This consumer app is a separate entity from the sensor and its driver. DigitalPersona, OTOH, is (or was) HP's supplier of the consumer-level app that handles logon dialogs, website passwords, etc in Win. Validity Sensor is the supplier of the USB sensor, that is, the physical device in HP laptops and its driver. What you see in your Device Manager has zero relevance to this thread, because DM handles physical devices and their drivers, not consumer-level apps that users deal with day-to-day (like DigitalPersona discussed here). Just wanted to alert you ahead of time just incase you end up having blamed HP for something they had no control over, and then indeed installed a bio-reader that's perfectly fine from a company that's responsible.īillFinkNC, you seem to be quite confused. I installed IE9, and it's been working fine, without a hitch. DigitalPersona sending out an Email with: "Uh.we're not supporting this any more, and that's that!" is bogus! In my scenario, HP went out and found another vendor, that's a kudos if you ask me. and it may very well work fine (The sensor from Validity Sensors, Inc bio-reader) with Firefox 4. Make sure you don't have the DigitalPersona - like me, you may the HP-DM4 with a bio-sensor from Validity Sensors, Inc.
DigitalPersona are the clowns in this scenario, if you ask me. I purchased this laptop a couple of weeks ago and have been noting but extremely satisfied.Ĭan't possibly expect to know ahead of time if a company is, at the last minute after getting their paycheck from HP, going to stop supporting it. HP isn't selling the DM4's with Digital Persona, according to my device manager - it's now supported by: Validity Sensors, Inc.
