    After installing Windows 7 my fingerprint device seems a bit more sensitive, meaning that it detects things easier. One issue with that, if i play games that require arrows (old racing games usually) sometimes i activate the fingerprint reader with the bottom part of my hand which causes the game to minimize.

    The question is, is there a way to make it less sensitive or another way around it before going for the "wasd" solution ?

    Work around for me: external keyboard or tape over the scanner.

    cheers ...
