I'm using Vista RC1 5600. The drivers for Microsoft Fingerprint Reader are
missing:

Device type: Other devices
Manufacturer: Unknown
Location: Port_#0002.Hub_#0005

Device Status
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
To reinstall the drivers for this device. click Reinstall Driver.

When you try to reinstall a driver for this device none are found.

Bruce;
And I am not sure there will ever be drivers for the current readers.

Also, do not forget the Microsoft Fingerprint reader is only a convenience
item and not intended for any type of security.

If your using "Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer with Fingerprint reader" this
will be address at a later date with Intellipoint 6.1

To me this sounds like "we are not planning to support our products", and
"they don't really work anyhow". I am one of those that bought the Microsoft
fingerprint reader. Another customer.

When I asked MS support, they answered that the required software would be
available in RTM.

The Beta for DigitalPersona 2.0 seems to work just fine. I now have my
fingerprint reader back.
