In Windows 8 on a Microsoft Surface Pro scrolling on the touch screen highlights text instead of scrolling - how doI fix that?

This happens about 90% of the time. Going to the same websites in IE or Chrome that problem doesn't occur. What's wrong with my Firefox settings? And how do I fix this.

I'm afraid I'm not sure whether they will work. They will at least need to have been updated by the add-on developer to work with v26.
There may be other limitations. I know that in early builds only add-ons which use the Addons SDK would work. This is still a development pre-alpha build so you should expect some issues / limitations until it reaches full release. I believe that is expected in December this year.
If you are willing to give it a go I recommend installing it and testing out what is possible. Installing Nightly will not affect your current stable channel install so if you don't like Nightly you can just uninstall it and go back to using Firefox 23.
I hope that helps.

  • Can I install Windows 7 on Microsoft Surface Pro 3?

    Hi,
    I want to install Windows 7 on my Microsoft Surface 3 Pro, I want to know that can I install Windows 7 on MS Surface Pro 3 or if I will install Windows 7 on Surface then what features will not be available in Windows 7 Pro ? What will the issues I will face
    after that? Please advise.
    Regards.

    I'm glad your page mentioned the Hyper-V alternative but wish it would elaborate on the potential deficiencies or necessary workarounds.  E.g. regarding mouse pointer or Pen, I have W10TP installed as a Hyper-V guest in my Surface Pro 2 and a silly
    thing with it is I need to use Mouse Sonar (e.g. press a Ctrl- key) to find out where the pointer is before clicking.  After that it works fine.  Heh.  Right now I'm not having that problem symptom but I can't get on fully to test this recollection
    because I have forgotten its password.   ; }

  • Microsoft Surface Pro 3 or Surface 2??

    Hello,
    I am looking at the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and the Surface 2. 
    I currently work off a Sony Vaio laptop and it is working OK.  I am not intending to replace it (right now); but, would like something that I can work on in another room or take with me.
    Would like some feedback on both please.
    Thanks!

    Microsoft actually has a really neat small test to see which one is best suited to you. Surface Pro 3 was a great addition to the line that added more features to the tablet.
    From a personal standpoint I love how they redesigned the rear hinge to do better with keyboards.
    To be quite honest though as far as "major features" go the major differences are that the Pro 3's have some i7's while the Pro 2 only had i5's all the way. You can get some cheaper Pro 3's that have only i3's.
    The new Pro 3 also has a larger resolution supposedly.
    Personally, if you use the keyboard like in your lap or something a lot that would be the only reason as to get the Pro 3 instead of the 2. For most people the Pro 2 was plenty good. I see Pro 3 sort of like Windows 8.1 it was an upgrade to Windows 8 not a real difference.

  • Is there a work-around to enable Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro ????

    Is there a way to use Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro?
    As I understand the problem  DPP is unable detect the screen resolution of the tablet ( the defauilt res of the tablet
    is 1920 x1080) with a minimum of 1024 x768.
    It would be usful if one could type in your working screen res into at startup if that's the only problem
    ___I've looked at other screen drivers from Intell but I realize if I could install thrm I'de lose the touch functionallity
    Are there any other ideas out there???
    Thanks  artB

    Canon DPP is Canon provided application for desktop/laptop computers and they don't have a version for any tablets as far as I'm aware (not even iOS or Android versions).
    But there are other photo editing programs that would work.  I have an iPad.  While Apple has their own photo software (which isn't going to work on a Windows tablet) Adobe has an app called PS Touch.  
    PS Touch isn't nearly as full featured as Photoshop.  It limits the image resolution (it resizes any images that you import to it so they don't exceed the max resolution) but it does have most of the commonly used adjustments.  So if a person were just trying to get something out, it works in a pinch.
    One other catch is that PS Touch can't deal with RAW images... so it's JPEG only.  But I can import JPEGs off the card into the iPad and then edit them -- not as well as I can if they're on a regular computer, but this is what I'ved when I'm away for a weekend with my camera.

  • Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

    I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it.  I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches.  I created a new file and started sketching.  I Immediately felt like something was wrong.  I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available.  Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point. 
    Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing?  I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen.  I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

    Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
    and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
    I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
    what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
    there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
    also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
    anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
    thanks!

  • Itunes Video Lag on the microsoft surface Pro

    HI,
    I recently purchased a Microsoft surface pro and installed itunes on it to watch all of my store bought series, however i noticed that as soon as i started to watch my purchases the HD content especially would stutter, lag and de sync from the audio playing.
    i was wondering if anyone had similar problems or if anyone knows of a solution
    so far i have tried switching the audio from itunes properties, and it did not work.
    thanks

  • Installing Creative Design Suite Standard on Microsoft Surface Pro 3

    I am trying to install the Creative Design Suite on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 from a DVD (I recently changed computers and need to transfer my programs to the new machine.  From my research assumed the Surface would work well for my needs and allow me to dabble in Illustrator and Photoshop as I learn the programs).  I am using an external optical drive however the single USB port on the Surface does not seem to get enough power to run the full installation.  I can get the installation started and go so far as to put my in my serial number and then it stops working.  At one point I was even given the notice that it appears my software is counterfeit - which it is not.  I legally purchased it and have used the same disk on another machine.  Is there a way to install the software that would allow me to bypass the usb port/optical drive situation?  One solution I read was to use the disk to transfer the program files to another machine, put them on a jump drive and then run installation on the surface through that - but I don't think I can do that with the serial number situation.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Ideas? 
    -I know the smart thing to do would be to upgrade to the cloud, however at this time I am not proficient enough in the programs that I want to pay $20-30 a month for the programs I am trying to learn.  The disk software I currently own is for CS6 and was purchased just before Adobe started using the cloud feature for their programs.

  • Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and Access

    Currently, we are using a handheld unit to collect process data from our line which is then uploaded into our Quality Access database via ODBC link.  we are upgrading computers and plan to change this handheld to a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
    Question:  What would be easiest method to link or upload process data on the Surface Pro to our existing Access quality database.
    1.  Put a local copy of our database on the tablet then export to the database or use an append query?

    Hi plottster,
    Since this question is related to Access database and Cross-platform migration usually need software rebuild for compatibility, our help might be limited.
    we suggest you refer to office TechNet forum for more advices because if you have question about Access database on Microsoft platform, you might get more helpful information there

  • The touch screen on my nearly brand new Pavillion lap top running windows 8 no longer works.

    The touch screen on my nearly brand new Pavillion lap top running windows 8 no longer works.  Cant use calibration tools as there's no response to touch.  No option in control panal to turn on or off touch capability.  I have no computer background so cant really get to technical.  Is something simple turned on or off located in some mysterious place?  F key or something?   Bad machine?  Thanks for any input.  Sarah

    I found the driver at the above link.  I installed the driver, disabled my graphics card and rebooted.  The touchscreen worked.  Then I enabled the graphics card.  So far so good.  Hope I dont have to do this routine too often.
    Good luck with it.

  • LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP Touch screen totally blank

    Hi I have a Laserjet Pro 200 color MFP 276n which was working fine on friday - printing via a USB and photocopying using the screen. I've come to use it this morning and the printer has nothing on the touch screen and nothing around the screen. I get a brief red cross in the bottom right when I turn the printer on but that's it. 
    But to make it worse the computer says that it can't connect to the printer to try and trouble shoot. I've tried 3 different USB ports on the computer and nothing happens.
    I've tried disconnecting the printer from the computer and trying to do a reset as per other issues I've found say to press where the arrow is on the right when turning the printer on - nothing happens. I've also tried pressing on the bottom left of the screen when turning it on - no difference.
    Does anyone have any other idea's please.
    Many Thanks

    Hi @wenddh, 
    I see by your post that there is no display on the printer. I can help you with this.
    Make sure there is no damage on the power cord and that it is connected directly to a wall outlet.
    The printer shouldn't be exposed to any electric or magnetic field.
    Try another outlet in another room, just to rule that out.
    I have provided a document for display or power issues.
    The Printer Will Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button or Power Switch is Pressed.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Laserjet Pro 200 color m251nw touch screen

    The touch screen does not work except for teh keys outside of the touchscreen area.  The printer prints
    OK, but I need to change the IP address and cannot get the touch screen to work.  It displays fine.

    Thanks for replying back from the PM sjlocknar.
    Make sure there is no damage on the power cord and that it is connected directly to a wall outlet.

    Try another power cord, you can use  a monitor power cord to test it. Just to rule that out.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 30-60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw Drivers.
    Is the printer still in warranty?
    If the issue persists, then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP Worldwide.
