    Hey all, as stated, I run an NP2090 on Vista 64 SP1 with 4gigs of ram.
    I believe the application that comes with the fingerprint scanner has a memory leak, yet it did not do this on Vista 32, or on XP.
    Is there any fix to this? This is the version of the app that I got most recently from sager's website.
    Opinions as to what I should do?

    You don't have to run the actual fingerprint software for it to work. Just disable it in msconfig and vista will still be able to use it. It is a known issue with that software and bad memory leaks. Try the search feature in the forums...look for something like '2090 fingerprint software'

    I just end "psqltray.exe" via task manager and restart the process. Nothing huge.
