    Hey I have a HDX 16-1200 with Windows 7 installed.
    I have the fingerprint reader working fine for logging in, but I was wondering if it's possible to make it work with general applications like internet browsers?
    It is possible on Vista, but I don't know how to get it working on Win 7.

    Which version of IE comes with Win 7. If it's IE8 forget about using the fingerprint reader with it. DigitalPersona hasn't updated the software for use with IE8.
