Vostro 3550 Digital Persona Fingerprint Reader software incompatible with Windows 8
I just downloaded the newly released Windows 8 iso and ran the compatibility test. All of the hardware is supported in some manner although there is mention of getting new drivers from Dell. However, the fingerprint reader is listed as incompatible with Windows 8. I went to Digital Persona's home page and they no longer support consumer products. Bottom line is, I bout a machine from Dell that's less than 2 years old and is loaded with a piece of software that is no longer supported by the vendor. Does anyone have any suggestions on alternative software that will allow the fingerprint reader to function with Windows 8?
Thanks,
Jon

Hi!
I have this problem on my Vostro 3560, could you send me this zip file without using speedy.sh (using dl.free.fr or any other link where I will not have to register and pay to download the file)?
It would help me so much because I'm searching for this for days.
Bye,
Ludo

That will get you the updated driver for Windows 8
This will get you the fingerprint application en.community.dell.com/.../20008614.aspx. Works for me!

Hi mate,
Thank you. Your solution works well on WIndows 8 (64).
Just install Validy Drivers and this software.
PS: Please host at another place, speedshare is requiring Premium to download.
Vostro 3540 - Brazil
