Hi in fact I'm not looking for the driver but for the software to use the fingerprint.

Because on the Latitude E6400, Dell provide an utility tool to use and activate the fingerprint

bump!

My Vostro came prepackaged with DigitalPersona software which integrated well with the laptop. When I received the 7000, I ran into the same issue you seem to be having and installed DigitalPersona. Seems to be working great so far.

Thomas,

Did you ever get the fingerprint reader software?  The driver is installed fine but I will need some kind of software to make it function.

thanks,

Solution:

Download Dell ControlVault Driver from DELL's webpage under the tap "security:

In fact you have to use the Dell Data Protection | Security tools

Latitude E7440 - Is there any support for Windows 8.1?  The fingerprint scanner works great in Windows 7&8 but not 8.1.  All drivers are okay, all updates.  But when I attempt to register a finger the computer just waits and waits, never registers a finger like in the youtube MS video.

Exact same issue here on E7440 w. Win8.1.

Has anyone figured out what's wrong?

Hi,

Can you update the latest Win 8.1 driver for Finger Print on E7440 which will be available on the below link,

here

Yes, after updating the control vault firmware, which wasn't availbale for my specific service tag, but only for the general category of E7440 it finally works. Thank you.
