    hi, i just got my sager 2090 today and its pretty awesome. The only problem I have with it is the fingerprint scanner software. the memory usage of the process fingerprint scanner driver doesn't stop growing.

    At first I didn't know what the problem was, because my laptop was lagging like crazy. Then i opened the task manager and found that the process for the fingerprint scanner, psqltray.exe, had grown to over 1500MB! when i terminated it, everything went back to normal.

    I find that this happens almost everytime after I restart the computer. I would think that updating the drivers would solve this, but i haven't really looked that hard because I i've been trying out other things :). Anyways, anyone else have this problem?

    just bad drivers i guess.


    And anyone know how to hide unused icons in the icon tray? Ive gone to taskbar properties and checked "hide inactive icons," but it doesn't seem to do anything. Its not that big of a problem but its slightly annoying having to look at 10 icons in your system tray.

    I have this problem too on my c90s.

    Bloody kaky software. Its annoying cos I just got used to using it and it was very helpful but uninstalling now cos it is not worth 1gb of memory usage!! EVIL!!

    If there is a fix for this please let us know - I want it back but memory friendly.
