Microsoft Fingerprint Reader & Vista Sidebar bug.

Posted: 09-08-2007, 01:15 PM
Hardware: Microsoft Fingerprint Reader (DigitalPersona, Inc.)
Driver: Microsoft Fingerprint Reader 3.0.0.187
OS: Windows Vista Business

For some reason, every time my mouse hovers over the sidebar, I get a
fingerprint login prompt. That never happened before. How did this bug
happen and how do I get rid of it?

it easy for people o find that program

I downloaded the program from Microsoft on the off-chance that I just needed
to reinstall the thing. DPPM_201_ENG (v2.0.1) and now the log in bug only
happens with my address book gadget on the sidebar. Weird. What now?

This is driving me crazy as well. It actually overwrites gadgets such as
calculator, impeding me from even typing in numbers for a simple calculation.
I hope there's a fix for this soon. That's it, I'm going into my registry
to see if there is a way to stop it from looking at every page that contains
an input field.

Thanks to Michael at this post:

Romoving the MSN account logon from my fingerprint reader definitely
fixed the problem.
