    So I haven't been having many problems with my computer of late, but now my scanner isn't really responding well. When i go to the control panel, i am able to use the scroll feature of the device (showing that it is working at least a bit) but i have about a 50% chance of using it to login to windows (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't) and to fill out passwords. My computer has been glitchy a bit more lately, did a bad vista update come out? anyways, if anyone has answer to this hit me up! thanks

    Have you tried updating the fingerprint software? The version that came with my machine had horrible memory leak which would affect performence.

    The folks at UPEK support sent me a the new version and all is working well again.

    I am not allowed to post the link to it, but you can email support and they responded to me within 24-hours.
