Fingerprint reader not listed in Biometric Devices

[eMelus]

Hello. The HP Notebook I'm currently using with Windows 7 Ultimate is the Pavilion dv4-1225ee Entertainment PC (FZ248EA#ABV). It's got a built-in fingerprint reader (Validity Sensor's VFS201), which works only with DigitalPersona.

Now the problem I'm encountering is quite minor: If I go to Biometric Devices in Control Panel, I get the message "Windows did not find any biometric device on this computer. You might need to attach your device or install device drivers", even though the reader is listed under Biometric Devices in Device Manager ;

I tired installing the 64 bit version of DigitalPersona FingerPrint reader. It installed successfully; however, the fingerprint reader would not enable as part of the installation. So, I went ahead and enabled it in the Device Manager.

After rebooting, the Authentic AES1610 was recognized under Biometric Devices (which is great). BUT when I go to Manage my Finger print data and try to add finger prints I get a strange error "The ordinal 345 could not be located in the dynamic link library COMCTL32.dll". The error pops up several times (4 - 6 times)

I also tried using the DigitalPersona Personal software (FingerPrint enrollment Wizard) and had no luck. Upon selecting a finger to register, I get the error "The finger print reader is not connect. Connect the reader"

Anyone else having these issues? Better yet, anyone found a solution for this issue?

Cheers
