    Does anyone have or know of a driver... I've just reloaded Vista x64 and the only yellow exclamation in device manager is the Fingerprint Sensor..

    I found the UPEK website, but this doesn't seem to offer drivers/software.
    Has anyone managed a 64bit driver for Biometric Fingerprint Scanner?

    Tried loading the 32bit driver as a longshot, which failed to work. Seems Asus is completely half-assed when supporting x64, despite it being mainstream for many years already.

    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    Not sure what model you have Freakish, but I just reinstall my M50vn with complete x64 drivers. The fingerprint driver I got was for an AuthenTec AES1610 which I found on the internet after a bit of searching, but it was also on the driver disc which came with my laptop. You had to manually search the disc to find it though, the auto-install utility wouldn't pick it up. You need to navigate to software/fingers I believe (it was for mine) or search for SetupIAM.exe on your disc.

    If yours is the same as mine, then this file will support it (Version 7.9.0.4)

    "ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37501-38000/sp37815.exe"

    You'll still need the ASUS security manager installed to use it to login though.

    Hope this helps!
