Fingerprint Logon Does Not Allow
Jun 25, 2009
I'm completely new at this lap top thing, and I hate the fingerprint logon function. I want to get rid of it from my welcome screen so I looked and went into the Fingerprint Reader Suit, clicked on Settings, then System Settings, got a pop up window, clicked on the Logon tab to try and switch from Fingerprint Logon to Standard Windows Log on but that screen is greyed out and it doesn't allow me to switch off the Fingerprint Logon!!!! How do I change it and delete the icon from my welcome screen!!?

I purchased reader a month ago anticipating use on my new computer that just arrived. Then I find it will not work with Vista 64. I got spoiled with it on XP. Does anyone know when software will be available for Vista 64?If not does anyone know of a good fingerprint reader that is compatable with Vista 64?

I have just got my new computer with vista on it and the computer also has a fingerprint scanner. However i dont have a clue as to how to make the fingerprint become a password. Im not computer savvy so simple instructions are the best.

I recently updated a bunch of drivers on my Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Premium 64bit; and, now the Fingerprint logon icon is on my login screen. It wasn't there before and I don't believe it was a part of my updating. I have searched everywhere for the Fingerprint Driver and have not found it or anything that could be linked to it. I wish to remove its annoying presence from my computer.

My Microsoft Fingerprint reader has recently stopped working. I have tried reinstalling drivers and software. The reader is illuminated, and shows as connected and working properly in device manager, but when I touch it nothing happens.

I am trying to get the Fingerprint Reader to work, but no luck! When I start the "Fingerprint registration wizard', I get the following message: "Error Invalid class string. Suspect installation problem." I have un-installed, re-installed at least 10times. no luck. I got the newest software from MicroSoft, DPPM_201_ENG.exe. (it says: VISTA Compatible).Mouse works just fine. I googled for an answer, I found the same problem that others also have, but nobody had an answer. I installed also under Windows XP, there it works perfectly with the same installation software. Checked at the MS-knowledge base, fix recommendations are more than 2 years old, tried it anyway, still no luck. Changed USB ports, ran it as Windows XP compatible, tried really everything, I am really at a loss. Hopefully someone out there has/had the same problem and got it working? After 2 days of trying I'm really getting..., well you know what I mean!

I have a problem with two things: Installing the fingerprint reader(have re-installed vista, have worked before) don't work. The innstall just disappeares and nothing happens after that. And the dvd station opens all the time, without anyone touching the computer. It happened after I reinstalled vista, have reinstalled before, but didn't happen then. It still reads cd/dvd's, but opens itself all the time.

I'm having trouble getting to the logon screen today after I shut it down yesterday last night. My friend's son was using my laptop to write up a research report for class and decided to go -exploring- in the system32 folder. He said all he did was move an authui file? I tried using my vista recovery disks, but I can't seem to locate them with all cluttered junk laying around the room(still cleaning).

I have a little workgroup. I have a printer server running 2000 Pro, 5 PCs running XP, and 2 Laptops running Vista. I can print and access the files in the 2000 Pro server from any XP PC. From both Laptops running vista I can see all the computers in the workgroup, I can also see the files and use the printer of any PC running XP. The problem is between Vista and 2000 Pro. I can access files in the Vista Laptops from the 2000 Pro Server, but I can not see any shared folder or use any printer in the 2000 Pro Server from the Vista Laptops. Each time I try to connect to the 2000 Pro Server from the Vista laptops I get a logon dialog box; I defined in the 2000 Pro server the same users I have in the Vista laptops (I did't do so for the XP PCs and they work just fine) and no matter what user I use to logon (I try to use also the 2000 Pro administrator user) I always get a "Logon Unsucessful" error.

Domain/AD environment where dcs are Win2k3 and print server is Win 2000 Server. The following logon script is used to map HP Laserjet 4200/4250 printers:
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection \printserverprintername
This works fine on all our XP clients but not on our Vista clients, even though the printers have been configured with vista drivers on the print server. When logging on to a Vista client, the printers are not installed and the following message is displayed:
"To use the shared printer \printserverprintername, you need to install the printer driver on your computer. If you do not recognize or trust the name and location of the printer, do not install the driver." The user then has the option to Install the driver, but it requires administrative access to do so (our users are not admins).

Just starting to look at Vista, but one thing that I haven't figured out is how to change the login. In XP Pro, if you went to user accts in control panel, you could choose to change the way users log on and log off, that way it didn't come up with the list of users on the machine, but worked like a domain login where you had to input your username and password.
I can't figure out how to change this on a stand alone Vista machine. I don't want the list of users, I just want to hit ctrl-alt-del and get a sign on screen where I input the username and password. Is this possible, and how/where do I make this change? Again, it is Vista Ultimate.

Looking thru the computer for unwanted or unneeded apps I came across under Task Scheduler Summary a task named "Secunia PSI Logon Task" (last run failed, etc), there are multiple instances under it w/no dates. Strange, if no program installed how can it run? Did find it in the library; program is on the computer but not installed, why would it still be attempting to run or check for updates if not installed?
Also "NAP Status UI (last run was stopped at, etc with multiple entries sublisted which is not in the library but google says that it for network admin for Windows 7. Could it also appy to Vista somehow?

Im new to computers and I got given a laptop running Vista Home Basic. I forgot the password at logon and now the laptop doesnt allow me to go any further than the Password input page at start-up. Is there any way I can bypass the password bit?
Ive tried starting up in safe mode, all that does is present me with the same problem. I did notice the bios screen states the password enabler is set to disabled. Does that mean anything? How do i enable it?

I've created a new user account but can't log into it - I always get the message "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded". I can log into all other user accounts. I am wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that I removed a user and then deleted the users's folder and all the files in that folder including NTUSER.dat file. Is there something I need to do to be able to log into the new user account(s)?

My sister-in-law who lives in Australia finally decided to use a PC to keep in touch over the internet. She bought a Laptop using Vista and set it up with one user account around 2 months ago. She is not computer literate and barely knows how to switch it on. It has taken her up till now to switch it on for the second time as she just got broadband installed at her home. The problem we now have is that she has forgotten the password she created and cannot logon to the system. I am not familiar with Windows Vista and was unable to advise her how to logon using the default Administrator account. It seems Vista is much different from XP in this respect. Can anyone advise me if I can access the default admin account on the logon screen or if there is another way to reset the password without talking her through a system restore. She didn't create password reset disks.

I recently did a clean install of Vista Ultimate. When I ran setup it asked for a name and choose a picture. Every start-up since then brought me directly to my desktop. I installed Office Ultimate a few days ago and now when I start up it consistently takes me to the welcome screen and forces me to choose "Administrator" or the name I typed during install. I have UAC disabled, but I'm not sure that has an impact here as it booted fine before. Outside of system restore, is there a way to regain my 'normal' start-up again?

I configure Vista to allow me logon to my home computer using a DoD issued smart card. It is currently used to access my DoD e-mail and for e-signature authorization, and has the ability to logon to DoD owned systems & networks. The card reader and 3rd party software (Activeclient) are both cuurently installed and working properly.

I want to create a "system account" in vista 64 bit Ultimate. It's just a user account, it will have a profile but 99% of the time no one will log in interactively with this account, more often with just the RunAs option.
Once I created this account though, I have another icon for it on the logon screen! How can I get rid of this icon? I don't want other people who use this PC to log on like that.
It's a normal local account, non domain environment. I was hoping to find a "Do not display a logon icon" checkbox where you change the icon pic or something simple.

I am having difficulty connecting to the wireless network that my apartment building provides. I just purchased a new computer with Windows Vista. On my old computer, which had Windows XP, I had no problems. All XP required of me was to enter the password that my landlord provided to me in order to access the secured wireless network. However, now that I have Vista, I try to connect and it asks me for: 1. Username, 2. Password and 3. Log on Domain. The only information I have is the password which worked on XP before. When I enter only that, I get a message saying "Additional Log on Information Required" or something to that effect. I don't have any more information than that.
