Product: EliteBook 8440p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
Yesterday I ran Driver Booster in an attempt to improve Netflix playback. It said I had 72 out of date drivers. After running it and restarting, the fingerprint reader permenently said "Reader not detected". I have it set to require password and fingerprint for all accounts, so I cant log in to try to fix anything. Any ideas what I could do aside from factory reset? Unfortunately dont have any backups (But I did pull all the files from the drive so not THAT concerned about them, but would prefer to just fix the issue)
