    Which files do I need to get the biometric fingerprint reader to function under Windows Vista? I went to the Vista download page for my model (SZ160) but I don't see any downloads specific to the fingerprint reader. I tried installing from device manager (letting Windows try to find the driver and software) but that didn't work as well.

    Can you post the link? I checked the Sony Support site for my model and did not see any download pertaining to the fingerprint reader.
