    I just upgraded my hard drive and did a clean install, i got most of the software working (brightness, volume etc), however the finger print device does not work - does any one know how I can get that working, no questions marks in device manager - so from what I can tell all drivers are installed.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Bogart - thanks so much for the information - worked perfectly - I still don't understand what the fingerprint driver does exactly (I know it replaces passwords - but don't know what to specifically do with it).

    Thanks again for the help. I wonder if there is anything else I am missing from a clean install state? Are there other Sony programs that are worth while? Thanks again.

    jassalmithu - I do not understand your comment/question? My welcome center does work and comes up each time.
