    Hi...
    I have compal hel 80 with windows vista.....
    I Have therefore installed omnipass (software) to my fingerprint reader...
    But every time windows starts, or whenever I need to log on my account, I must wait several seconds extra, before I can swipe my finger and the omnipass program comes up...is there anything I can do to make this process shorter?

    get rid of it, it is a resource hog as well as delaying boot-up

    doesn't vista have native finger scanner support in the login screen?

    Enable the strong logon security, that will replace the nice looking, fullscreen-blue logon-dialogue with the oldschool windows-logon-dialogue.
    The result: omnipass loads nearly seamless into the logon, via it's own gina.dll.
    A second goodie is, that you don't need to let omnipass run into background, you could disable the autorun ... i did it, because it had taken lots of processing-time away ... especially the automatic password completion is creating a big amount of cpu-load ... try to browse with this "feature" ... you don't need to install any symantec software anymore for slowing your system down ;)
