hey guys, i've just received my Dell m6400...

1)installed 8gb RAM: OK
2)installed 320gb + 500gb HDD: OK
3)installed vista ultimate clean install: OK

now i have some questions regarding the security...

when i turn on the computer, i get a "bios" like screen asking me for my windows password... can i get rid of this?

in my studio 17, windows login would be accessible with swipe of my fingerprint... i dont see it on this...

in my studio 17, website login is accessible with swipe of my finger...

now, i've installed the driver and the fingerprint reader does work and was able to record my finger readings... but i'm not seeing the options on my web browser or the windows login to set up so that i can swipe fingerprint to log in.

am i missing something?

thanks in advance for your help.
