    I'm guessing this is a computer that didn't come with the fingerprint reader from the factory? If so, have you installed the drivers?

    How about the Thinkvantage Password Manager software? I've never done a retro-fit of this sort, but I'm guessing it's just a software issue.

    It worked by itself :s I did nothing. I did install and reinstall drivers and password manager but this didn't work when I restarted the system many times . I was using my pc normally when "found a new hardware" appeared. Maybe it was was dislocated or something.
