When the dust settled, the Microsoft FingerPrint Reader works fine in Windows 7 and has all the same settings and web sites as it did before in XP Pro
When I installed Windows 7 build 7260, the Digital Persona 2.0.2 "installer" refused to launch, telling me that it was not designed to work on this version of Windows. The export-import has worked so far on build 7227. Some times, I have not been able to "export" my passwords in a file, something I do after I add a new password so I can re-import all my password when I install a new build of Windows 7. Up to build 7227 (that's what I'm on right now) the Digital Persona "installer" worked and my little procedure (see my previous post) has allowed me to use my fingerprint reader. I hope this helps everyone.ĭigital Persona 2.0.1 Manager Won't Install on Windows 7 Build 7260Īs more Windows 7 builds became available on the torrent sites, I've been installing them to see if the Digital Persona 2.0.1 Manager would continue to work. I even imported all my passwords from my Vista partition using the Import wizard.
Once all 7 files were done, I went back to the Reboot popup and said Yes.Īfter reboot, the fingerprint reader works as expected, starting with the Registration screen. I also selected "Run as administrator" (important). I did not answer, I just left the popup on the screen, then I went to C:\Program Files\DigitalPersona\Bin and changed all 7 EXE files to run in "Vista compatibility" mode after (important) first clicking on the "Change settings for all users" button. One point I noticed which many be important:Īfter the DigitalPersona 2.0.1 Manager is finished with its installation, it puts a popup on the screen asking to reboot. It seems a few people have figured out that the program needs to run in "Vista" compatibility mode (I tried "Vista SP2" and that did not work I did not try Vista SP1 as I was getting too frustrated with the whole thign). thanksĭigital Persona Fingerprint reader and Windows 7 Now it works to login but, it will not work with internet explorer im going to see if i can get it working but i need other input im only one 23 year old with one brain help me out. these are the executables needed to be changed. on the compatibility tab, click on change settings for all users, then on run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows Vista.
