Inland external usp mouse malfunctio​ning when used with HP Pavilion dv6-2155dx laptop.

I have a external usb mouse I have been using with my HP laptop for over two years now and it has always worked without a problem. This week it suddenly stopped working properly. Often it does not work when I click on it even after several tries. Due to disability with hands it is too hard to use the pointer on the pad on my laptop. I need to use a mouse.
I am not sure if it is a bug from a recent software update or an issue with my snyaptics program (which is what I suspect).  I am older and my computer knowledge is not so good anymore.
What can I do to diagnose to see where the problem is. I cannot afford to take my laptop in for service right now.
Thanks

Hi Richard61,
Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand that your mouse is not working properly.  Here is a document onTroubleshooting Mouse Problems (Windows 7, Vista, XP).  Have you tried a different usb mouse?  Have you tried it in a different USB port?
It is not the synaptics program as that has to do with Touchpads, not the mouse.  If you believe it was an update, you may be able to do a system restore back to when it was working correctly.  You could try running  MS Fix It to help resolve issues and look for updates. You should also run the HP Support Assistant  to aid with updates and resolve issues.  Please let me know how it turns out.

  • I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    Do not worry about it.
    Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
    You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

  • Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM (and other apps) - Both applications freeze and never come back...

    We are trying to use test runner with dynamics CRM.
    MS Dynamics CRM will freeze and will not respond (even after 10 - 15 minutes). When this happens, the test manager will either freeze or a message will apear saying "waiting for application under test".
    We are not recording action recordings...This makes using test manager impossible. It happens consistently, starting with slowing the PC down (mouse moving slowly, slow to load in new screens, drop downs etc) eventually leading to the app freezing.
    Tried on windows xp, windows 7 etc on various specs of pcs.

    I am experiencing this same issue with
    Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM. I notice this was first posted in June of 2010 and so far no
    resolution? I was wondering if it could be related to memory issues? Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? The
    issue for me seems to be sporadic and I can't
    reproduce it every time.
    The message I get is "waiting on application under test".

  • TA27020 i purchased a wireless mouse and keypad to use with my mac, and i have not used it for sometime and now my mac indicates no bluetooth capabilities

    I own a wireless mouse and keyboard to use with my macbook pro, i put them away for a while and decided to use them again today, however the mac is acting as though it does not have bluetooth capabilities.  I know it did, how can i fix this!  thanks

    Thanks for your reply, The thing is that Bluetooth is no longer there to be turned on, it's gone.  The only thing I see on my desktop menu bar next to time machine is a bluetooth icon, when i click on it i get bluetooth not available. Ive tried several suggestions such smc reset and nothing, Im trying to reinstall mountain lion but i dont think it will help since this is a hardware issue, any suggestions, please!

  • I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time  Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on  what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and  how to configure that disk

    I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
    Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
    what other
    external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
    how to configure that disk.
    A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
    Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
    Machine is not backing up my files
    on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
    is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
    the Fusion virtual machine.

    If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
    You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas  series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
    Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
    TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
    You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

    Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
    Get MacScan...
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/networking_security/macscan.html
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/
    But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
    Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

  • ExecuteNonQuery doesnt return number of rows affected when used with PL/SQL

    ExecuteNonQuery doesn't return number of rows affected when used with PL/SQL but returns -1. The documentation says ExecuteNonQuery method of OracleCommand returns the number of raws affected but when used with PL/SQL, it returns -1 even the update statement successfully executes and affects multiple records with no exeptions thrown.
    However, if ExecuteNonQuery is used with update sql statement in the asp.net code it returns number of rows affected correctly. Does anybody know why ExecuteNonQuery behaves like this?
    I am using ODP.NET that comes with Oracle Client 11g. The version is 2.111.6.20 of ODP.NET, Oracle database server is 10g.
    Marat

    You can get the rowcount in the stored procedure via SQL%ROWCOUNT and then pass it out as a parameter.
    For example:
    SQL> create or replace procedure updatesal(v_deptno in number, v_rowsaff out number) as
      2  begin
      3  update emp set sal = sal * 5 where deptno = v_deptno;
      4  v_rowsaff := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
      5  end;
      6  /
    Procedure created.Cheers

  • Using smart previews on iMac to control two sets of identical original files on two external drives --- render previews setting when using smart previews

    I’m just getting started with Lightroom and if someone can help me I’ll be very appreciative.
    I’m using an iMac with a 1TB drive and two external 2.5 TB drives for backup.  My active files are on all three drives and I’m running out of room on the iMac drive.
    With the smart previews capability of Lightroom 5, I’m hoping to remove all the active files from the iMac drive.  I hope to import existing images into the LR catalog from two identical drives with identical folders and have both sets of images reflect the changes I make using smart previews on my iMac.
    I just created two identical test folders of junk images on the external drives and was following a beginners tutorial on importing. However, I see nothing about using smart previews on my iMac that, when connected, will update more than one external drive at the same time.
    I’m also wondering if, when using smart previews, it matters how I set the render previews during the import process.
    Many thanks for any help,
    Karl Hentz

    I don't see any way to use smart previews to update both external drives at the same time. The smart previews are linked to a specific set of images. But it seems to me that if both drives are in fact identical, once the catalog is updated when one of those drives is connected those changes should also apply to the files on the other drive. It's actually the catalog that gets updated, not the images.  Smart previews and regular import previews are completely unrelated. How you have your import previews configured will have no effect on your smart previews.
    Incidentally, in order for my suggestion to work it would be necessary to only have one of those external drives connected. And when the other EHD is connected it would have to have the same drive letter or name. In other words it would have to appear to the iMac that it is precisely the same drive.

  • Time Machine fails to backup HD and stalls computer when backing up to external HD (Western Digital WD5000MT) when using Firewire 800 but works fine using USB

    I have a mid 2012 MBP (MacbookPro9,1) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I start a Time Machine backup to an external Western Digital HD (WD5000MT) connected using a Firewire 800 cable, my open programs stop responding and in general my computer freezes up not allowing me to open activity monitor or the console utility.  I can't even shut down or restart my computer and must hard boot to reset.  Though removing the firewire cable that goes to the external HD can sometimes get my system working again.  However, the WD external HD also has a usb port and when I connect it to my computer via a USB cable, Time Machine seems to backup my system fine without stalling my computer.  This same external HD worked fine with Firewire 800 using my old late 2007 MBP running snow leopard.  I should note that my brother has the exact same model WD external HD and he also had issues with the firewire port on his MBP running mountain lion.  I have run the disk utility checking for disk/file permission errors and the drive itself seems fine.  I initially formatted that drive as ExFAT but while troubleshooting reformatted to HFS+ and still had the same issue.  I tested using a different firewire 800 cable but still had the same issue.  Can't think of anything else to do.  I don't have another firewire-compatible device to test if it is the HD vs the firewire port.   I would prefer to use the firewire port for quicker transfer speeds but I'm stuck with USB for now.  Any suggestions?

  • HT3964 noisey dvd drive when using with macbook pro retina?

    I bought a new macbook pro retina 15" and used the apple external dvd drive to watch a movie and the drive was extremely loud and vibratory - to thr point of nearly not able to hear the movie. I then tried the same drive with the the same dvd with a macbook air and it did not have this issue. Anyone know how to solve the sound issue when using the dvd drive with a macbook pro retina 15"?  Thank you.

    Thank you - it is the DVD driver I purchased over a year ago with a Mac book air - I wondered whether they have since updated the DVD driver and therefore wondered about compatibility. I also wondered whether it had to do with the fact that I was on battery power when this happened any further thoughts appreciated.

  • I believe 3GS stereo jack damaged vehicle when used with cassette adapter

    I believe the 3GS damaged my automobile stereo through some sort of short in the headphone jack that is related to voice control. I've noticed other threads about headphones and voice control causing strange behaviors on the iPhone 3GS. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem with a cassette adapter as well. Here is my experience. First, I've owned both a 2G and a 3G prior to my 3GS. That is over 2 years experience with the iPhone platform prior to the issue. During that time I've used the same cassette adapter to output iTunes music to my car stereo system (same vehicle with original stereo during entire time as well…) - which is the OEM stereo that GM installs, as I own a 2K4 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. I’ve had zero issues with the 2G and 3G. Then, the first morning I go out to the truck with the 3GS and plug it in, there is a pop that comes out of the speakers, voice control comes on, then the phone locks up and has to be hard reset. I later notice that one of the backlight bulbs in the stereo is now blown (darkening half the display) and the vehicle speedometer is malfunctioning. The speedo issue might seem surprising, but given how GM wires everything back the stereo system for Onstar monitoring, while I don't know for sure, I assume the stereo received some sort of short from the 3GS and then passed that along to the electronics which control the instruments. The analog GM instrument cluster displays (such as speed) are all managed by electronics that drive small servos that actually move the needles.
    Anyhow, again, I feel it was the 3GS that caused this damage - as I'd been using other iPhone products for 2+ years and had no prior problems. Immediately after pluggin the 3GS in the first time the problem occurred. I think the voice control activating intermittently is a symptom of the problem. 8-9 times out of 10, when I plug the cassette adapter into the 3GS, voice control automatically starts, yet not all of the time. I am still using the same cassette adapter, but now plug it into the iPhone before it is inserted into stereo. While I’ve had no other issues with my stereo or instruments, I’m also very careful about not plugging the cassette adapter into the iPhone while the adapter is in the cassette player. I will also note that I'm on 2nd 3GS phone after an exchange for an unrelated issue and the new phone still intermittently activates voice control when the cassette adapter is plugged in. The issue also occurs with a 2nd cassette adapter (of different manufacture) which I use with a stereo in my home. In my mind, there something definitely wrong with the headphone jack on the 3GS and I believe it damaged my vehicle. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
    -Calvin
