I installed Windows 7 Beta on a Dell Latitude D620. Laptop has built in UPEK biometric fingerprint reader. Windows 7 did not automatically install a driver. I first installed the driver from Dell. Dvd Cd Rom Drivers For Windows 10 on this page. com for Vista 32bit. Device manager shows driver installed and hardware running, but the fingerprint reader does not show up in the Biometric Devices screen from within the Control Panel.

Next, I went to UPEK's website, and downloaded a driver dated 12/2008. Same scenario, device manager is good, but no device showing up in Biometric Devices in Control Panel.

I removed driver and rebooted machine before and after each attempt. Anyone have any ideas?

Or are the existing drivers just simply not supported currently by Windows 7 Beta fully? Thanks in advance! I checked that with UPEK, and my reader according to the Windows 7 Alert Center, 'The model name of your Fingerprint Reader is TCD 41/42/50', is a currently supported reader for this beta??? - Brian UPDATE. I contacted UPEK and they have helped me to get this working.

There are two things I needed to do: 1) Download the UPEK Windows 7 Beta software and drivers from here: 2) Once software is installed, go to device manager, right click on the UPEK reader, go to the power management tab, and uncheck the option for Windows to allow this device to save power or go to sleep. Once I completed this, the UPEK reader worked fine. I have had the same problem on a Toshiba Satellite P200. I installed the special software from UPEK (dated 12/2008), but the fingerprint reader failed to operate. The UPEK software would start, then report no device avaialble.
