When I click on the program icon, it used open
Okay, so, I have the Sims 3 on my computer and when I click it, it does not open! I tried everything to remove the drive to scan my computer for viruses! I don't really know WHAT to do, so please help!
Hello
1. which version of the Windows operating system is installed on your computer?
2. what happens when you click on the program?
3. do you get any error code or error message?
4. were you able to install the program successfully?
I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Run the fixit from Microsoft Fixit article and if that helps.
Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically:
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/
Method 2:
Open Task Manager and check if the process of sims 3 is running or not. If the programme is to end the process and check if it helps.
Hope the information is useful.

Something went this afternoon and when I started Firefox all my favorites have disappeared. I reinstalled Firefox and recovered my favorites. My bar on the top of the browser's back, and when I click on the bookmark icon, it shows all my favorites. However, if I click on show all bookmarks (ctrl-shift-B), none of my favorites appear. I have attached a screenshot to show what I see, but it seems that there is a corruption somewhere.
It is possible that they are all in a folder or hidden?
I hope that these help solve, please if you make changes to make a backup of the profile as well: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

When I click on the IE icon only a partial page
Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit IE 8
When I click on the IE icon on desktop or in the quick launch area, a tiny partial page appears at the top of the screen and I have to maximize. Do not do this.
This just started happening a few days ago. How can I get this back to where it shows a full page without maximize?
THANX
Hi, more frustrated,
Maybe you closed a small window changed over the past days that would explain this behavior.
Launch IE
Place your cursor on the edge of the window
When you see the arrow double head, left click and drag to your taste
You can do it on the sides, top and down to this than satisfied with resizing
When finished, close IE
New IE launch which should open in the new size
Make sure you close the last larger window because Windows remembers the last of them.

Right-click on the program icon to create the desktop shortcut - nothing happens?
I right click on any program icon to create a shortcut on the desktop and nothing happens. It is as if he has forgotten what to do when you right-click. How can I fix it
Hi Yoliray,
- Since when are you facing this problem?
- You did changes to the computer before this problem started?
However, you can start the computer in safe mode and check if you can create a shortcut on the desktop in safe mode and after return the result. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.
If you can not create a shortcut in your user account, you can start again in safe mode and try to access the built in Administrator account and try to create a shortcut in the administrator account and check if it creates and post back the result.
You can also try to re - register the i the shell32.dll file and check if it helps to create the shortcut. To re-record the file, follow the steps below:
a. Click Start and click Run.
b. in the run box, type the command regsvr32 /i shell32.dll and click Ok.Restart the computer and check if that helps.
I hope this helps. Let us know the result.
Thank you and best regards,

I use windows 8 in a new Dell computer. There are 40 + icons on the desktop and when I click on a desktop icon that it always opens minimize the form. How do I open it to enlarge the form?
Hi, Philippe A.Morrissette,.
Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.
According to the description of the problem, it seems that you try to open the desktop icons to enlarge the form.
Please go ahead and follow the steps mentioned from the link and later a update on the State of the question.
Method 1: No matter what shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".
Method 2: Also try to grab the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use Maximize. First close all other windows via the taskbar and this last one. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.
Please follow these recommended steps and post if you still experience the problem.

When I open a new tab, I used to get a page which had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help of instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking on the gear on a new improved, classic, or blank page icon in a drop-down list. When I click on the train, I don't get this list of options. Instead, a settings page appears, allowing me to make various changes, but improved, classic or white new tab page choices aren't there. What should I do?
To modify the new page tab, please follow these steps:
- Go to
about:config
in Firefox - Locate the
browser.newtab.url
string - Set the value of this string on the URL of your page to the desired tab
This should change the new tab page.
Notes:
- Set the
about:newtab
to get the page of the new classic tab - Set the
about:home
to get the default home page - Set the
about:blank
to get the blank page
- Go to

Hello
When I got to my laptop, I have to click on the battary icon in the status bar, and it would give me an estimate of the time remaining, as well as the percentage. Since then, I had to reinstall windows 8.1 and no longer have the estimated time remaining on battery, just the percentage. I have installed all the latest drivers on the support site and everything works well except that.
I tried all versions of the BIOS available on the support site and reinstalled several times. I also tried running a battery check that came back fine.
Any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thank you.
Hello tm200
Remaining battery life information has been removed from the BIOS F.11.
The time estimator estimated battery basically looking at what you have now and give a time remaining. It was common for playback from 8 hours to 16 hours in a few minutes. This can cause confusion for the customer more that it solves.
The trend of mobile devices intended last day is try not to estimate the battery life. By example, iPhones, iPads, Android phones, tablets, etc all do not try to estimate. They can give an overview of your past use, but they do not attempt the future of the project.
Thank you

It happened when I tried to update c. 16 to 17 as well. I had go it and download v. 18 and he told me that she had and he asked me to restart Firefox. I clicked on the "Restart Firefox" button. He closed Firefox 17. I waited an hour and no Firefox had begun. I clicked on the icon on my desktop for Firefox, and I got a window with "another program is using the file.
The last time that happened, I had to uninstall v. 16, use Opera 12.12 to download version 17 and then installed, to have to set my preferences just a little and then I could start v. 17.
Why update your program allows me to update, instead of downloading a new program?
I'm on Windows XP SP3 and a very fast motherboard.
Finally, I decided to check if my AVG antivirus or IOBit Malware Fighter software is interfering and I disabled them temporarily. I restarted and then turned off these programs and then opens Firefox. It was as usual, 17.0.1 version not updated. I went to help, on Firefox, click Find updates. Downloading updates, invited to restart Firefox, and after closing Firefox, I got the window that says that he was installing the updates, for the first time for an attempt to update to version 17 or 18. He installed the updates and restarted in fact without any problems.
I was about to turn off all of my Add-ons for the next test. I never had to disable my AVG or IOBit before and they are the latest versions, too. AVG is the same version that allowed the update to v. 16 before. If something is different both Firefox 17 and 18, that it will not allow updates with AVG in force (or possibly IOBit Malware Fighter).
