Precision M4400 Owner's Lounge

Well, this driver seems to have solved the latency issues on my M4400.

Hey everyone,

thanks for sharing all your findings! helped me a lot!

I have one issue with my M4400 though:
My fingerprint reader doesn't work anymore. - probably due to the (emberassing) deletion of a certain registry entry...

In
computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

there were 5 entries for executibles in the "wave systems corp." directory. I deleted one, so these four are left:

C:\Program Files\Wave Systems Corp\Common\ChangeTPMAuth.exe /T:NTRU12
C:\Program Files\Wave Systems Corp\EMBASSY Security Setup\EMBASSYSecurityCheck.exe
C:\Program Files\Wave Systems Corp\SecureUpgrade.exe
C:\Program Files\Wave Systems Corp\Services Manager\Docmgr\bin\WavXDocMgr.exe


It would be a great help if someone could look up the missing entry in his registry.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Anyone else tried this yet? From reading the notes it seems rather unlikely that this would fix the latency issue:

NOT FOR TYPICAL NOTEBOOK SYSTEMS, THIS DRIVER IS SPECIFICALLY FOR IMPROVED CATIA PERFORMANCE

Catia seems to be a specific 3D application they have made some optimizations for ... seems to me it might be more just that re-installing the video driver helped? Who knows ... I've seen so many different explanations about this that I'm prepared to believe anything

 

no change here with new drivers, still same problem+workaround

 

Hi amazing raid 0,1 on M4400

@aekpone

NICE....i'll have to get me that caddy too
Would love to have a 500gb expansion!!

 

I made a lot of experiments, if someone is interested in the results:

I could not solve the problem, but at least the system is most of time quite if an external monitor is attached.

I also have a caddy, I tested it with my Mtron, but for productive use, I wait for the Vertex SSD.

 

I've noticed something peculiar with this new video driver. There is an Nvidia icon present in my taskbar that wasn't there before.

When I hover my mouse over it the info "bubble" pops up saying "Nvidia Settings." However, I can not get it to trigger any application or control panel. Right clicking, double clicking, etc., yields no response.

Anyone else have this icon, and, if so, does it do anything for you? Is it supposed to be a link to the Nvidia control panel? Anyone else have the same situation as me?

I uninstalled the driver, used Driver Sweeper to clean out all Nvidia remnants and registey entries, just in case by NOT uninstalling the previous version before this first installation it left behind something to get in the way. Then I reinstalled and found no change.

Thanks.

 

Unfortunately, the M4400 won't support RAID0 as the post above says. The Intel Options ROM will load at boot if disk mode is IRRT, but the chipset of the M4400's SATA Controller is the ICH9M-E/M, which is simply an AHCI controller, not RAID. According to the Intel Matrix storage manager, this will not support RAID sets. beyond a recovery disc.

 

No Nvidia Icon for me with the new driver however on the older driver I had that once however I have no idea what triggered it. After a restart it went away.
