    It says it's only for 64-bit operating systems.

    Thank you so much. Looks awesome. Nothing really new except for the UI, which uses aero. Thanks!

    I wonder if this fixes the issues the previous version had with firefox 3. I have since disabled the firefox plugin since I discovered that it was digital persona that was causing firefox to not be able to open download links on webpages, unless you right clicked the link and selected "open link in new tab".

    Reading the enhancements part of the .cva file it looks like the only enhancement with this version was to include support for IE8.

    Thank you, can you provide the link to the hp notebook driver webpage you got this from? Is this the Digital Persona Personal version?

    I believe it is. :) I found it on the HP ftp, not any particular webpage. The driver webpages get updated once a week I believe so it should appear for the following laptops in the next few days:

    Well I installed digital persona version 4 yesterday and it seems like the problem I describe in my earlier post with firefox has been resolved. All of my tests so far have worked, I will continue to test it in the next few days as I plan to install firefox 3.5RC1 today.

    Yes, for dual booting you will need to install the appropriate version for each OS.
