  Hello Androidipous,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!

  Scrolling occurs if you double-click the item that you are expanding. If you click on the arrow to the left of the file that you expand the list will stay where it is and lay them down.

  The parchment you see Windows Explorer tries to display the full path to the parent records to existing records, but according to the list of the programs/size of the screen, the result can be that the folder is scroll to the bottom.

  Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

  Salvation of the paths,

  Looks like you are trying to get XP Mode configured, that will install a virtual machine for you to run your legacy programs.  This feature is available in the professional versions, full and Enterprise edition - so your property in this aspect.

  You get this error message because you do not have the chip installed for hardware - assisted virtualization technology and it's good. you don't need more.  Click on this link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx and select your language and edition.  Then scroll down to step 3.  You must download and run the third component called Windows XP Mode Update. This update will remove the requirement that you have the chip mentioned above.

  That should do the trick.

  Hello.  I use Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with os x LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say 'OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014', or if I drag the file directly to the CC, 2014 in the Dock, it will open in CC.  Since I want to double click or hit back in the deck, I constantly have to wait that the file opens in CS6, CS6 abandonment then opens another way to get into Photoshop CC 2014.  I tried to disable CS6 by hiding, but double-clicking Bridge has nothing.  Any ideas why this happens?

• Firefox does not open, and when I try to use the "run", it says that the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can't lose my favorites. Help?

  Firefox has been great to work on my computer for months and then suddenly he could not load pages. So, naturally, I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox does not open. The icon lights for a bit as usual, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the "run" command, I get this error:
  "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it can't be located, the information may have been moved to another location. »
  I also tried the same thing for the file in the x 86 folder, but it gave the same error and I went and looked for the files in the given location and they were there.
  Firefox is not to fall down, so he isn't there an other error message, I can give you.
  The things that I had my favorites are really important, I can not lose those, but I am fine with anything else have to re-installed, etc..
  Help please?

  I've never tried it myself, but the forum has a series of measures for a "clean reinstall" Firefox. Even if you do not delete the record of your personal settings (AKA profile) during this process, a backup of this folder is always a good idea in case something goes wrong.

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  Please report back to see if this helped you!
