Media Center Extenders don't work with fingerprint software

Ok, So a few months ago I stared a thread trying to figure out why I couldn't get my 360 to function as a media center extender and needless to say, no one could figure it out. Well, my friend and I both have the same setup (HP dv6500t) and Neither of us could figure out why we couldn't get our 360s to work.

Here's where it gets weird, last night I was browsing around the Microsoft site for the billionth time and came across this...

Error message when you connect a Windows Media Center Extender device to a computer that is running Windows Vista Media Center: "Extender did not connect"

Turns out, our fingerprint readers are the culprits! Sure enough, uninstalled the fingerprint reader and it worked.

So, my question is, can anyone even fathom why this would be happening? Because I would love to use both my fingerprint reader and my 360 as an extender.

Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue on Windows 7 I think. I can set up the extender and then I cannot finally connect. I am on a HP Elite book with HP ProtectTools running the finger print reader - Did anyone ever find a solution
