Windows 7 Fingerprint Readers & Biometric Devices

[Tsen]

Okay, so one thing I was psyched for in Windows 7 was better native support for biometric devices. I have a HP tx2000z laptop with an included Authentec AES1610 fingerprint scanner. I installed the latest driver from HP's website, and it's recognized by my computer. Even under Device Manager, it's listed under "Biometric Devices" as AES1610 and properties show that the driver is installed and the device is working, yet when I go to Biometric Devices in the control panel, nothing is listed.

What am I missing? Is it just because the Biometric devices in Windows 7 is still an unfinished feature?

Is it compatible with Windows 7 64bit though as i have a fingerprint reader.
