E6500 Fingerprint Xp

no no my reader works fine in vista through the bios and and logging on what i wantis the ability to log onto websites etc like the other software allows you too

but it wont seem to recognise the broadcom fingerprint reader is connected and keeps saying so owhen i use the other software so im stuck with the wave software which is limited to bios and windows log on , i would have hoped for more but its not happening maybe when i do a fresh install it might work but i cant be bothered with that just at the moment

 

To avoid giving false hope to anyone that might read about fingerprint readers in old threads I just want to give this update. I have been in contact with UPEK support and WAVE support regarding support for fingerprint readers in E6400/E6500.

UPEK answered that UPEK Protector Suite QL (PS QL) supports built-in UPEK swipe sensors if they are connected to the computer in the normal way but not through the Broadcom USH device. UPEK area sensors (FIPS certified) are not supported by the current version of PS QL. Area sensors will be supported by PS QL in the future but if it will also support area sensors connected through the Broadcom USH device is not clear. UPEK PS QL otherwise supports switching between a built-in fingerprint reader and an external USB fingerprint reader.

WAVE answered that there is no support for external readers in the E-Series machines for Preboot or Windows Authentication. On E6400, only the internal Authentec reader will work with their software.
