GPS Error on F3507g & Windows 7 "The GPS NMEA COM Port is not available" x200

I have an X200 with a WWAN Card 43R153 (Ericsson F3507g) running Window 7.
The WWAN reliably connects to Vodafone but I can't get the GPS to work.
Device manager shows this port Enabled:-
Ericsson E3507G Mobile Broadband MiniCard GPS Port (Com8)
Driver Invogps.sys from Ericsson AB, Version 1.0.0.28  29/09/2008.
Thinkvantage GPS version 2.50 is also installed and Lenovo System Update says everything is up to date.
When I "Turn on GPS" or run 'Lenovs GPS"  I get this message:-
The GPS NMEA COM port is not available. You need to check the following things.
- Another GPS application is using the COM port.
- COM ports is disabled. You can enable the COM port in the Device Manager.
Location and Other Sensors shows nothing installed.
I've tried deleting all the drivers and reinstalling but not luck.
Has anyone else had the same problem and found a solution. I can't think of anything else to try.
ThinkPad X200 7459-1P0

If you are running a Windows 7 Weather Gadget on your desktop, try shutting it down entirely and see if that changes your GPS "in use" problem.
Cheers,
Bill

  • Pro 9 Users Receive "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

    Users with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Windows XP) are not able to open PDFs created on the server. They receive the error message:
    “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.”
    Even if the users save to disk and try to re-open, the error still occurs.
    This error did not surface in our QA testing because we were testing with Adobe Acrobat Reader 8. What can the difference be? Is there additional information that I can look for in order to troubleshoot this?
    Thank you for looking at my post. Please provide guidance in trying to resolve this issue.

    So, I'm not sure how much this will help but if you save the pdf AHW_Test_05112009xx.pdf and open it in a text editor, and go all the way down to the bottom where the %%EOF marker is, it looks as if the html page is getting appended to the end of the pdf. I recieved the "This file was damaged..." error in Adobe 7.1.0 when trying to open it but if you remove the html at the end, it opens up just fine.
    It appears that whatever's appending the html to the end is causing the issue.
    Below is what the file looks like near the end after the EOF:
    startxref
    400771

    I am running Windows7 on my PVC. When I log in I'm getting two Apple error messages. One says, " The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll." The second says, "Apple Photostreams Uploader has stopped working".  Help!

    Entry point errors can often be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of. If that doesn't help read on...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • Please Help! Error message: Incorrect serial number, The serial number you entered is not valid. Click OK to retry serial number.???

    My old PC crashed and died, and I am unable to deactivate the licence of Photoshop Elements 7.
    I re-installed Photoshop Elements 7 via a trial download from Adobe website onto my new PC, Windows 8.1 single language.
    My serial number is not accepted.
    Error message: 'Incorrect serial number, The serial number you entered is not valid. Click OK to retry serial number'.
    Customer help care is not helpful and keep ending my chat before I get a solution.
    Can someone please help me and let me know how I can rectify this problem!!!

    Thank you Benjamin MItchley.  I reviewed the chat log and I can confirm that they are correct we do not provide installation support for Photoshop Elements 7 due to the age of the software title.  Photoshop Elements 7 also does not support activation so there is no risk that you were unable to deactivate the software on your previous computer.
    I am showing the serial number under your account was provided from an equipment manufacturer.  It is possible there may have been a customized installer for that version.  Have you contacted the computer manufacturer to obtain the installation files for the copy of Photoshop Elements 7 included with your computer?
    Since you did not migrate/transfer over any files it is unlikely there is a software issue preventing the installation.  You can try running the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure that no corrupt licensing files may be preventing the installation process.  You can find details of the use of the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

    When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

    I get nothing but error messages, -
    "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available"  or  the same with:  364? 
    Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
    I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to  give answers to how to fix these errors because when I  "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING!  Yet you give us these stupid error codes
    then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft.  How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
    to do or how to fix it. You need to  add each  error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it.  I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
    So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
    I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
    was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
    Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
    If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
    I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
    For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-or-remove-an-email-account-HA010354414.aspx

  • There was an error opening this document.  The file is damaged and could not be repaired.

    Good Day all
    When busy doing internet banking on www.absa.co.za and I try to print a confirmation, I get the following error message: "C:\Documents and Settings\%user profile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\%folder name%\%file name%.pdf
    Could not open file.
    File not found."
    I've managed to locate the actual file that it's looking for, but when I try and open the file using either Adobe or Foxit Reader, I get the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    I've un-installed Adobe and installed version 9.1 for this particular user. This happened a while ago and then an un-installation and re-installation of Adobe solved the issue. This time, unfortunately, it didn't. I then un-installed Adobe and tried again, UNSUCCESSFULLY. So I loaded Foxit Reader, also without any success.
    If there's anyone out there who could possibly help, please do so... It's extremely urgent.
    Please find the errors attached as well.

  • Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

    Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Exporting PDF files from SSRS 2012 - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"

    Good day
    I have the situation where we are exporting PDF files from reporting services in our website. 
    When dividing the data into sections, the report exports perfectly, but when exporting the entire set and trying to open the file, we get the following error in Adobe Reader:
    "There was an error opening this document.  The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
    We tried to repair the file, no luck.  We tried to use different PDF readers, no luck
    We then checked the file sizes.  When exporting the subsections, each section exports a file of about 2mb. 
    When exporting the entire set, the file is about 1.3mb. 
    Adding all the sections together gives me a rough estimate of 40mb.
    Exporting to TIFF works beautifully and returns a file of 41.5mb. Word and Excel formats also work well, only issue there is the page numbering and formatting.
     The problem we have is the clients are adamant about having it in PDF format.
    Any advice please?

    This was one of the temporary suggestions I gave the client...
    Unfortunately they do not like this as the page numbering and formatting in Word does not appear right.  We are talking about over 1300 pages.  I can't expect them to change the formatting with each export.  Additionally,  the data is
    constantly changing and each client has their own data.  The clients export the reports randomly.  I therefore can't post the reports back onto the server.
    Thanks for the speedy response though

  • My PDFs with form fields get "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." on anothers computer, PC and MAC

    Im creating PDFs through InDesign and using Acrobat Pro 9 to add fields.  I save them to allow ADobe Reader people to use them.  Everything works fine on Pro and Reader on my end with a PC as well as someone elses PC.  But one person using Mac said some forms work and some dont.  Those that dont get the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."  Ive resaved them and made sure they work and same problem.  There is nothing overly coplex about the PDFs either, a date field at the most.  They are using Reader 9.1.
    I found out the other day that one person who can open them adds info to them saves them and send over to that other person and cannot open any of them after they have been edited, same error.  He even tried on a PC and still gets it.
    I dont know what to do.  I know it has to be on his end and not mine.  What else can I suggest to him??

    It sounds like they are using an earlier version of Acrobat or Reader, though you said Reader 9.1. If you add some features in AA9 that are new, it appears that earlier versions see the new features as damaged files. At least that is my guess. Try using Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save to an earlier version and see if that helps. The other option is that you are getting them messed up in e-mail because many client look at PDF files as ascii and do not encrypt them. In that case force the encryption. You can also send them in ZIP form.

  • Adobe pdf problem; the message comes up:- There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.

    Dear all
    I have got  3 mac computers. 2011 13 inch air, 27 inch mac and 2010 pro. latest softwares. all of them have a problem in opening pdf files;esp older files. the error message comes up 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.'
    I have reinstalled reader, checked software updates etc.
    Any help will be appreciated

    It isn't likely to be a problem with the software. You have two different applications which have no interaction between them, neither of which can open the same group of files on three different systems. It's possible that one application has a problem, but not both or that one system has a problem, but not all three. Typically if there were software corruption, it would not show as a failure to open a specific type of file, but in opening and running the application itself.
    I realise that that doesn't really help you since it doesn't resolve the poblem, but I think you need to start with a known-good pdf, preferably one you can download from an internet source, and see whether that opens. If it does, then it would confirm that the software is working properly.
    For a known-good PDF to download, try one of the manuals from the support site here.

  • There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. Error mess

    Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I have an invoicing program that allows me to send an invoice as a PDF to a customer in an email. It always worked fine but for some reason anyone that gets the PDF email attachment gets the message " There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired". I don't know why this is suddenly happening. I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader 10.1 and that didn't help. I also downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat X and that doesn't help either. I can open all PDFs on my drive but for some reason my program seems to have a problem converting or writing the invoice file to a PDF. Anybody able to help? Thank you very much!

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your response, I'll try and answer your questions as best a possible. I am not printing to anything, just emailing and I'm not sure what you mean by "the adobe PDF printer". I originally could not find for sure what acrobat I was using although there is a file in my C drive with acrobat 5.0. When I tried downloading an update I found for that version, it told me it couldnt download the update because the original is not there. I then downloaded the new trial version of acrobat X in the hopes that may work, but it did not change the issue. I believe my invoicing program uses some internal PDF program inbeded in the invoicing program for the emailing option it provides. I did send the email to myself and it is the same as I send to anyone else, it has that error message. The others in my office can open the invoicing program and email the PDF perfectly fine to themselves and to me, it's only when my computer tries to send the invoice through email that we have the problem. I can view the file (invoice) perfectly fine. I do not not how to check this encoding you are referring to. Do these details help you, to help me?? Thank you again for your help.
