1 out of 5 stars Hard to customize   November 23, 2008
I dont know what is going with this hardware, but in the CD there are not drivers to use. You have to purchase the drivers in another place. Why sell a device without driver?


3 out of 5 stars Works as advertised, nothing spectacular.   November 10, 2008
Easy install, easy calibration and setup, works as advertised, and for a reasonable price.

Can't complain.

I was hoping I'd be able to use it to log in to windows but so far that hasn't been possible since the device is totally useless without Internet Explorer being involved. (or firefox with a plug in)



5 out of 5 stars As good as the best.   October 10, 2008
I market professional and industrial security devices for computer, network and building access. This is as good as the top of the line security devices costing more than $200 more. I will agree that this is not for commercial use, i.e. programable interface, high level of lockout security.... but it is a great device for home and personal use.

It will respond and assist with login for all types of programmed access. In my browser, I can open my bank's web page and touch my finger to the reader and boom dada boom I am in. Even works for elderly people who tend to have less definition in their finger prints.



4 out of 5 stars Good Device, Some Shortcomings, can backup up passwords   September 24, 2008
Microsoft Fingerprint Reader

The little device works, but as it says only on IE and windows login.
The windows login screen does change, it defaults to the fingerprint reader, but has a button for "other credentials"

Installation went without a problem, I would change the installation so the message that says "plug in the fingerprint reader" goes away when you plug it in.

I had a problem registering my thumbprints, so I just used all my other 8 digits (in case I cut or scratch a finger).

The bright red LEDs stay on all the time, it would be a lot better if they didn't come on until a finger was near or on the device.

There is a way to backup and move the password files around - it is in
the import and export menu options.

I like the wasy you can select certain fields of the login screen, and what button to use to "submit" when you create the login info. I am also using roboform, and am running both. Once again, the limitation of the fingerprint reader only works on IE. (And nothing works on Chrome!).

This is a good way to have your spouse have access to all your files etc if something hap



1 out of 5 stars Microsoft is terrible   September 8, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It astonishes me that Microsoft has become such a huge conglomerate that they can not even support their OWN PRODUCTS. If you read through the many reviews of this product on Amazon, it comes to light that this product is supported on Vista, but not on 64bit Vista. GO FIGURE.
My question, then, is this: Why make a second version of an operating system, if almost NOTHING works with it? Why offer it to consumers, knowing damn well that what you're selling them won't work with the OTHER things youre selling them? WHY?!?!? To make more money from us middle-class idiots, that's why.
I didn't buy this item from Amazon, but another large retailer, and now I have to return it, because I spent 2 hours trying to track down a way to make this work on my new HP laptop with Vista 64bit. Needless to say, it doesn't work. I guess I could blame myself for buying a computer with 64bit, but still. I shouldn't have to.
This product would be amazing if it actually worked. But, unfortunately for myself, and many others like me, it doesn't, and Microsoft obviously doesn't care one way or the other. Because, after all, they got my money for Vista being on this laptop I'm using right now, and they got my money for a Fingerprint Reader that is made by Microsoft, but not supported by Microsoft.
Thanks a lot, Bill Gates and company, you made even more money than you already need.
