I installed GrFinger SDK 4.2. that contain FingerCap USB Driver 1.0 but through reading on internet I learned that this version contain many problems , so I when replace it with Fingerprint_SDK_2007 that contain FingerCap USB Driver 1.2 ,Thank God ,my problem have been solved Thank you

Unless it is plug and play (PnP) all software and drivers come on a CD with the hardware. you have not mentioned the brand and model. So, use the model and brand name to search for its drivers on the net.

have you reinstalled the driver? if you reformatted the OS then all the drivers would have been deleted

If you turn data execution prevention off (cntrl panel, system, performance steeings buton then the DEP tab) it will work.

It is better to add only the programs (.exe) from the BIN folder of your C:\Program Files\DigitalPersona\bin folders since DEP is a good security measure against many types of attacks.

The single fact that Microsoft keeps that bug around can be seen as "you will never get security with Big Brother". It is really ugly and, as an electronic engineer I think Microsoft Monopoily as somethiung to do with NSA CIA MOSSAD and wars.

I am sorry to say what my most honest intuition tells me :)

You can register 10 fingerprints, but dont know about other user accounts.

I've been using mine for about a year with no problems, try plugging it into a different USB port. Windows will probably reinstall the drivers and this will reset the fingerprint reader. If it doesn't come back on then, you're probably gonna need a new one. Also, check the system tray icon for the fingerprint reader. Hover your mouse over it. If it says that the reader is connected, chances are that red light just somehow isn't working. You could try taking the whole thing apart and looking at the red light to see if there's anything unusual around there.

Are you thinking about buy one? You want to know if it will work for your needs? Ray CompuGuy44
