    I just got my new dv7t quad laptop and when i turn the laptop back on from sleep the fingerprint reader is not detected. so when i go to type in my password manually the screen flickers about every 2 seconds and resets the cursor to the beginning so it makes typing my 16 character password a , i usually have to just restart.

    Also i ordered a bluray player and installed that into my laptop but the hp mediasmart software wont play the movies. i ended up getting a trial software for 30 days but i dont plan on spending another 50 bucks on software when hp should have software i can use with this laptop. I would love to get any suggestions and appreciate the help

    I don't know about the first one. But CyberLink's DVD Suite SHOULD be preinstalled unless you uninstalled it and you can play them through that.
