| | Vista wakes to login screen I'm running Vista and the Microsoft Finger Print Reader and am having what I would call an inconvenience. Every once in a while Vista wakes up from sleep. But being I'm using the Fingerprint reader it gives me 2 icons. My login as Admin and another which I can't use. My wife is setup the same as mine buy if hers wakes up it wakes to Windows and not the login screen. Of course hers will go back to sleep after the set time but mine will finally shut off the monitor but the computer still runs. Is there anyway to make it bypass the fingerprint reader if it does wake and go right to Windows? There are no options in the Fingerprint program for anything except to store passwords. Any ideas how I can work around this? |
