Windows 8 Fingerprint Drive on HP Elitebook 8540w

Hi,
I'm running the RTM version of Windows 8 but having trouble locating a working driver for the fingerprint reader. Anyone have one or any idea when HP will release the new drivers?
Thanks,
_alan

I was able to get mine working on an 8760w using the drivers from Validity here: http://www.validityinc.com/post.aspx?id=186

Hi AndrewBC,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums. I would try.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok

Fingerprint Driver Install after clean install of Windows 7

I've performed a clean install of Windows 7 on my X300 (6476CTO). I downloaded and installed the Fingerprint Driver 5.9.2 for Windows 7 32-bit (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73583). However, everytime I reboot I get a message that the Fingerprint Reader cannot access dll file vtapip.dll and the fingerprint registration fails. What can I do to remedy this problem?
I did notice on the readme that machines running less than the 5.6 version of the fingerprint software should upgrade to 5.6.2 before installing newer versions. Does this include clean installs? If so, where can I get the 5.6.2 driver? I cannot currently locate it.
Thanks,
Mindy

I have searched for A200 and A210 in the Toshiba sections of Equium, Satego, Satellite and Satellite Pro but their are no Flash card support utility. In the details of the "Value added package" are the words:
"TOSHIBA Flash Cards provides the Hotkey function and the launcher function that starts the Hotkey function and launches the other TOSHIBA utilities"
So I think it's useless to search for this utility. It's more important for me to know which files (like name of the launcher program) must be started to use the FN keys.

Can I change the HDD in my Elitebook 8540w to a SSD?

Hi
I've got a HDD that has started to make funny noises and I expect it to fail pretty soon. And while that is depressing in it's own right I feel I should do the best of the situation and and put in a fast SSD instead of the old thing. But before I go and buy the equipment I need to know that it can actually be done. I have read another thread on this forum about putting a SSD in the expansion slot (CD/DVD) but I want to replace the main HDD. So, my best guess is that it is possible but if there are any people here with experience, please guide me in how to proceed.
I have made a backup of all my important files so really the only thing I want to do is remove my old HDD and put a new one in and then install Windows 7 from the discs that followed with the computer.
Thank you very much for your time and help.

Hi,
Nothing to stop you to replace an old HDD with a faster "modern" SSD. In theory you can use ANY SDD but on the safe side please use SSD from vendor(s) who guarantees its product will work such as the following vendor:
    http://www.crucial.com/eu/upgrade/HP+-+Compaq-memory/EliteBook/EliteBook+8540w+Mobile+Workstation+%2...
The upgrade process is very simple (I actually put one Crucial 960Gb to one of my machines today). My suggestion: before doing hardware stuff, backup all files/data and prepare for a "big bang" (in my case, I cloned my old HDD therefore very fast). Please read the following articles for more information:

Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

Under Windows 7 - Fingerprint Reader Ignored After Standby Resume

I thought this was perhaps a platform-specific issue. But both on my ThinkPad T61 running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and my new ThinkPad T510 running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, whenever I resume from standby, any finger swipe against the fingerprint reader is ignored.
Note - I am not using the rather large Lenovo fingerprint driver package because I don't want the bloat. Just want a very basic, Ctrl+Alt+Delete password prompt replacement.
Does the "Registry patch to change IDLE IRP timing by Fingerprint reader driver for Windows Vista" need to be installed under Windows 7 (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245)?

i didn't know the lenovo fingerprint driver package was more than just a very basic, Ctrl+Alt+Delete password prompt replacement? (at least not that i noticed)

if you don't already have system update, download and run it. it will come up with updated drivers and hopefully a fingerprint driver. once it downloads and installs go to programs, thinkvantage, fingerprint software, and you can enroll your fingerprints. you might have to go into the bios under security and enable the fingerprint reader.

HP Elitebook 8540w RAM Upgrade

Hi,
I'm currently in the process of upgrading the RAM in my Elitebook 8540w. I have the Intel i7 M620 processor (dual-core) and bought the computer in August 2010. I also have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 2x2GB (total 4GB) of RAM.
I looked at this document to see what were the possibilities: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04150938&ver=25
Now, I see 2 conflicting statements in this document. On page 7, it says that 8GB modules are only compatible with quad-core processors (signified by two asterisks) and that it would only be possible to have 8Gb (2x4GB) total in my case. Then, on page 18, the table states that a 2x8GB (16GB total) configuration would be possible since there are no asterisks besides that configuration.
So which one is the maximum I can put in: 2x4GB or 2x8GB?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
The document is for many products for the whole series. Looks like your machine is a dual core machine therefore it only it supports only 8Gb for 2 slots (the first ** indicates 8Gb each slot and for a quad core you can get up to 4 x 8Gb = 32Gb).

Fingerprint driver crash on T440p & T550p

Hello Together,
i search a long time for an answer for my problem.
My problem is, that the Fingerprint driver crashed sometimes and after that the Fingerprint sensor is detected as unknown device in the Device Manager and you can't use it. The Point "biometric Device" This Problem comes after a restart, standby or after you had logged the screen. And a restart doesn't help
The only solution I found is, to delete the "unknown Device" and make a reboot. After this the Fingerprint have the right driver an all is functionality but only for a few weeks (~2 weeks).
Have you an Idea for a final solution?
In my Company this is a big Problem and we wouldn’t reinstall the Device every 2 Weeks on the same Notebook.
We have the Models T440p and T540p with Win 8.1 Enterprise and the System and the Driver for all Devices are stood on the current.
I hope you can help me with my problem.
Thanks in advance

Hallo Zusammen,
ich suche schon seit langer Zeit nach einer Lösung für mein Problem mit den Fingerprint Reader.
Mein Problem ist, dass nach einer Weile Benutzung der Fingerprint Treiber sich verabschiedet und das Gerät auf einmal als "Unknow Device" Erkannt wird. Natürlich funktionier danach der Fingerprinter nicht mehr. Ein Neustart des Gerätes hat leider keinen Erfolg gebracht. Das Problem tritt sehr sporadisch auf. Egal ob nach einen Neu Start, aus dem Standby oder nachdem man den Rechner gesperrt hat.
Die einzige Lösung die ich kenne lautet:
Das "Unknow Device" Löschen und einen Neustart machen. Nachdem hat der Fingerprint Reader wieder seinen richtigen Treiber und funktioniert auch wieder Ordnungsgemäß.
Leider ist das keine dauerhafte Lösung, da das Problem spätestens nach ca. 2 Wochen wieder auftritt.
Die Modelle, wo das Problem auftritt sind die Lenovo T440p und das T540p mit Windows 8.1Enterprise. Alle aktuellen Updates sind installiert und auch alle aktuellen Treiber von Lenovo sind aktuell.
Habt ihr eine Idee woran das liegen könnte und wie ich dieses Problem beseitigen kann?
Da das Problem sehr oft in unserer Firma vorkommt, ist das sehr nervig, da wir tausende von Lenovo-Rechnern Supporten und die meisten T540p und T440p dieses Problem aufweisen.
Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir weiterhelfen.
Viele Dank im Voraus

Can you please tell me where I can download a Windows 8.1 driver for SM Bus Controller on a HP Pavilion 11-h003sa x2 PC
It's the only device that Windows 8.1 can't find a driver for - I've tried to update the driver software in Device manager for it and it doesn't find anything.

Hi:
Try this Intel chipset driver...
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20775&lang=eng
If the auto install file doesn't work, download and unzip the second file listed (zip file).
Go to the device manager and click on the smbus controller needing drivers, click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you unzipped the file.
Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way.
For the mouse pointer problem try reinstalling the touchpad drivers.
