    Hey all, I just got my SZ440 (Most basic version, no bluetooth, webcam, or fingerprint reader) back from warranty service. They replaced my trackpad buttons with ones that have a fingerprint reader. But it's not working.

    It shows up on device manager (Vista Business) under Biometric as

    Touchchip Fingerprint Coprocessor

    using a driver from UPEK from 10/28/2006.

    The Protector Suite QL software that came preinstalled when I got the laptop back can't seem to find the reader...

    Any suggestions?
