Acer laptop fingerprint features???
Just reminded me reading another computer thread.
See if anyone can answer this as its baffled me for some time now
On my laptop it runs vista home, with internet explorer 7, when it came to updating the Internet explorer to the new 8 my laptop wouldn't work the fingerprint recognition feature into website passwords etc as it saved the via the 7. Dosent even give the option to save in fingerprint feature (saves me remembering passwords). Tried other ie like Firefox, chrome and so on and still dosent work, so I've had to revert back to ie7. Does anyone know what the problem is here, does my laptop only work it's fingerprint features with the ie7 that it came with?
Thanks

I've just done a search and there's a few drivers from 2009 but unsure if these will work for the problem I want sorting? It's a bit mind boggling.
Basically it needs to work with the new browsers like Firefox, chrome etc.
Laptop came with ie7 so wondering if it only works for that.

Okay had a look on this page (under section 'fingerprint'):
http://support.acer.com/us/en/Produc...px?modelId=570
The top one is for Vista X86 (32 Bit edition)
UPEK
Version 1.9.2.111
Size = 115.7 MB
Date released: 07/15/2009
The second one is for Windows 7 X86 and 64 bit editions
UPEK
Version = 6.2.56
117.7 MB
10/23/2009
The third one down is for Vista X64 (64 bit) only:
ABIG

115.7 MB
05/06/2009
The forth one down is for Win7 X64 and X86 Only:

You need to know if you are using a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Vista. To do this right click on teh 'My Computer' Icon on your Desktop or in the 'START' bar option and choose 'Properties' this will tell you under the section 'System' and System Type.

Once you have opened up Internet Explorer simply click on the 'Help' menu option and click 'About Internet Explorer'.

Nice. So you have a 32-bit (Or also known as a x86) Vista Operating System with Internet Explorer 7.
Okay Your best bet is to download the first 'Fingerprint' driver from the link I have provided you as this is the only one you can use

Once downloaded you will then need to unzip the file.

And should this now allow my fingerprint recognition to work on Firefox and chrome etc?

Once downloaded unzip the file to access the contents.
Before you download it maybe worth doing a system backup using Micorsoft System Restore point option first;
Look at this article to show you how:
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/...-vista/6159394
This way if the driver does some weird stuff you can safely restore the PC back to how it was before putting on the driver

Just trying to download this myself but it has hung on 84%. There should be some files such as 'Setup' and 'readme' etc...
Worth looking at the readme or any documentation first to give you an idea if the software will work to how you expect it to.

IE8 came out in roughly 2008
There is now IE10 on Windows 8.
Im using IE9 on Windows 7 (2009).
Mine has downloaded. Looks like you go into the Folder it has created and you right click on the 'Install' file and choose run as Administrator to install.
But make sure you do the system restore point First!

IE7 will no longer be supported by some websites (Such as Shopping ones etc..) due to its age and security updates being not much available for it from Microsoft. IE6 was disowned by many sites last year because of this.
Worth trying IE8 first. Dont forget Windows Updates should also be taking care of security updates for both of your OS and Internet Explorer.
Ideally moving off VISTA all-together maybe a smarter move as Windows 7 is a lot better and slicker than VISTA. Put it this way I stayed on Windows XP due to VISTA and then moved directly to Windows 7. You wont notice much difference between VISTA and 7 apart from the speed

Definately go with IE8 or 9 if you can get it.

1 for the new driver. If this works then create another before IE8 upgrade. If IE8 doesnt work then restore to one of the other points
Hopefully this is now enough for you to get going?
