[Thinkpad] Fingerprint swipe still prompts for Windows password

I bought a new T60, and created a local user account, configured the fingerprint software and everything worked. A finger swipe logged me in, and no Client Security Solution prompt for my password. I updated the BIOS and joined the machine to the Windows Domain at work, and now, every finger swipe prompts me for a password!  

ThinkPad T60 2623-D6U BIOS v2.14

Client Security Solution Version 7.00.0035.00

ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software Version 5.6.1 Build Number 3419

So far, I've un-enrolled and re-enrolled my fingerprints, tried changing to the security policy to each of these three choices: 

 1. More Secure 
 2.  More Convenient
 3.  Custom: 
         [ ] Protect with a password
         [X] Protect with a fingerprint

     [ ]If fingerprint reader is not connected or not 
        functioning properly, prompt user for Windows 
        password instead.


TIA,
Brian
