Windows7 64-bit and Microsoft Fingerprint Reader
Hi, Presently I am using Windows 7 64-bit, when I attach Microsoft fingerprint reader, it is not recognized. Is there any drivers for this? Please provide to me. Thanks, Pavan kumar.

Hi Pavan Microsoft no longer manufactures the MS Fingerprint Reader. The last drivers/software that were made for this device are not compatible with Windows 7. Microsoft Fingerprint Reader Support Hope this helps. Thank You for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

Search on other (non-MS) forums for help. Many people have it working just fine, and one of the major tweaks has to do with setting permissions. I really don't understand why MS took this approach, seems like they had a falling out with the hardware manufacturer, are stamping their feet over some percieved slight, and in the end are saying "just you wait, we're going to make our faithful customers pay for this!" I'm no MS basher, more like a devotee, but this one really got me mad, especially after I found out how simple the fix was. Pretty unusual for me to say this, but it amounts to and EPIC FAILURE on MS's part. Good luck with your search, ought to be easy to find. DAS
