Fingerprint reader disappeared on logon after last update

[danny_isr]

I did the last thinkvintage update , and since then I have the Windows password instead of the fingerprint logon.
I cannot find where and how to fix this

BTW

I did notice while updating few “copy errors “ but the messages where very short time on the screen and I could not read them,



Thanks Danny

See; http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=20649

Also; go into the IBM Embedded Security Console and re-activate the fingerprint logon replacement.

HTH

thanks fixed !

went to that link and found this to help :

"

Had the same problem initially. Seems like it resets some setting back to default. I went into Control panel -> Other Control Panel Options -> IBM Embedded Security Subsystem -> Configure Application Support and Policy, and check "Enable Windows Logon Replacement" and select "Use Fingerprint Logon Only", then apply.
"

i didn't realize this is a common problem , hmmm i wonder how it didn't come on my forum search.


anyhow sorry for the redundancy .

now when i'm logging in i get the fingerprint. but after that the Microsoft logging windows shows up with my user password already typed in , then i see "loading your settings" still under Microsoft window (use to be IBM)
no big deal it all works.

thanks

It certainly isn't as nice as it was before the upgrade. I quite liked the IBM windows while logging in.

Huh? IBM Windows while logging in?

[krma-thkpds]

What I had in mind were the windows which appeared due to Fingerprint logon. And certainly was no sign of XP logon window.

Gotcha ... I am now seeing the WinXP logon window blink by quickly when logging in with fingerprint software.
