    How come it doesn't work.
    When i first installed Vista the earlier today it never asked about fingerpring recognition or whatever it is.
    Do I have to download something or what?
    I see the diagram off this laptop and it has two fingerprint scanning spots on each side of the touchpad, how do I get it to work?

    Wait now, I'm lost.
    In my diagram of my laptop it has a fingerprint reader and even has an arrow to it, but on MY laptop it's not there!
    Wow, hmmm.

    Did you order your laptop with a fingerprint scanner? It's on the right side of the touchpad, pretty obvious if it's there or not.

    It's in the "quick tour" guide that came with the laptop.
    It's in the picture, but not on my laptop.

    If its not on the laptop then either you didnt order it with the laptop or you got the wrong laptop/they messed up(highly unlikely).


    The quick tour guide is for laptop with and without fingerprint reader(its cheaper and more convenient for them)...
