Dear Mike,

I use the latest version of DigitalPersona Personal on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. The sw allows for standard user accounts to have their own authentication. I'd like to know if I can bypass/login to a standard user's account if I am the administrator. Meaning, is there a way for the administrator account user to override the login for a standard user that is protected by the fingerprint program. I have searched for an answer but I cannot find it (DPP's site has no info and it's not in their product's help section). Do you know perhaps?

Thanks

Nowadays, if my computer is a member of a domain, it is possible to use DigitalPersona Password Manager to log on to your Windows XP user account? I need the Logging On with the Windows XP Logon Screen feature. Thanks.

Anyone know which XP security update in the last month or two conflicts with the MS fingerprint reader? The first problem that surfaced was the FPR no longer worked while plugged into a USB hub (powered). Then when plugged directly into a USB on the computer, the OS started freezing (KB and screen requiring power down) after a random length of time. It took some time to determine that the FPR was the problem.

so i bought one of these about a year ago (or when vista came out), along with an upgrade to 32 bit vista. I like it alot, used it all the time. Even modded my desktop case to allow for easy access. not long ago, i discovered you could swap your 32 bit vista disk for a 64 bit one through some ms program, so i swapped it out (bad idea there is no upgrade path from 32 to 64 bit os's but any way, i happened to have a 64 bit version of xp floating around, installed it, upgraded it, only to find my microsoft finger print reader doesn't have any drivers for 64 bit operating systems. From my understanding, in twist of irony, the only 64 bit opperating system that microsofts finger print reader works on is linux... I'm still holding out hope that this will be fixed, but i checked again today, and found nothing - less really, than i had previously. Is there any hope? or do i have a 30$ dust magnet permanently glued into my desktop case?

I've had this little guy for a few years. I LOVE it. My only complaint is that it won't log me into the domain. Ah well, it's not designed for that kind of use.

What's up with all the Firefox people whining? Firefox is ok, but it's third party. Don't expect a complany to support every third party piece of code out there, even if there are millions of downloads. Good grief. BTW, I've always used IE, learned to love it's strengths and curse some of it's weaknesses...but I'd never change. AND, I've NEVER had any major problems...virus or otherwise.

Hi,

I just bought the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader and after installing the software, i did the setup on the "Fingerprint Registration Wizard" that was no problem.

But then when i tried setting a password to one of my email sites, by opening the login page & pressing my finger on the scanner nothing happens, & i don't get the fingerprint reader icon on my task bar.

I can't find the One Touch Menu or the Fingerprint Logon Manager.

Would appreciate if some could help me out of this problem.

Thanks,

Adi.

I need to read the fingerprint off my ms reader and get the user details onto a VB program. Which dll or activex controls do i pick and how to pass parameters from the fingerprint device to my system.

Thanks
