    I am trying to setup my fingerprint reader on my m1330. I have all the prints saved and I am using it correctly, but the computer just won't lock. I want to have to swipe to enter windows but I can't seem to get the setting. My startup screen has 1 spot that says swipe finger and the other is my login but you can just click it to enter. Anyone know what im talking about

    if u installed the fingerprint correctly and set a password to your account(and set the fingerprint manager to use fingerprint only)...

    at startup screen, u'll see two user account(one-urs, one-fingerprint manger)
    just swipe ur finger at this screen, a popup will come up saying verified, or errors(too short,too fast..etc)
