• Highlight the files, done Windows double job with them to the same folder. Huh?

  So often, when I copy files, I note several if I do not quickly, Windows (XP 64-bit) is suddenly double job with them in the same folder.  Usually when I'm using the control button and clicking several with my mouse.  Is this a bug?  Not sure who in their right mind would want this feature.  How can I get rid of this constant irritation?

  Hello 2vsllsk,

  Thanks for the reply.  If you select multiple files, then right-click to copy, are you able to duplicate this issue?  You use a mouse or a touchpad for laptop computer?

  Please let us know status.

• Monitors-windows double jumps between monitors

  The selected window jumps to monitor 1 (left) when I press number 1 on top of the keyboard only and jump to monitor 2 (right) when I press the number 2 on the top of the keyboard only. How to disable this option? It is a newly imaged PC and no other users have this problem. There is no additional software other than the intel video drivers mod I disabled the shortcut keys. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

  If it occurs only for your user profile, I would say that something is running while you are connected to is not running when others are connected (make sense?)

  So, my first thought would be to look at the processes running or MSCONFIG to see that load when you connect, that is not loading when they do.  Or maybe just create a new profile.

• License Windows OR pirated Windows double?

  This question is directly from Microsoft India,

  Why should I use copy of license of Windows 8 (Rs.9800), if pirated copies are available for only Rs.500 market.
  What are advantages & disadvantages, please let me know?
  I want to know better good/bad things of the technique after the use of license or duplicate.
  Waiting for response...

  The reason is simple, copies pirated from any Microsoft operating system are illegal and you can be sued, your operating system may be unusable at any time, and chances are good that pirated software will contain malware. Microsoft sued over 3,000 cases of piracy last year. Add to all this, it's not worth. With the help of illegal copies of any software is no different to Rob a bank.   Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  The above opinion is mine and mine nothing and does not necessarily reflect that of Microsoft, it's employees, or any other Member of this forum.

• 17.0.1 Firefox (and its windows install app) completely freezes the system (win7 x 64)

  Hello

  When I tried this morning to start Firefox 17.0.1 on my computer, everything stopped working. In fact, he worked for 0.1 dry and then hung for 10 seconds somehow I managed to open the Task Manager and tried to complete the process (tree), but the firefox process would not die. Hard drive did a very monotonous thing all the time, so I thought that the material may be responsible. I rebooted and uninstalled the old firefox (I use the system normally begin at the moment that I start ff), rebooted to chkdsk and Defrag the disk. (During the uninstallation, I also removed the personal preferences). When I tried to install it again (I'm a webdev and I NEED firebug) application of installation exact same thing with the same monotonous hard drive operation. It occurred just after that I pressed the first button below and before step 2 text was displayed in the window (it was empty with back, next and disabled Finish button).

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

  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 Exit in the file menu or Firefox) and confirm all future messages.
  3. Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the article to Uninstall Firefox .

  IMPORTANT: Under Windows, the uninstall program has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you have not check this option. If not all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, customizations and other Firefox data user profile will be removed from your computer.

  After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the folder of the program "Mozilla Firefox", located by default in one of the following locations:

  • (Windows 32-bit) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  • (On 64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
  1. Go to the Windows Start menu and click on 'computer '.
  2. In the Explorer window that opens, double-click on disk Local (c) to open the C:\ drive.
  3. Find the folder "Program Files (x 86)" or "Program Files".
     • On 32-bit Windows, double-click the Program Files folder to open it.
     • On 64-bit Windows, you'll see a folder "Program Files (x 86)" AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the Program Files (x 86) folder.
  4. You are looking for a folder of Mozilla Firefox . If you find one, right click and select delete and confirm that you want to move the folder to the trash.

  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.

I also noticed that my help to download the video no longer appears in the navigation bar, or on the Tools menu, even if he says he did when I look at the options Add on. Not sure if this is related.

  Hi torobull,

  Looks like you may have a virus.

  If a virus infects a computer, it often blocks the ability of the computer to run antivirus programs or causes these ineffective programs. Follow these steps to control and eradicate any viruses:
  1.	If you do not have an installed antivirus program, you can use the Windows Live safety scanner, or install an another antivirus scanner. You will need to do this before you follow the next step.
  2.	Restart your computer in safe mode. For more information, see start your computer in safe mode .
  3.	Scan your computer for viruses. Go online and read Live OneCare Safety Scanner"" href = "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=143630" > how to install the free Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner

  For more information.

  Notes Scanning your computer can take time, and your computer may appear to be frozen or inactive. Allow scanning completed successfully before you continue. Each antivirus program scans and removes viruses differently. Review of your anti-virus help or documentation for specific instructions.

  Once you've scanned and removed any viruses, restart your computer.
