    Hi

    Since I run Windowas 7 RC1 on my m17 the fingerprint reader doesn't work!

    I tryed the new and the old version of the software but both install but when I should record my fingerprints I get the error "no fingerprintreader" :(

    What can I do? In device manager it is listed and no problem reported ...

    With Windows 7 Beta 7100 (non RC) the old version worked fine.

    Greetings
    Julian
