Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Administration / May 2008Classic Logon Screen
How do I turn off fast user switch and turn on the classic logon screen. I have a fingerprint reader and in XP this only worked from the classic logon screen. Ive followed the instructions in the MS Press Vista admin guide where you go into local policy settings and enable classic logon but it doesnt seem to do anything. My PC is used by my wife as well but not with the fingerprint reader. What make and model fingerprint reader do you have? Have you checked if the manufacturer has an update for Vista?

You'd have to contact Targus. I checked their website and trying to download drivers goes round and round in a circle back to the marketing page for that product. It looks like they don't have drivers available other than what comes with it. Windows Vista does not use the classic logon screen. They would have to change their software to work with Vista.

Thanks for the help, I encountered same problem on the targus site. I have removed the fingerprint reader for now but cannot uninstall teh software as it doesnt recognise the uninstall program when you run from add/remove programmes. Cannot find the actual uninstall file so that I can chose compatibility mode. Its the omnipass programme that Im trying to remove > You'd have to contact Targus.

If you upgraded from XP this may be the problem. Sometimes after an upgrade the uninstall portion of a program gets mixed up. One possible fix is to reinstall the software. You may have to use the compatibility settings and also Run as administrator to do this. Once it's installed if possible don't uninstall it from the Control Panel. Run the manufacturer's uninstall program using compatibility mode and Run as administrator.

Visit 'here' (http://www.targus.com/us/Downloads/PA460_470_Drivers_V2012.exe) and download this if you need drivers for Vista on the finger print reader. Save to desktop or downloads and then run it as it sometimes corrupts when you try and run it from its current location. Let me know if it works! Signaturebig_cam_01 http://forums.techarena.in |
