Fingerprint Driver windows 7 64 bit

Hi, I have a Fingerprint Scanner (it says this in the description of my laptop "Fingerprint LTT SS801U & UPEK TCS5B") and i want to use it with windows 7 64 bit using the built in biomectirc devices but the current driver installed (egis tec version 8.70.801.1024 vista 64 bit) doesn't work with windows 7.

I've found Acer Aspire 8943G Notebook EGISTEC Fingerprint Driver 8.70.801.1024 Driver for Windows 7 x64 Free Download - Softpedia but the windows 7 driver won't install. All the fingerprint sites don't offer downloads to there divers . Where can i get the driver from? please help me .

Did you try this one? http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...5778&Step1=Notebook&Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire <- Vista
http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...8469&Step1=Notebook&Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire <- 7

No that one doesn't work, i tried to install the driver from the device manager in windows but it just said windows could not find the correct driver or something. Also tried to install the program but it doesn't install the driver.

Have you tried installing EGISTEC Fingerprint Driver 6.5.76? I know it might be a little older than ver. 8.7...that you found but it might work.

Good luck!

That one installs but isn't recognized by windows 7 "biometric devices". I've installed digital persona for now and it seems to work. I'm guessing for the moment that there is not a driver for my device that windows 7 biometric devices will recognize?

I think this is the software you used to solve your problem, pleasse correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it might be a good idea for others to have the link. Fabe digitalPersona::One Touch for Windows Software Development Kit

Welcome To UPEK - Support - Customer Support - Protector Suite 2009 for Windows 7 this one worked for me

I've tried the upek software and it installs but doesn't detect my fingerprint device, also won't except the drivers.

The digital persona version i am using is the one from the hp website : Digital Persona Fingerprint Reader Software HP HDX X16T-1100 CTO Premium Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
But this software is 4.10 and won't update to the latest version 4.11 (just says that it can't install on this system?)

With the driver that lsjimenez recommended :

(Digital persona also works with the 8.7 version of this driver which you can get from a free program called driver max)

But having this driver installed with this software doesn't allow me to access the biometric menu from the control panel. If i install truesuite then i can access it but it doesn't recognize my fingerprint device.

I have a link to egistec software under downloads, khlb2, win7, fingerprint reader. here is the link:
Welcome to Marasst Service

But with the egistec software on my laptop using windows 7, it causes the system to boot slowly and sometimes crash . If anybody has a link for the lastest version of bioexcess from egistec i would be grateful

Thanks for posting back. Fabe

I found an update for bioexcess from the Lenovo site but after the install the update the program crashes. Says something about the egistsr.exe.

Using driver max with no driver installed for the fingerprint scanner i identified it as this:

Fingerprint ReaderManufacturer LTT
Hardware type Secure biometrics devices
Hardware class SecBioDev
Connection USB
Hardware ID VID_1C7A&PID_0801
Vendor ID 1C7A
Match probability 100 %
Search for downloadable drivers To search for drivers for this device, please click on the search link above (the one that says "Search for drivers for this device").

But when searched for it the driver never came up. It's an internal fingerprint driver on a compal khlb2. LTT? does anybody know what this stands for? or hopefully there website with drivers?

I am having the exact same issue as you Bowater...

I bought this Acer 8943G-9429. I made sure it had a fingerprint reader so that I can use the Windows Biometric Device settings. I want to use other software besides the crappy EgisTec/Acer software that comes with the computer.

i can't seem to find a solution. The driver that came with this EgisTec fingerprint reader doesn't seem to be a Windows 7 WCF capable driver.

If you find a solution, please let me know. I may return this Acer laptop because of it. I am very put off by this.

I still haven't found a solution to this, just to let you know.

This really pissed me off. I bought this Acer Aspire 8943G-9429 laptop thinking it would work with Windows 7 WBF. I did my research and saw that it came with an EgisTec fingerprint reader. Before purchasing, I checked EgisTec's website to see if their readers work with WBF and they have a press release dated back in 2009 saying their fingerprint readers are working with Windows 7 WBF.

Here's one of the few releases (saying it will work with Windows 7's WBF):
EgisTec Announces Support for Windows 7 for Its Fingerprint Sensors and Software - Company - EgisTec Inc.

Well, I bought this computer with their reader assuming it would work with Windows 7 WBF. Then I get the laptop only to find out it doesn't work with Windows 7.

So, I contacted them on several occasions (by email) asking them where I can get an updated driver that will get this reader working with Windows 7's Biometric Framework (pointing out their press release). Of course they do not reply to any of my emails (sending auto-responses from non-working email addresses). Another example of corporations cutting costs, using crap hardware from unreliable and crap companies.

Of course it works with Acer/EgisTec's included security suite software...which is complete junk. I want to use WBF with this reader and I am pissed about it. This is false advertising.

Try going to Device manager and find the finger print scanner under biometric devices.
Uninstall and reinstall drivers.
If it still doesn't work try picking a different one by by updating the driver and picking it from a list of drivers on your computer.
Hope This helps.

You have probably already tried this as well but just in case.
This is the link to an acer driver page with the up to date fingerprint driver about half way down
Good luck.

Yea, I tried both of your suggestions.

I know these are still simple suggestions but just in case.
Make sure your biometric scanner is on in biometric settings. I came across them last night and didn't even know you had to turn it on (mine was set to off by default)
And I don't know if you have gone through the process of saving each finger print with windows and saving the password.

Nathan,

What do you mean; "Your Biometric Scanner is on in biometric settings"

As I said, my biometric settings don't even show that there are any readers installed.

Lou

Ok
i clicked on the start button and typed in the search box "change biometric settings" and there is an option to turn the finger print scanner on or off.
But if its not recognising anything it probably wont work.

Nathan,

No big deal. I appreciate you trying to help.

It's just that Egistec says that their readers work with Windows7 WBF and they don't. I actually made sure to research the hardware on this laptop before purchasing. After reading their press release, I assumed it would work with Windows 7 WBF. Silly me for assuming a company would be honest in their press releases.

Here is their press release stating that they support Windows 7 WBF:
http://www.egistec.com/company/news...s-7-for-Fingerprint-Sensors-and-Software.aspx

They have yet to reply to my multiple emails. Been waiting a week for a reply.

What a joke & a garbage company.
