    Has anyone been able to get the fingerprint reader on the latest latitudes to work in Windows 8? I got all the drivers installed and Windows sees it and I'm even able to scan my fingerprints into the learning software but after I press finished it's just like it never learned them. It doesn't recognize them and still says "Not Enrolled" in the biometrics settings.

    I have the exact same problem.

    I'm assuming that Dell will need to release a fingerprint management application which is compatible with windows 8.

    Anyone found a solution?

    Wait just a little bit, drivers for Windows 8 should be along any day now.

    If I am not mistaken, then those are the same drivers and enrolment software that has been available since august. The drivers work fine, but the enrolment software does not work.

    I haven't used Windows 8, but the latest broadcom driver for the M4600 / M6600 works with under windows 7 using either microsoft windows biometric framework or dell data protection. I have been using dell data protection, but WBF works fine so I will probably just use it. I would think that Windows 8 windows biometric framework would eliminate the need for dell data protection. All you have to do under windows 7 is start up the broadcom application and either enable or disable windows biometric framework and then use whichever method you choose.
