Skype freezes after fresh windows 7 install on new...

Hello, ever since I freshly installed win 7 on a new ssd, I've had issues with Skype. The program consistently freezes when I'm typing a chat message. On top of this, the people I skype have said that my audio will lag out when I'm talking with them; I've noticed the program being unresponsive at those times.
Anyway, I've gone through the forums trying every solution I could find (e.g. fresh skype install, giving firewall perms, uninstalling messenger plus etc.), and I haven't been able to correct the problem. Sfc scannow has also returned no errors.
I've attached the dxdiag report.
Thanks for any help.
Solved!

Alright, the issue has been finally corrected. Skype no longer crashes randomly at launch, my friends can finally understand what I'm saying, and chat doesn't freeze. 
What I did to correct the issue since the last update:
- reinstall java
- reset ie 11 settings
- moved usb ps3eye cam to different usb port
Apparently my usb port is messed up... which is weird since it was fine before the fresh intall of win 7.
Thanks for the help

  • Time machine freezing after fresh re-install because of recovered corrupt files

    Hi,
    I have a Mid 2009 15" MBP running 10.8.2. Recently, my HDD crashed. And my time machine backup on an external HDD failed to mount (perhaps the backup was also corrupt?). I made an image using Disk Drill just in case and got a new HDD from Apple Support. They put in a new HDD and "recovered" my data. Now, the comp was behaving very very funny, freezing suddenly a few minutes after boot, requiring a hard shud-down and frequent kernel panics. So, I copied some of the important data in my Users folder and did a fresh install of ML on the new HDD. I also got a new external HDD and formatted it propoerly and copied back the files onto the fresh install of ML. At this point, I realised that there were certainly some files there that were corrupt(?) because, the copying back caused hanging a couple of times. Anyway, now the comp works just fine, but as soon as I begin a time machine backup, it completely freezes (just like before requiring a hard shut down), after less than a GB backing up. Please help me.

    Hate to tell you this but the 2009 model MBPs were built, assembled, with a very cheaply made HDD to Logic board cable and your original drive may be fine and the cable is the thing that is failing.
    I suspect this because once a drive fails it is near impossible to get any useful data off it. So if Apple was able to copy your files from the old drive to the new one that drive is probably still OK. And that you are now still having problems with the brand new drive.
    No the problems you are having can not be caused by just having corrupted files store on the drive. The only files that are accessed by the operating system, while booting and running the computer, are those operating system files and whatever programs you are running. even if a program access those corrupted files it would not cause problems with the OS but may crash the program that is opening them.
    As for TM not working that again is a sign that the cable is bad because TM can't copy the files to its backup over that bad cable.

  • Bootcamp 'Glowing' windows logo freeze after gfx driver install

    Bootcamp 'Glowing' windows logo freeze after gfx driver install
    Last week suddenly, after having changed or installed nothing, trying to boot into windows resulted in a frozen glowy window logo 'Starting Windows', which resulted in having to format the windows partition.
    Since then I've found out that I can do everything except install gfx drivers.
    I've installed firefox, all bootcamp drivers except gfx, swtor (doesn't run of course, but installs fine), quicktime, rebooting is fine after all this...
    But as soon as I install any kind of graphics driver and reboot, it freezes at the glowy window logo.
    I have tried;
    The bootcamp included gfx driver
    Windows Update included gfx driver
    Official nVidia latest beta driver
    Official nVidia latest whql driver
    Official nVidia oldest whql driver
    nVidia Cuda driver, both versions
    All give the same result
    I have formatted the entire harddrive and written zeros and made the windows partition in a physically different location to make sure it's not a harddrive issue, no luck.
    I have tried both Windows 7 x86 and x64 with matching drivers, same results.
    Tried booting with no devices attached, no luck.
    This all seems to me like a bust gfx card, were it not that under Lion everything works fine, even gaming (WoW).
    Techtool Pro's test machine shows no errors.
    My machine is a;
    iMac
    24-inch, Early 2008
    Processor  3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Geheugen  4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Videokaart  NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)

    SMC-versie (systeem): 1.30f1

    I am running Lion on a Mac Mini Server wherein I placed a Bootcamp partition and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I've been testing Windows Media Center using a CableCard Tuner installed in a SiliconDust HomeRun box.
    All was well until I received a Windows notification of an NVIDIA driver update. After the update, I now freeze at the same point that you do in the Windows startup splash screen.
    I rolled back the driver using the Windows control panel associated with the device. Still freezes.
    Windows repair does not have a fix. I can't get windows to start in "safe mode" so I can remove the additional apps that NVIDIA installed during the update.
    I'm certain the freeze is associated with the NVIDIA driver.

  • Updating ipod on fresh Windows install without losing data?

    Hey guys.
    I have an 80gb iPod Classic, and my iTunes had about 72gb worth of data in the playlist. Recently I had to reformat my system drive and do a fresh Windows install, and as such my iTunes playlist obviously got wiped. If I readd everything that was on my iPod into the playlist, will iTunes try to wipe my iPod and transfer everything over again, or will it recognize that the files are exactly the same and only copy the new files over that weren't originally on it?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Once the iPod is in manual mode you can add to it without losing any content but you will have to drag it from the library yourself: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    However once you are safely connected you can copy content from the iPod to iTunes. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

    As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
    I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

    Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
    Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
    Did you make a new install or just updated?
    You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
    pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
    if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
    By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
    Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
    Updated kernel.
    And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

  • I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?

    I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?
    Because I cannot update the software until I chose if I want to begin with a new phone setting or download a backup.
    But the backup is of course not compatible with the old iOS.
    So will it be possible to get the new iPhone going, then do the software update to 8.3 and then download / use the data from
    my 4S icloud backup?

    1. Settings > General > Software Update > Update the  to 8.3
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    3. Reactivate phone and follow prompts to restore iCloud (or iTunes) backup.

  • I am not able to restore my iphone 4 after trying to install the new softwear. I tried every single possible way. What can I do?

    I am not able to restore my iphone 4 after trying to install the new softwear. I tried every single possible way. What can I do?

    There are two ways that a backup can become encrypted:
    You chose to encrypt it, then forgot the password.
    If you have company-provided MS Exchange access your IT department has the option of requiring your backup to be encrypted. The first time you backed up or synced after installing MS Exchange you were prompted for a password. That is the password you need.
    If you don't have the password any longer there is no way to restore the backup.

  • Approach for fresh OSX install to new SSD drive with restore from TimeMachine

    I have an early 2010 MacBook Pro with running Mavericks with FileVault 2 encryption.  The drive seems to be failing.  I am not able to boot it up.  I get a "Prohibitory" sign with freezing.  I have attempted various recovery steps:  booting with Command-R, running Disk Utility, attempting to do a full restore from TimeMachine, turning off encryption via terminal/command line with no success.  I am not able to mount the disk volume.  DiskWarrior doesn't seem to support bootable Maverick volumes.  I don't the the existing drive deserves additional time.
    I've purchased a new SSD drive and I plan to do a fresh OS install on that drive, followed by a restore of my most recentTimeMachine backup to that drive.  My backups are not encrypted.  Because the current HDD seems to be toast and is running FileVault 2, installing from scratch and then restoring apps and data seems to be the most realistic approach.
    Can somebody please tell me what the preferred sequence of steps would be to do this?  Particularly the initial OS X install?  Since the new drive will not have a recovery partition, I assume that I cannot do Command-R at boot-time to start the install.  My system has a DVD drive, but I don't have a Mavericks install disk.
    Comments appreciated...

    Restart the computer. At the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. There should be a disk icon for your Time Machine backup drive. Select it and click on the arrow button below it. This will start you into a hidden Recovery HD on your Time Machine backup drive. Select the Disk Utility option and click on the Continue button.
    1. After DU loads select your SSD (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    3. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    5. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    6. Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select the Install OS X option and click on the Continue button.
    7. Be sure to select your SSD as the installation target.

  • Fresh windows install GT780DX

    I've been trying all night to perform a fresh install on windows. So far I have been unable to reinstall because after install it keeps saying is translated to" Cannot configure windows to run on the hardware of this computer" (Kan windows niet configureren om op de hardware van deze computer te worden uitgevoerd.)
    I suspect this has something to do with missing raid drivers seen in earlier topics, but all the raid drivers on the driver pages are for install AFTER completing windows setup.
    Ajy suggestions here since im pretty much stuck with a very expensive paper weight at the moment... 

    legal windows 7 64 bit premium. 
    Have fixed the issue in the meantime. The solution was to install raid drivers at the start of windows 7 setup where you have to select a drive.
    the drivers you need can be found here:

  • *Problems uninstalling itunes/quicktime after using windows install cleanup

    I was having problems installing itunes/quicktime 7.6. Everytime I tried to install it it would say that it does not have a valid digital signiture. So one of the suggestions I saw on this forum was to install windows install cleanup and use it on itunes and quicktime. So I did but all it did is mess up my old itunes/quicktime. Now when I go to try and uninstall itunes and quicktime from the add and remove programs in the control pannel it does not even show itunes or quicktime in my program list. Any suggestions??

    Ok, Update. I was able to remove itunes and quicktime manually after going into my windows task manager and to the processes tab and ended all processes involving itunes, apple, or quicktime. So now when I install itunes/quicktimes via apples site when it gets to the end it just disapears and nothing happens. I searched to see if it installed anything and it didn't, didn't even give me any reasons why. Can anyone help me with this?? It would help me a ton!
