see the "Scan your finger" option, but none of my fingerprints is recognized, so I log on with my password.
In Windows I get the Fingerprint popup inviting me to enroll fingerprints. Three are shown as enrolled already (carry over form WinXP, no doubt), all of which I had tried unsuccessfully at the login screen. I tried enrolling additional fingerprints, but the scans do not register at all.
How do I solve this problem?
Solved!

Hi Z300M,
Are you using doman account? If you are then please go to
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Biometric Devices > Change biometric settings
And tick "Allow users to log on to a domain using their fingerprints"

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
Nick

Hi
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.
bye

FingerPrint Sensor/Software not working right with Windows XP Pro SP3

Hi All,
I have a 3 month old Satellite Pro S300-S2504 (2.4 GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM, Bluetooth, firewire - was a custom build with most of the options I could get). The O/S installed was/is Vista Business. It came with a dowgrade XP Pro SP3 disc as well.
I bought a second hard drive - swapped it with the original and installed Windows XP Pro on it - having grown tired of Vista. I don't intend to keep both O/S's - but I didn't want to mess with what I had until I got XP working - and that's the reason I got the second hard drive for XP. Anyway, XP Pro is installed and working except the fingerprint sensor. As soon as I booted for the first time - with nothing but the factory everything installed, it prompted me to register fingers for the sensor. I tried but I got a database not found error followed by a sensor not working error. I got the latest updates for the fingerprint sensor, removed what I had - rebooted and installed the newer program - I got the same error. I then uninstalled the program again, went through the registry and removed all entries whose key had TrueSuite in it, rebooted and installed the latest version again - rebooted - and got the same errors. Looking in Device Manager, the sensor is working fine but once I try to register a finger and it fails, I then look in Device Manager and the sensor has a yellow error indicator. I used System Restore to go back to the original configuration and then tried the Fingerprint drivers/patches for Vista and for Windows 7. All of them installed but I got the same database not found error followed by the fingerprint sensor not working error.
I did end the program, then using Task Manager, I ran the Fingerprint utility as administrator - still got the same errors. I've completely reinstalled from the Windows XP restore CD four times trying to solve this and I can't get the fingerprint reader to register fingerprints - I always get that error.
I have a lot of graphic editing (movies) software as well as file conversion programs and a very stable version of Roxio Easy Media Creator that all works fine in Windows XP - but it all has problems running in Vista and I'm tired of the bugs that Vista seems have - and I want to use Windows XP Pro. I will try any suggestions. The fingerprint sensor and software works reliably in Vista. I even updated it and that went fine. I suspect there's a problem with the XP version of the software for my computer. I did notice that Toshiba doesn't sell the this model series with XP downgrade as an option anymore. I wonder if this is one of the reasons.
Anyway - I would very much appreciate help with this. Any ideas at all are welcome.
Thanks,
Dennis

..a clean Win XP Pro install and it still doesnt work.There is a Win Xp key on the bottom of the laptop, but I cant seem to use it.
The Product Key that comes with the computer is useless to activate a retail installation. You would need to purchase a new one or convice Microsoft that an old one is no longer in use.
In the device manager it shows
Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
Network Controller
Unknown Device needing Drivers. I have searched and downloaded drivers and installed them but it still doest work.
Get the drivers from here.
Install the chipset utility first, followed by the display driver. Be sure to install the common modules prior to any Toshiba utilities, including power management.

You need to be more specific about which software applications you're using, the versions and what happens when you try to open them.
It would also be nice if you could include which model MacBook Air you're using.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Have you run it in a debugger? That will show you exactly what is happening and why.

Since installing Yosemite, Airplay with Freebox not working
With Maverick Airplay working well

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite
Try deleting the printer and scanner and add them back.
Also try Applications/Image Capture to see if it can find the printer and scanner.

HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
Go figure? Logical, No!
