    fingerprint sensor not working on windows 7
    « on: October 30, 2009, 06:39:28 AM »
    I recently installed Windows 7 on a dual boot configuration with Vista on the other partition on my HP dv4 1030ee laptop. Everything seems to work fine and win 7 is great, but there is one important problem. On vista the fingerprint sensor works fine and on windows 7 it is not recognized. i think the drivers are not installed for win 7 and so i did try to find the drivers on hp's website but still it doesnt work. I really want the fingerprint sensor to work on 7 as i use that for logging in to windows...but cant find the Digital persona software and drivers for windows 7. can someone please help me fix this? thanks.

          Try this website ...

          http://www.driverguide.com/


          Are vista drivers compatible with Win 7 drivers, you could try making a backup of the drivers from the vista install and installing them to Win 7. Search google for a program called Double Driver

              :D  Double Driver did the trick! I also found the setup for digital persona on vista which helped as well!
            Thanks nothlit!  :)
