    Hi guys I have a few questions I haven't been able to find a solution for while searching.

    1. I have a clean install of win 7 on an msata, how do I get the fingerprint reader to work for web forms? I have the thinkvantage software installed but I can't find how to do this. My previous laptop simply allowed me to swipe while on the webpage and it would enter my username and password and hit enter all with a single swipe. Can I do this?

    2. I'm probably missing something basic here but when I close the lid to sleep it seems like within a certain amount of time it basically shuts the computer down. It still resumes it just takes pretty much as long as it does to start up after fully shutting down. My old laptop (core 2 duo, no ssd) resumes within a few seconds after sleep. Only after many hours sleeping would it show the "windows is resuming" message. What's the deal here?

    3. I have the settings set up correctly in the BIOS and in thinkvantage software for the powered USB port to be on all the time, even when shut down. It isn't. Any ideas?

    Thanks!
