• Added HP SimplePass Identity Protection by Egistec, version 7.1.5.9.

Some words about this uptade:

BioExcess (HP SimplePass Identity Protection by Egistec) only supports PCs equipped with EgisTec sensors.

So, it'll not work with many HP sensors such as: VFS201, VFS300, VFS301, VFS421, VFS451, VFS471, VFS5111, VFS5011, VFS5131 (HP DV6/DV7 series).

Tested on my dv6 - Soft doesn't see sensor !

The Egistec / HP SimplePass software is mostly working on my dv6-2000 (which includes the older VFS301).

What is the specific model number of the dv6 that you are using?

HP Pavilion dv6-6152er (LZ495EA)

Other fingerprint reader software (from Authentec and DigitalPersona) works perfect.
The Egistec software - No reaction.

Any ideas?

Let me look into this. Anyone else also experiencing the same issue?

I am using dm4-1210tx with older VFS301 finger print device. Driver is old and only works with Egistec. I can install latest WBF driver but egistec or any other programs doesn't work properly with it. It seems to work though. I'll be very glad if anyone can suggest a solution

Yes, the Egistec version wasn't detecting the sensor in my dv6 quad 6100 either.

It wasn't detecting the sensor in my DV8 either. I'm back to using an old DP version. Kind of sucks that HP hasn't got something that works with current releases of FF for us. My machine isn't that old that it shouldn't still be fully supported, imo.

• Updated HP Movie Store powered by RoxioNow to version 2.1.
• Removed HP SimplePass Identity Protection by Egistec.

HP Movie Store is under the MediaSmart category.

As mentioned in the Important Information, only notebooks introduced since last year are supported. The dv7-2140eg is a much older notebook.

I'll re-post the DigitalPersona and/or Authentec versions of HP SimplePass to the driver threads. Sorry guys, didn't realize that the Egistec version only supported certain sensors.

I own a HP 2560P and to have the brightness keys working in W7, I had to install the "HP Hotkey Support" thing. BTW it also installs an OSD i don't want and even installing only the driver without the software (via device manager manually .inf), the keys don't work. Are there any alternatives instead of this softpaq?

Thanks
