TROUBLESHOOTING
If a customer replaces the Biopod with another APC Biopod and encounters problems while enrolling fingers, it may be necessary to recalibrate the new Biopod by running the ATDiag.exe utility on the software CD. For information on using this utility, consult the ATDiag.txt file on the software CD. Windows 2000/XP users may experience a problem adding a Windows user to the APC OmniPass database. If this happens, adjust the local security settings:
1.Log into Windows as an administrator.
2.From the Windows Start menu, select Start> Settings> Control Panels> Administrative Tools> Local Security Settings> Security Options.
3.Select Network Access: Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The setting should be Classic - local users authenticate as themselves.
If the fingerprint sensor does not work while logging into Windows XP, try changing the Windows user settings:
1.From the Windows Start menu, select Start> Settings> Control Panels> User Accounts.
2.Select Change the way users log on or off, and make sure that the settings for both the Logon Screen and Fast User Switching options are the same (enabled or disabled).
