Known Issues: |
- A serious bug in
version 7.1.49 prevents updating the software through
"Check for Updates". To update to version 7.1.50 (or later)
from version 7.1.49, click on the link above to download the
LDS View Installer program. When prompted to reinstall the
software, select "Yes".
- HP SimplePass Identity
Protection (by DigitalPersona) comes
on many new HP laptop computers. It allows you to "securely access online accounts and passwords with the swipe of your finger over the fingerprint reader." However, it also interferes
with the proper operation of LDS View (as well as many other
programs, including
Microsoft Office products) on 64-Bit Windows operating systems.
Until HP fixes this, the following workarounds have been found:
A. Uninstall HP SimplePass Identity Protection
through Control Panel (Preferred method)
OR
B. Run LDS View as an administrator (Right click the LDS
View icon -> Select "Run as administrator").
You can modify the properties of the LDS View shortcut to
permanently enable Administrator mode (Right click the LDS
View icon -> Select "Properties" -> Select "Advanced...").
- An error was discovered in
version 7.1.47 where library modules may not install
correctly. If you have noticed this, you will need to
uninstall the program and reinstall using version 7.1.48 or
later.
-
If you use Internet Explorer 9 to download LDS View, you may see the warning message intended to protect users from possible malicious software.
To install LDS View
a. Click on "Actions"
b. Click on "More Options" below the two new options: (a) Don't run this program, and (b) Delete program.
