Pointing stick not working (EliteBook 8440p)

Hi.
I just bought a used HP EliteBook 8440p. The laptop seems fine apart from one issue; the pointing stick is not working. The buttons for the pointing stick does work, so does the touchpad and its buttons.
If I open the device manager, I see an unknown device under "Other devices" (I'm not using an english version of Windows, so my translation might be off). If I check its properties, it says "PCI bus 68, device 6, function 2". Might this be the pointing stick? If so, where do I find the correct driver?
I have installed the Synaptics touchpad driver, but this didn't help. The OS is Windows 7 pro, 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
This question was solved.

Never mind. The problem was that the ribbon cable for the pointing stick, had been inserted into the socket on the motherboard slightly askew.

TrackPoint pointing stick not working on brand new ThinkPadE440

I recently purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad E440 from the official lenovo website and received it two days ago. I would like to use the TrackPoint pointing stick but I can't enable it via 'Mouse Properties' in Control Panel as the entire TrackPoint section is faded out (you can't check the box that says enable). Could someone please advise me on how I can enable the trackpoint? Not sure if this is important but the laptop has Windows 8.1 installed.Thank you.

Hi Pbahal,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with Track Point on ThinkPad E440.
I suggest you to uninstall current version of ThinkPad UltraNav driver, and download the latest driver for Windows 8.1 OS from the Lenovo link and install to resolve the issue.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and install Wifi driver and check accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Mouse pointer is not working correctly

I have a MacBook Pro and the pointer is not working correctly. It does not work smoothly and it is hard to get it to go where I need it to go.

Hello billm46,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the trackpad on your MacBook Pro is displaying jumpy behavior. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested steps in the attached article.
Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

I bought my macbook pro this morning. When I turned it on it led me through set up with voice over. I finally quit VO but my pointer is not working. It moves but does not open anything. Can anyone help?

Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

Break Point is not working on Web UI

Hi guys,
i have a problem with Break Points in combination with the Web UI:
After setting a Break Point in a Function Modul or Method and starting and working with the Web UI the Break Point will not reached. So the Debugger does not open. When i activate the Debugging with the Transaction Code SICF the Break Point is working normaly and the Debugger opens. But ater 30 min the Break Point will not work again. After activating the Debugger over SICF again very thing is ok. Thus i have to activate the Debugger with SICF 10 times per day.
Could somebody tell me how to fix this Problem? I would like to activate Debugging permanently.
Thank you very much. And i am sorry for my bad english ^^ I hope you understand my problem. Don't hesitate to ask for a better understanding. If you like to do it, don't hesitate to correct my gramma and spelling xD, because i need better english skills.

Hi,
Try this..
Activate breakpoints for http debugging..go inside component workbench trxn for any bsp component.. And select activate from the menu option debugging.. This will activate http breakpoints and it will stop in get/setter etc.
i believe this is required to do only once when you login to the system..
Hope this helps..
Cheers,

Usb stick not working (solved)

I copied some files to my usb stick and made sure it was working. Then I copied a open office file from my wifes computer running vista. After placing the usb stick back into my computer I got the following message
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")
I went to xsessions and got the following message.
kded: ERROR: mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_709E_ED39: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied - A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

Seeing as the stick worked before I copied a file from vista, did the vista change something in the usb so it will not work in anything but windows? Is there anything I can do?
changed /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto,users 0 0
to /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,users 0 0
and now everything works fine

Three Point Edit not working correctly :(

Hi there,
first of all I'd like to say thank you Adobe for listening to your users. And I hope this one gets noticed right away....:
It appears that 3 point editing ist not working correctly.
Right now I'm editing a video and I heavily rely on 3 point editing.
I have quite a lot XDCAM EX 50i clips which are all in one sequence that is used as source.
Coming from tape workflows I really don't like clicking clip after clip...I need to edit
Now fortunately one can choose to either have a sequence as source edited in nested or as individual tracks. Very nice!
Very bad is that 3 point editing only works when "nested" is activated. Again, very bad!
As soon as I want to use my source sequence with its individual tracks and hit (.) or (,) just nothing happens. Hmpf!
Come on guys, that is essential editing stuff, not fancy speech detection blabla...sorry but this is mega-annoying right now....
It says "Pro" right after "Premiere". So please make it pro! Professionals need ROCK SOLID essential functions.
Make us editors happy having switched from Avid/FCP etc.
Make essential stuff rock solid. That's what makes an app "pro".
Cheers and please mind my harsh words. Just a little upset right now. (I know that's not pro either )

Hi bmfm,
I think I know what's going on. The behavior you describe happens when you try to edit back into your original sequence. Can try making a new sequence to cut your selects into? See the page in help for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/edit-sequences-loaded-source-monitor.html
Thanks,

I'm using Flash Builder 4.7 for a pure flash project (ie, no mxml) & all my graphics objects are in a swc that was exported from an FLA.
I've made some progress with that issue. If I explicitly assign the scale9Grid dimensions in the code, it seems to work:
obj.scale9Grid = new Rectangle(x,y,w,h)
...but having to do that is a real productivity killer. Would be nice to use the 9-slice guide setting in the FLA

Why is my ThinkPad track point scroller not working in Firefox 4?

Earlier with Firefox and all other application worked fine but now its not working on Firefox 4 yet working fine on MS IE and other applications.

Harman Kardon Sound Sticks Not Working

Hi everybody.
I have a Harman Kardon Sound Stick speaker system hooked up to my computer, and although the light is on, it is not working.
When I go into System Preferences and click on Sound, it is not listed.
Can someone please give me a few suggestions for troubleshooting this problem?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi-
The system Preferences will show the output as headphones/built-in audio. You do have the Sound Sticks plugged into the audio port?
On one of the speakers, there are two chrome plates on either side of the port at the bottom of the speaker- one has a plus, one a minus. By touching one, or the other, you can raise, or lower the volume. make sure that you have the volume turned up, by touching the plus.

Tools related to anchor points are not working, can't add a point to paths or convert a point.

Having a lot of issues manipulating points on paths in Illustrator CC - this is a fundamental feature of creating vector graphics and it's very annoying I'm paying for this and it's just not working. Eating up a lot of my time simply because I can't select or convert or add the anchor.

bella,
Presuming we are not just talking about more or less hidden Anchor Points as in View>Show/Hide Edges/Bounding Box, you may try to start on the following list (5) seems unlikely in this case).
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
