    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on my ex625 and now I'm missing the driver for my fingerprint scanner among other things. I've found the driver for the fingerprint scanner but it won't let me run it because it says the biometrics isn't enabled. When I open my biometrics devices window it tells me it doesn't see any devices. Is there anyway that I can get this working again?

    ps - what drivers should I also update along with the fingerprint?

    Interesting, is the fingerprint driver from the MSI website?

    Try getting the manufacturer and model of the fingerprint reader from MSI (might even be on the download page if you're lucky). Then try the manufacturer's website for win7 drivers.
