Hi all,
I'm having issues trying to use the fingerpint reader.
Notebook is an HP Probook g2 640 and I've instaled the drivers suggested by HP in the Support forum (Synaptics WBF).
Anyway, when I try to run the Synaptics app, this is the error.
"The Digital fingerprint reader is not detected. Please make sure the sensor is configured correctly and try again".
Also, in the Device Manager, I cannot find any "Biometric" information.
Do I need to install any other driver from Windows 7 first?
Any help will be appreciated. Cheers
