    I went through this when I was rebuilding my CF-30 for sale. I had to download several different readers to get my reader to work with Win7. You can download what you need from Panasonic's website.

    If you can download a workable solution from Panny... Would you still want to change?

    That does not surprise me since they have no updated software available. Apple bought them out a while ago and what I heard they will be using it on there tabs and phones only.

    I have seen that thread before and many others too (7 years old) a lot of things have changed since then :) . I have looked around for a alternative but found none. I think the last time they updated there software was maybe 3-4 years ago then apple bought them up and shut it down . You can still find the software on the net if you know where to look... :thumbsup:

    Have not had the time to mess with my FPR's much yet.
    Since they are usb based..Once you install proper drivers, won't any software for a FPR work?

    Yeah the FPR driver is on Panny's .jp site actually includes the UPEK SW as a bonus, yeah it's kinda a novelty to unlock the desktop and encrypt folders, but I'd rather have something that integrates into the web browser since that is where I mostly use (and forget) passwords.

    I had A FPS on my CF-30... I'd MUCH rather have a strong password. It is a novelty... At least at this level.
