Sign in page formatting broken in Latest Skype (Wi...

I am trying to install Skype on my Windows 7 (x64) desktop computer.  Once installed, it opens a small browser window with what appears to be unformatted content.  I can see the sections (login, merge, etc), but clicking on their links (underlined and in a different color - so I assume they're links) does nothing.  There's a username and password box, and filling them out (and hitting enter to submit the form) supposedly logs me in, but leaves the same mess on the screen.  I can never get past this one unformatted HTML page, it seems.
I have tried making IE my default browser, making sure my Logitech Cam is connected, etc.  I've also tried uninstalling and cleaning the registry, rebooting, etc.  If helpful, I have attached a screen capture of the broken Skype login page.
Can someone familiar with this issue offer some words of advice?

Here is what I had to do to get past the Disk IO and bad formatting problem:
Do a full Uninstall using the Program and Features Controll panel.
Delete Click to Call as well
Delete the entire folder in C:/Users/~username~/AppData/Roaming/Skype
I deleted the entire folder. You will loose chat history and such, but that was the price I paid.
Delete the entire folder in C:/ProgramData/Skype   Again, I deleted te entire folder.
Do a clean new install. 
Once I did all this, I was able to get past the Disk IO error. The start-up screen is still formatted wrong, but you can navigate to the user name and password sections, enter them. Once it logs in, the screens are OK again. 
I believe the new 6.10 installer may have a problem. 
Hope this helps someone else.

  • Skype won't start up - freezes on sign in page

    I had the issue of Skype not starting up and freeze on sign in page
    I tried alll the steps listed in other posts on this topic but none of them worked,
    ..but I now have it up and running....
    I deleted anything I could find to do with Skype - User/Library/Preferences/com.skype.skype.plist 
    User/Library/ApplicationSupport/Skype (the whole folder)
    Skype itself from Applications
    Removed iGlasses and its prefewrence fles
    Changed default speech name to something other than what it was on
    Restarted from an external boot disk and repaired permissions on the hard drive from disk utiility
    Download and install latest verssion of Skype - but didn't open it....
    Restarted again but this time in Safe Mode  (shift + S after the startup chime)
    Then ran Skype, it allowed me to sign in and I let it catch up with all the messages/updates etc....
    I then peformed a normal restart and when I opened Skype I was able to login normally..
    Happy Days!!

Connect your Mac to anther via firewire and boot your Mac into target disk mode (hold down the 't' key when booting up. Hopefully your hard drive will show up on the desktop of the other Mac. You can then begin removing files.
    The key thing to do here is find the file that was created to fill up all the remaining space on the drive and delete it.
    This file was created solely so that it could be zeroed over, and it would have been deleted when the zeroing was complete. Because you interrupted the procedure, you're left with this big useless file on the drive, no free space, and OS X is unable to log you in because it can't perform the normal writing of files that it would normally do when you log on.
    Delete this one file - I have no idea what it's called, so do some Goolging - and you'll be able to log in as normal. Sure you're short of space, but there's no need to delete any of your important photos, letters or email. Once you can log in again as normal Google "upgrade MacBook hard-drive" and spend like $50 on the required new disk, cloning across the old (but working) system.

  • White screen on the sign in page of skype

    I have a white screen for the sign in page for skype to sign in and to call and video chat with people. I have uninstalled and reinstalled again and again and it won't work. Can some one please tell me what to do?

    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Users & Groups and click on the user that you want to change and then click on the picture.

  • Have set Yahoo Mail as my mailto yet when I try to "send a link" I get a Yahoo sign in page and am then taken to my inbox. How can I get an email box to send the link?

    I can't get Firefox to send either photos out of Picasa or "send a
    link" using my Yahoo!Mail option. Have set Yahoo as my default
    and have set Yahoo as my mailto using tools/apps. When I
    use "send a link" I am sent to my Yahoo sign in page and it takes
    me to my inbox. How can I get a blank email form to come up?

    Typing in additional text seems to get the job done.  This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
    I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest.  Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.
    Thanks.

  • Ebay sign in page does not have padlock-states only partially encrypted..IE has padlock. Why is ebay's sign in page not secure in Firefox? FF Version 14.0.1

    When signing into ebay, the page starts to load with the green padlock, but when page is fully loaded there is no padlock. I can use Internet Explorer and so to the sign in page and it has the green padlock.
    Why in Firefox is this sign in page not secure? Thanks

    Firefox 18 will have this.
    It currently applies #identity-box[class="unknownIdentity mixedContent"] or #identity-box[class="unknownIdentity mixedActiveContent"], so that part is working, but the icon and UI (notification bar) hasn't been implemented yet.

  • Cannot get messages or FaceTime to allow me to open. When it comes to verify it just keeps returning to sign in page...I am certain that right password is being used

    Cannot get message or FaceTime to open up....when I enter password and key (sign in ) it goes to verify then ask to pick which email then goes to verify and comes right back to sign in page...I am sure password is entered correctly...

    Hello xxtrishy05xx,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To start troubleshooting this issue where you're unable to connect to FaceTime or Messages, I'd like you to please update OS X to 10.10.3.  Once updated, please try to sign in to Messages and FaceTime again.  If the issue persists, please let me know.
    How to update your Mac
    You should back up your Mac before installation. To do this you can use Time Machine.
    Use the Updates pane of the Mac App Store to check for the latest Apple software updates, including this update.
    Other software updates available for your computer might appear, which you should install. Some updates might need to be installed before other updates appear.
    Don't interrupt the installation process once you've started to update your system.
    You might experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means.

    When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected.  It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option.  I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday.  All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word.  I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through. 

    Hello Kathie,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
    Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
    Let me know if this converts fine.
    Hope to hear from you.

  • Why the sign-off page Not Displayed when I do SSO Logout ?

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle SSO 10.1.4.1 and OID 10.1.4.1 and registering our ADF application to participate in the SSO.
    When I call SSO Logout from the web application with this URL :
    http://myserver:port/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout?p_done_url=http://myserver:port/portal/page/portal/myPORTAL
    It just do the Logout "Silently" and then redirect to http://myserver:port/portal/page/portal/myPORTAL.
    Doesn't it should firstly display a page that shows the list of all application that will be logged-Off ?
    Why that sign-off page does not get displayed ?
    Thank you for your help,
    xtanto

    Looking at the product version you mentioned, I assume you are referring to Oracle Access Manager. When you configure a Logout URL, it will just end the session by killing ObSSOCookie and take you to the Logout URL as specified by the Administrator. OOTB, it wont be able to display the list of the applications you will be logged off from. This needs custom development to achieve what you are expecting. First you need to find out what all applications the user is logged in or to what all applications the ObSSOCookie session is passed and then display them on the Logout URL.

  • How to set up Application specific custom ogoff (sign-off) page.

    Hi,
    I'm using OracleAS 10.1.2.2
    Note 333638.1 shows us how do make a custom SSO login page to be application specific. This works.
    Now, I want to do a custom SSO logout (sign-out) page. Using the redirect method described does not seem to work. Please note that in our version 10.1.2.2, there is no default logout.jsp page in the /sso/jsp directory. To deploy a custom logout page, I would need to update the WWSS_LS_CONFIGURATION_INFO$ view.
    I was able to test a custom SSO logout.jsp page sucessfully. However, when I tried using a redirect_logout.jsp to make it application, it no longer works.
    Does anyone know or have any idea on how to deploy an application specific logout page? (i.e. only specific applications uses the custom logout page, otherwise go to the default one).
    Thanks.
    - Kevin

    Well,
    There are 5 choices to choose from on the page. In the description of the choices at the bottom of the page there are 7, and the two additional choices talk about having to first have registered the site with SSO. So...I'm interpreting that as meaning that other 2 possible choices would be displayed if the site is registered with SSO. That, plus the fact that the page which describes how to add the site to SSO seems to think that the SSO choices are displayed in the wizard.
    So, no, there's no "exact launguage" that says what the reason is for the choices not being displayed. Can you point me to some exact language that tells me how to get those choices displayed?
