Fingertip Reader

Hi,

I have seen on the web a company that make and sells fingertip readers, they
have all the drivers for Vista and Vista64, but the drivers only, do I need
anything else to use such device with Vista64 + SP1


--
Thank You in Advance
Merci a l'avance

Re: Fingertip Reader

The only thing they told me is that the drivers are available for both VIsta
and Vista64, so if I plug this device instead of having to type my ID I just
need to swipe a finger, or do I need something else

Re: Fingertip Reader

Install the drivers. If that's what the mfg told you to do then what do we
know.

Re: Fingertip Reader

That's the thing, before I purchase the device I want to know if it will
work the proper, or if I need to install something else to make it work

I'm thinking that maybe Vista does inlcudes all that's needed, and I just
need to add the device

Re: Fingertip Reader

If Vista includes everything, then you won't have to install anything else.
Obvious !
But more likely you will have to download the drivers (probably include
some software) from the manufacturer's web site.

By the way, Microsoft has a fingerprint reader. It well work with Vista.
But any other brand offering Vista drivers should also work correctly.

Re: Fingertip Reader

But some of them are already installed/in use with a lot of laptop, and from
what I have been told there is no application with them, unless it was
hardwire in the laptop

Re: Fingertip Reader

Then buy the d*mned thing and be done with it. Why are you agonizing over
this? If someone here used the particular reader you are considering they
would have contributed by now. Just buy from an outlet where you can get a
refund if it doesn't work out, that's all.
