Thanks for the tip, but I need the WLAN application to get my asus-based machine to function as a wireless access point. Vista doesn’t seem to have SoftAP built in. Thoughts?

Hi Evan,

It’s nice to hear that the fingerprint login works for you.

However i can’t say why it doesn’t work with the screensaver promt, Unfortunally i recoverd my windows XP installation, and don;t have vista running on my R2H at this time.

My dad, stil has vista on his R2H, so i will take a look at his vista and try to find your problem and off course a solution

I will try to give the solution as soon as posible, unless someone else beats me

thanks!… I managed to get the Security Manager working a little - but only for booting up, not when the screensaver kicks in.

There are 2 accounts - one is mine, with the windows logo I selected (chess piece, jet, etc). the second account is ASUS securtity with some icon I’ve never seen. After booting-up, I just ignore these, swipe my finger, and it finds me and I’m in.

However, I also have the computer to “prompt for password” after the screen saver kicks in. There are also 2 accounts here and when I swipe my finger, it recognizes me, the fingerprint reader shows the green check, so it does pick it up… however right after that it gives some error message saying that that account isn’t valid or something… I’m at work now and don’t remember exactly what happens, but will get you more detail when I get home.

@ Evan,

The resolution switching i dind’nt get to work under vista, but the fingerprint did work.

I just installed the Security protect manager, and swcured my windows account with a password, and registered my fingerprints on the protect manager.
Then the protect manager wizzard asked me if i wanted to use it to log onto windows, and i selected yes.

Then when you rebot your R2h, you see two accounts in de vista login screen, dont click annyone of them, instead just whipe your finger over the censor.

If everything is correct, You will see the fingerprint icon fide in on the top reight side. Then if your finger is reconized Vista should logon your account.

If this doesn’t work, let me know, what went wrong.

I’m having trouble with the following things after getting Vista up and running:

1) Asus Security Protect Manager (the finger-print scanner)

2) The button on the right [...] opens up, but the option to change resolution is not available.

can anyone help? I re-installed all the drivers from the Asus disk, but still no luck with the fingerprint thing or the resolution changes… it did get wifi to work, though

Thanks for the tips,

It works great. Saturday i tried an upgrade from XP tablet to vista and that also worked, but the system was slower with 1.2GB ram that a fresh install of vista.

Than i copied the System32 dir to a removeble drive, and installed the driver from there after a clean vista installation.

But your way is the simpelest and cleanest way, Thanks for your help.

Thanks
Patrick
