    Hi All

    I bought one of these at the weekend but had 2 queries:

    1.) Mine doesnt appear to have the fingerprint recognition thing. Why is this?

    2.) How do I set a password on the machine to protect access?

    Thanks in advance

    1) Some models do while other do not. You just happen to purchase the one that doesn't. I think all SZ's in the USA have a fingerprint scanner.

    2) You can set a user account password. Your on Vista yes? I'm not sure if its the same path as XP but Start > Control panel > User accounts.

    Cool, thanks. I just assumed that the fingerprint thing would be standard.
    I am on Vista so will have a play with that tonight.

    Thanks!

    "just happens doesn't one..." I don't think that really justifies it man. :cool: Each model specific has specific features and he must have chosen teh one without it.

    Yes, that is what I said. He happened to buy the model that did not have a finger print scanner.
