1 . In ‘ Control Panel ‘ under ‘ Biometric Devices ‘ I don’t see my fingerprint. I only see information that this device is not detected .
2 . DigitalPersona informs that the fingerprint sensor was not detected.
The c urrent version of DigitalPersona isn’t integrated with Windows 7. That’s why your fingerprint does not appear there like when you are using the AuthenTec TrueSuite software.
How you may check does the software works well?
If your fingerprint isn’t detected by DigitalPersona then the icon of this program looks like this:
If your fingerprint is detected by DigitalPersona then the icon of this program looks like this:
This is usually caused by the Windows Firewall, which is by default switched on in the Windows 7 system. You will need to unblock some files in this application to ensure correct work of y our fingerprint software and the driver.
In the below link you may check how to do it:
List of files w h i ch y ou need to unblock:
- C:\Program Files\Fingerprint Sensor\AtService.exe
- C:\Program Files\DigitalPersona\Bin\DpAgent.exe
- C:\Program Files\DigitalPersona\Bin\DpHostW.exe
- C:\Program Files\DigitalPersona\Bin\DpDashBoard.exe
- C:\Program Files\DigitalPersona\Bin\DpRegApp.exe
- C:\Program Files\DigitalPersona\Bin\DPRunDll.exe
The same thing you need to do perform if you are using any 3rd party (other) firewall software.
If you don’t want to do all this stpes you may always switch off Windows Firewall, but when you will do this your system will be vulnerable to attacks from outside ( less secure). This solution is not recommended.
Hi I have a Pavilion dv7-2112tx. After upgrading to Windows 7 the fingerprint reader is not detected. I completed all the steps outlined here however the software will not work because it keeps asking me to plug in the USB device with the finger print reader. I cannot do that because it is built in!
As well as the finger print reader no longer being recognised the upgrade to Windows 7 has severely lowered my volume and the touch mute button remains permanently orange. Despite the orange mute button there is sound although not at the higher volume as before.
So far I have only found these two problems with upgrading to Windows 7.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix HP’s flawed upgrade procedure?
