When I get a chance to evaluate the new drivers (which will involve some image backups) I will update this post. Fingerprint login took so much longer than password login that I stopped using it, and did not install the drivers when I later reinstalled windows. My experience with the first release of the “Data Protection | Access” is that is is poorly documented, incredibly slow, buggy, and flat-out not worth the effort.

I probably won’t try it until they start supporting Windows 8. Also, I don’t know if this allows you to use the lighter-weight biometric framework version.
