T61 Fingerprint not working after Stand-By

[hoax32]

Hi yall!
My T61s Fingerprint doesnt work SOMETIMES when I wake my T61 from standby.
I slide my finger over the reader but nothing happens.....any idea?
I type in my password and after lets say 5 minutes when I switch users, it works again!
Whats up with that?

I haveWindows 7 Home Premium with all drivers and software up 2 date installed on it!

Did you find a solution? My T61 w/Win7 is doing the same thing, but only when waking from standby, rest of the time it works fine.

Do this:

Start > Right Click on My Computer then Properties > Device Manager > Biometric- explore it > Right Click on TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor then properties > Power Management > Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power > Click OK.
