Authentec update causes Fingerprint reader to no longer work
I need some help and hopefully can find it here. I have a Lenovo 300 N100
Notebook running OmniPass. On my last windows update, an update was installed to the Authentec Fingerprint device driver and now, the fingerprint reader does not work. I would like to get things up and running again, but do not know how. Can anyone come up with a way to get things working again. Thanks fo the help Steve C.

And reset your winupdate settings to only download/install critical updates,
not driver updates, which you should only obtain from manufacturers sites, in your case Lenovo "coladan1" wrote in message ... I need some help and hopefully can find it here.

Mike - Thanks...that did the trick...didn't know you could roll back a driver
like that. Learn something new every day. Anyway, my fingerprint reader is back up and running. Thanks again Steve "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote: "coladan1" wrote in message ...

DL
Thanks for the tip. My settings were correct...I just thought I was doing the right thing by installing the optional update for my device. Won't make that mistake again.

Authentec update causes Fingerprint reader to no longer work
I am having a similiar problem I downloaded updates the other day and since
then every time i log on i get a window saying it needs to complete installation or something like that i gone through every possible choice to say yes or no but it still always comes up. The finger scanner is playing up with it as well. I tried to do the rollback that you mentioned but i am unable to choose the rollback button. The update appears under update history but not installed updates .... so i can't uninstall it. i have a toshiba satellite running vista... please help.
