Cannot start skype because your system is unavaila...

I continue to get this message. I have seen numerous other suggestions where it states that you should look for %appdata% and %temp% putting these in the Windows (7) start bar throws up nothing. 
I have done a search for these folders but to no avail. Is there any other way to fix this persistent problem?

Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

    I've done the %appdata% and %temp%/skype fixed. It allows me to log into skype for that session. But if I reboot the problem is right back again. I have no idea how to fix this. I've reinstalled several times and done the %appdata%/%temp% fix several times.

    Please, run the "tasklist" command and post the results here:

  • Exchange 2007 / Outlook 2013 "Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable"

    One of our users is having problems setting replies from Outlook on his local PC.  This is an SBS 2008 Server with Exchange 2007.  The client PC is running Windows 8 with Outlook 2013.  This issue doesn't seem to affect other users but this
    is the only client with Outlook 2013.
    When trying to set an automatic reply from within Outlook 2013 we get the "Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is unavailable".  Outlook seems to be connecting and working fine so connection to the server does
    exist.
    Trying this same operation from owa works without issue.  Please let me know what we need to do to find a solution.
    Thanks so much!

    Problem: 
    IMAP downloads inbox don't work after November patches.
    If you install a fresh OS and O2K13 unpatched ,the IMAP works fine.
    Fully patched O2K10 works fine too.
    It worked for my customer until November patch Tuesday broke the IMAP sync.
    Consultant opened case. 
    Response from Microsoft:
            This is with regards to the issue faced by you due to regression         caused by November security update. This is further to inform         you
    that fix is out and below is the download links for 32 bit         and 64 bit of the office suites. You need to apply all 3 hotfix.         The crash issue and IMAP issue would get resolved
    immediately         while the issue related to Free / Busy and OOF not getting set         would take 24-36 hours to start working once the patch is        
    applied.

  • Outlook 2013: Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable

    When I configure the Outlook profile manually then receive warning "Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable" when clicking "Automatic Replies (Out of Office)".
    However if I use Autodiscover to configure the Outlook profile the above does not occur and "Automatic Replies (Out of Office)" works fine.
    Client: Outlook 2013 Click-to-Run version 15.0.4551.1011 on Windows 7 Pro SP1.
    Server: Exchange 2007 SP3 on Windows SBS 2008 SP2.

    Hi,
    First of all, please make sure you have installed this Outlook 2013 hotfix package (December 10, 2013):
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2825652/en-us
    It may fix the issue.
    If the hotfix doesn't help, please note, this problem can occur after your primary SMTP address changes. The problem occurs because your previous primary SMTP address is cached in the Windows registry under your Outlook profile and this information does
    not get refreshed for 24-48 hours after the SMTP address change.
    So please make sure you have configured smtp address correctly, or, we can find some workarounds from the link below:

  • Moved my library to an external hard drive. Now I get this message when trying to import video: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again.

    I recently moved my iMovie Library and all of its contents to an external hard drive.  I then erased the library and all of its contents from my iMac HD and created a new library.  Now when I try to import video from my DV camera I get this message: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again.  There is no way to set a storage location in Preferences.  I have chosen an Event in the middle drop down box.  But it still will not import.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    My iTunes library is set up the way I said in the top post and works totally fine.
    Yes, and that is the default structure to which I was referring.  iTunes will organize it that way automatically unless people do start changing settings (in which case they should know what they are doing and how iTunes works with library files and media structure.)
    Both ways work, the advantages of mine would be that should iTunes try looking fo a library, it will always be in the default location.
    It makes people think they have to change media location in preferences.  They do not unless they want to relocate media only and leave other things on their internal drive (in which case there is no point in copying library files to the external, and you certainly wouldn't want to then delete them from your internal).
    Downside is that then should someone move their iTunes library to anther computer they need to remember to get those library files on the external hard drive.
    Just copy the whole iTunes folder and it will get the library files to the other drive in one step, along with all the other files.
    Your post has good stuff but it makes a move appear intimidating and look like people have to do a lot of organizing to move the collection.  It also throws in  extra steps (namely altering preference settings) that could cause confusion or even make a mess of things.  If people leave iTunes to default preference settings (which most people do) the move summarizes into a short line:  Copy a folder and hold an extra button the next time you start iTunes.
    Note that the instructions in the link I provided earlier do also include many steps, but those are to ensure that everybody does have it all organized correctly before simply copying the iTunes folder.  In the end it is just a simple action.

  • Why do I get this message when I try to play a song "The license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.

    I downloaded songs from a cd and when I try to play them with windows media player I get this message The license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.
    To download a license, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later.
    To install the latest version of Internet Explorer, see the Windows Update page."

    Did you copy the songs directly from a CD or did you download the files from a website?
    You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.

  • Outlook 2010 "Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is unavailable" error

    Hi,
    We recently introduced a Exchange 2010 server into our Exchange 2003 enviroment but had to stop migrating users over to it after it became appartent that users using Outlook 2010 could not switch on their Out Of Office, getting an "Your automatic reply settings
    cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable" error. However users on the new 2010 can set OOF if they use OWA or Outlook 2003!
    Running the Test E-mail AutoConfiguration shows no errors with the Log tab showing Autodiscover succeeded and the Results tab showing all the correct values, including a OOF URL of
    /Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml">https://<servername>/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml into IE gives a XML file with a 600 error code.
    I have looked at loads of 'solutions' on the Internet but cannot get this working, anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you,
