Can I run Skype through FireFox/Mozilla without installing skype on my laptop?

My laptop is running Windows Vista Home premium (SP2) and the Windows Installer has failed thus I am unable to install or un-install applications like skye. As a result I am looking for a way to run skype while I am unable to install it normally. Is there a plugin or other add on that will meet my needs?

It may be a good idea to fix the Windows installer so you won't run into further problems.
To fix the problem first try to re-register the Windows installer service.
To do this:
* Type Windows+R to bring up the run box.
* Open cmd by typing cmd' and press enter
* In cmd type: msiexec /unregister
* Then type msiexec /regserver
* Type exit to exit cmd after that try to run the installer again.
Let us know the results.

    Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
    Thanks so much

    Hi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.

  • How can I run 2 differeny Firefox versions

    I have Win 7 x64 operating system.
    How can I run two different FireFox versions?
    I want to be able to run FF3.6 and FF10
    But it seems its set up the way that I can only install one of them.

    Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Custom+installation+of+Firefox+on+Windows
    Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.
    Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

  • Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

    Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

    Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin?  If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers).  Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

  • How can I get Google through Firefox to stop redirecting my search requests to commercial information providers?

    As a typical example that has been plaguing me for months, I asked on Google for information about "crystal sets" and was shown the usual list of possible sources. When I clicked on the Wikipedia entry for this subject I was redirected to the commercial Tazinga site telling me where I could buy a crystal set in my area. This never happens when I go into Google through Internet Explorer on my desktop, but more than fifty percent of the time does when I go to it through Firefox. Notably, it never happens when I use Google through Firefox on my laptop. What setting or other means can I use to avoid this problem?

    Sounds like search re-direct Malware or a Rootkit on that PC.

  • Can I run Skype simultaneously on my laptop and an...

    * I get better audio communication making Skype calls on my Android phone using a headset.  The same headset I use for ordinary calls and listening to music.
    * The text-messaging interface is better from the laptop
    * Notification that a text message has been received is better from the laptop
    Therefore, I want to simultaneously run Skype on both of them.  I tried and found that it seemed to work for a while, but then the audio conversation began cuting out and in.
    Is this just unsupported?
    I would like to disable the audio (and video) on the laptop Skype - using it only for text messages.
    Pick up or initiate calls from the android Skype.
    Anybody else tried this?

    Note that although Terence is right for the most part, you will find sites out there that claim to give instructions for getting Mac OS X to work on a PC. However, it's important to understand that this can only work if the hardware is very similar to a Mac's hardware, and even then you're going to end up with a crappy, quirky, crash-prone shadow of Mac OS X. (So, not much different than Windows! ) It's really not worth the trouble, and it's a violation of the license anyway.

  • Running forms 6i on client without installed runtime !

    Dear proffesionals, what do you think about code below-we tried to enable our users to run applications developed in Forms 6i, without installed runtime on their machines. Is this solutions good, and why ? We installed forms6i runtime on the server, and make batch script (with code below), and make .exe file from that. Than we send link to users with locations of that .exe file? Is this way possible to run application through VPN ?

    In order to distribute a Forms 6i application to a client you really only have three (3) choices.
    1. Install the Forms Runtime on each PC (truely distributed application).
    2. Deploy the application using desktop virtualization (Citrix, etc). This option requires a Virtualization server.
    3. Web Deployed. (This requires the addition of an Application server and does require some type of installation on the client (the Oracle Jinitiator), but this can be automated with the Web Deployment.) Check out this link [Forms 6i Documenation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/6i_forms.html] and scroll to the bottom and view the "Oracle Forms Developer Release 6i: Deploying Forms Applications to the Web with Oracle Forms Server" document.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I save my current Firefox customization to install on a new Windows 7 installation

    This is not asking for a problem fix.
    How can I save my current Firefox 3.6 customization, toolbar set-up, plug-ins, add-ons, etc. to a file or files so I can install it, pre-customized, after I do a re-format and clean install of a new Windows 7 operating system?
    I am currently in Windows Vista.
    I'm just trying to make it so I don't have to re-customize everything I already have done by doing a fresh installation of Firefox.
    Or can I just save the existing Mozilla Firefox program folder and then drag and drop it into the new programs folder in Windows 7?
    Thanks,
    numetro

    A couple of links that can help with this, [[Backing up your information]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. The second one includes a link to a free utility that can make this easier.
    Just saving the progams folder will not work, the user data is stored elsewhere.

  • Can I have just forms server 9i without installing whole 9ias?

    Greetings to all,
    Can someone help me in this issue.
    1. Can I install only forms server 9i without installing whole 9ias? My objective is to access the oracle forms over the web.
    2. If the answer to the first question is yes, then please someone point out the step i need to take to acheive this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mohsin Siddiqui

    Hi Shay,
    Can you elaborate a little more on how 9iAS integrates with 9iDS. I have 9iDS up and running on win2k, and I'm developing forms there, and they publish to the web just fine.
    But you say for production, we need 9iAS. I have v9.0.2 of 9iAS on a linux box that I want to use. But I can't find a publish directory for forms on the 9iAS box.
    Or anything related to forms, except for a $OH/forms90/server directory with 3 or 4 xml files. I can't find any forms configuration files on the app server machine. That's it on the 9iAS machine, form-wise. Do I need to install 9iDS on the same machine as 9iAS to use 9iAS to run forms?
    If I develop forms on the windows machine, where do I put them on the 9ias app server? I'm new to forms, so please bear with me.
    Thanks

  • Can I view the repertoire for fonts without installing them?

    I want to be able to compare the full repertoire (all the characters) in fonts without installing them in my system. As far as I can tell there is no way to do this in font book. Please let me know if there is a way.
    FYI - The reason I want to do this is that I am trying to compare different versions of the same font with different character support (eg. Latin 1 vs WGL). At the moment I keep having to delete and then reinstall the font, which isn't great.

    Font pilot seems to only show the first 256 characters so that's not useful.
    Font forge = massively painful to install
    Fontlab = $600
    Both have 100 times more features than I actually need.
    When I install the same font as one that is already installed using font book it doesn't create multiple instances. It must over write. It's hard to know what it's doing actually because it behaves in a buggy way, it doesn't seem to refresh the information at first, but if I quit and check again then the character set changes. I can't really trust what I'm looking at.
    I guess I'll probably just persevere with the font forge installation instructions. (why doesn't somebody just package up an installer for it?)

    Hai friends..am new to java , plz help me any one.
    I wrote a small program in java lang. i want to run this program in my friend's system , which is doesnt have java language .. How can i run this program in my friends system with out installing java language?
    one of my friends told that ,it needs to copy the jvm in to ur directory where the java code is present . How can i copy the jvm from where to where ..?plz help me any one

    Your friend will have to install the Java runtime if they want to run Java
    programs.
    Don't go copying files yourself - and especially don't go copying them to the
    location of the Java code. After all, if your friend wants to run 42 different
    Java programs they shouldn't have to have 42 copies of the runtime.
    Just download and run the installer from this site:
    http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
    Be careful to download the "Java Runtime Environment" not the JDK.

  • Can I use OLAP kind of functionality  without installing OLAP ( using materialized views etc)

    Hi,
    Can OLAP cube be implemented without having ORACLE OLAP installed? As per my understanding, cubes are something which keeps aggregate data. So can I just use materialized view functionality ( which is already there in Oracle)?
    Which other Oracle object can I use without  installing ORACLE OLAP ( Dimension etc?)
    Thanks a lot.
    Nitin

    If you mean by implementing an OLAP cube, you mean setting up reports for various summary level data analysis, it is possible to query materialized views to get the same data in some cases.   A position paper that describes the advantages of the OLAP Cube v. among other things standard materialized views may be found at this URL: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/olap/olap-wp-12c-1896136.pdf?ssSourceSiteId=ocomen
    I also would recommend posting this question on the general database forum (General Database Discussions) as well.
    Hope this helps,
