HP Recommended
Product: Probook 450g3
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2008

How do I disable all attempts to check fingerprints in Win 7 pro 64bit on a Probook 450g3? I bought this notebook to replace an older probook which was also running windows 7 pro. It is for my 84 year old mom who does NOT deal well with any changes in her computing environment. I don't want the danged Biometric device not found error. I don't want to teach her to replace her password with a fingerprint check. I don't want the bleeping fingerprint device or its related software AT ALL. I just want the bootup sequence to be exactly the same as it was with her old win 7 pro probook laptop.

 

In this case and her age, new is NOT better. New is just an obstacle to use! Yet the software is still trying to check for and use the bleeping fingerprint reader. How do I kill the damned thing?

 

Thanks.
