Windows 7, View fingerprint scans on screen

6

1

I use the biometrics fingerprint reader in Windows 7 using an HP nc4400 laptop.

Everything works really well.

From a purely "cool/geek" factor I'd like to see the images of the fingerprint scans. I'm sure I remember with XP and HP's own software it used to show the scan as you logged.

Is there anyway to use the fingerprint reader in windows 7 and see the images as they're scanned?

What is the fingerprint reader you're using? For what I've seen here your laptop doesn't have one builtin.

@criziot at the top right part of the monitor there is a biometric reader. – Nima G – 2012-06-23T07:51:26.897

@Thomas Shields have you tried the XP driver to see the images as OP mentioned? – avirk – 2012-06-24T18:44:19.920

Don't! Jamie and Adam might see that image and we know what that means: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAfAVGES-Yc ;-) (footage 2006)

What software were you using on Windows XP? – wizlog – 2012-06-29T18:08:18.043

This page details how to see the scans from Linux. You could probably compile the aes2501 utility for Windows and use that, or integrate it into your own application.
