I use the biometrics fingerprint reader in Windows 7 using an HP nc4400 laptop.

Everything works really well.

From a purely "cool/geek" factor I'd like to see the images of the fingerprint scans. I'm sure I remember with XP and HP's own software it used to show the scan as you logged.

Is there anyway to use the fingerprint reader in windows 7 and see the images as they're scanned?

Don't! Jamie and Adam might see that image and we know what that means: youtube.com/watch?v=MAfAVGES-Yc ;-) (footage 2006) – Arjan Oct 2 '09 at 10:38

This article might contain the answer : "Use Biometric Devices Natively in Windows 7".
It's too long to reproduce here.

-1 This doesn't help at all. If you had actually taken a look at it, you would see that it had nothing to do with the ability to see the fingerprints as they are scanned. – Brandon Wang Oct 3 '09 at 19:55
Not having such a reader I couldn't experiment further, but I believe I could make it work using the hints obtained from the article. Not saying it would be easy, of course. – harrymc Oct 5 '09 at 18:44
