    I have had my Dell Studio since July and the facial recognition has never really worked. It recognized me ONE TIME about 3 weeks after I got it. Is there something wrong with my computer, or is this just a terribly inneffective program? (On the other hand, could it be my face itself that is defective?) Is there a way to fix this?
    I now just find the FA popup boxes really annoying. How do I turn them off?

    Tangentially, I REALLY miss the fingerprint reader!!! Why in the world did they get rid of it and switch to this awful FA system?!?!

    No, I am pasty like Casper. I have the latest version installed. How long should it take to log me in? I think more than ten or fifteen seconds is too long for it to be useful. I want my fingerprint reader back!
