    I just did a clean install of vista on my new HDX 16 and although the driver for the fingerprint reader is installed, I still need the software for it. I've searched and searched, and the fine members of this board are my last resort. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the old driver before I did the clean install. The driver is installed and running, and my computer can detect the fingerprint reader, but there doesn't seem to be any software for it.

    to finger print readers need software along with there drivers to work?,
    or i need more benefits from the software like storing the passwords,
