Thinkpad fingerprint update messed with logon screen

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with Windows 7 professional 32-bit. Previously, my login screen would display a "fingerprint logon" option and my username concurrently. I just finished installing an update for the Lenovo fingerprint software using the Lenovo update utility, and now the logon screen will only display the "fingerprint logon" option until I click on "other credentials" or "switch user". I liked my old login screen better and both a system restore and an attempted re-installation of the old software failed to bring it back.

I would like to know if anyone knows a registry hack or something to keep the giant icon of a finger off my login screen (similar to this one: http://www.blogsdna.com/wp-content/u...gin-screen.png), and confined to tiny icons, like these : http://www.blogsdna.com/wp-content/u...windows-xp.jpg with the option of logging on with either a password or the fingerprint reader without any additional clicks.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

uninstall the software

Tried that already.

I uninstalled the new version and then re-installed an older version which I did not previously have any problems with; now it's all back.

I have the old version of the software installed but it continues to have the same screwed-up appearance that the new one had. Now it won't even tell me if the fingerprint swipe has been successful anymore; it's just a guess whether the swipe was too short or if the computer froze. I can't believe Lenovo would put out such a piece of garbage.
