Fingerprint Logon with hp ProtectTools -Fixed

By RhysGoodwin on March 12, 2011 in Windows Desktop

I just got a new hp 8440P EliteBook(Windows 7×64) and wanted to use fingerprint logon. To cut a long story short:

Installed latest ProtectTools security manager v.5.1.1.744
Result: ProtectTools is installed but no fingerprint options.
Installed Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver v.4.0.15.0
Result: Fingerprint options are visible in ProtectTools and fingerprint enrolment is successful but no option at windows logon to unlock with fingerprint
Un-installed ProtectTools v.5.1.1.744
Installed ProtectTools v.5.0.4.669 (The version I have on my other Elitebook which works)
Result: Windows logon now displays the swipe to logon option but when you swipe it throws an error: “the system cannot find the specified file“.
Installed ProtectTools v.5.1.1.744 again over the top of v.5.0.4.669 which upgrades v.5.0.4.669 to v.5.1.1.744
Result: Everything is working as it should!

Hi, I am having the same problem. But I cannot find ProtectTools security manager v.5.1.1.744. I can only find v5.0.4.669. I can also find Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools v5.1.1.814. Is it possible to send me the link to download ProtectTools security manager v.5.1.1.744? Million thanks in advance.

  Hi Boon,
  
  Sorry for the late reply. Yeah it looks like they’ve pulled it. If you still need it let me know and I’ll see if I still have it on my PC at home.
  
  Cheers,
  Rhys

    I could use the ProtectTools security manager v.5.1.1.744 if you could send it to me. That would be great! Thanks.
