    I just did a fresh install of Windows 7, I installed the drivers for the Validity sensor, but when I install DigitalPersona, it says no hardware detected. Has anyone encountered the same probelm?

    Thanks.

    I installed this beta driver for Win 7 from Validity website, it detects and works well under Win 7 Biometric Device. http://www.validityinc.com/post.aspx?id=186

    However how's your experience with Win7 overally. I can't get the touch buttons to work, and Win 7 detects my hard drive & fingerprint sensor as removable devices. Now I'm back to Vista.

    No idea why you guys want to install windows 7 which is still in beta. I have no issues with vista. But to each his own right.
