Click to Call, prevents previous versions of Skype...

After accepting the prospect of installing click to call, instead of being helpful it just messes up the connection with the exisitng intallation of skype. Any thoughts other than deleting everything and stating again without the annoying click to call....grrrrr!

I'm having similar experiences. I just loaded norton 360 if that matters. Even with it turned off, Skype will not load or or install. A few days befor i downloaded Skype click to call , maybe accidentally w Real, but ti never worked, and it will not Uninstall from my Windows vista! error 7238, and i get a toolbar error when I try to install any version on Skype. I can uninstall any full version of Skype, but the Skype click to call has firmly embedded it self and i can't find it any where to delete it. It's really messed up Internet Explorer, and Mozilla, so that they won't function for Netzero and some other web addresses. Please suggest a way of finding and deleting this Skype click to call malware!

  • Skype Click to Call for Firefox 7 Installation Nig...

    All info as of Oct.08.
    Hi Guys:
      I would like to start by telling you that I'm newbie to this community as not a Skype fan user and haven't used the application since its June version 5.3. I didn't upgrade my Firefox browser on its due time either as rather use Internet Explorer most of the time. All these three are installed on a Windows XP Home SP3 system. 
      Due to some IE7 settings misconfiguration early this week, I decided to use FF6 again while restoring IE to defaults, which means that plugins and toolbars are disabled or uninstalled in the process. After reinstalation and updating Adobe Flash, Java, etc.. noticed that the Skype Toolbar was definetively lost (uninstalled) to IE.
      FF Add-ons Manager was showing the Skype Plugin (still version 5.3) as disabled, not compatible and with no updates available. I then proceeded to upgrade FF to NB7 recently released 27-09, and then applied latest update 7.0.1 released 29-09, but no change to the Skype Plugin upon clicking on update all add-ons and plugins.
      BTW, release notes for this FF update 7.0.1 states: "Fixed a rare issue where some users could find one or more of their add-ons hidden after a Firefox update"... making me more confused and to look deeper into FF support, but with no success. I also tried FF Add-on Compatibility Reporter to no avail.
      Therefore, it was time to go to Skype and as I usually first learn about latest changes, opened on (blogs.skype.com/garage/windows/) first, to find that there were two releases (an update to V5.5.119 (which I did) and an upgrade to a new build 5.6) on the same date (29-09) of FF's update to fix "hidden add-ons" - what a coincidence to add confusion -.
      In both versions' release notes you can read that changes include: "Updated Skype Click to Call browser plugins and the addition of support for Firefox 7"... but no further explanation. Sorry guys but it was at that moment when I learned about that "Click to Call" name (formerly known as Skype Web Toolbars) which totally different from what I was searching for, making me do some more clicks to search and understand the difference between the installers provided.
      I believe (and suggest) that if in that blogpost 29-09 in respect of the 5.5 update, the poster (Raul Liive) would have included a link to the Click to Call support page, it would have been a lot more easier for Firefox users to update their Skype installation, even though, it is not true that Click to Call "is automatically installed in Mozilla Firefox" as suggested in that support page. It only installs in Internet Explorer. In order to also install it in Firefox and/or Chrome, you must download its installer from that page.
      At least this was my experience which could be taken as a quick reference - Installation Troubleshooting Guide (Provided "AS IS" and subject to Mods' approval):
    - Opened Skype 5.3 and clicked on the Updater to get version 5.5.119 installed.
    - Opened IE7 and verified that new Click to Call 5.6.0.8312 was present in my toolbar.
    - Opened FF7 and verified that old Skype Plugin 5.3 did not changed. Tried to update it again from within the application with no results.
    - Opened Control Panel > Add or remove programs, and verified Skype 5.5.119 correctly shown, but Click to Call was not. There it was still showing "Skype Toolbars 5.3.7280".
    - Closed all applications and proceded to remove Skype Toolbars from Control Panel.
    - Restarted the system and opened CP, IE and FF to verify Skype Toolbars successfully removed.
    - Optionally - ran CCleaner.
    - Downloaded Click to Call Installer and ran it to install it in both, IE and FF, which done   successfully.
    - Opened CP to verify it was then showed correctly as "Skype Click to Call 5.6.0.8312".
    - Opened FF to verify it now shows the plugin correctly as above with no imcompatibility 
    warnings. Made a test call successfully. Did same from IE.
    *Notice: Please note that there is actually only one Click to Call installer (v5.6.0.8312) available at Skype.com, no matter what Skype (supported) version or browser (support for IE, FF and/or Chrome only) you are using. Also notice that when you open your browser for the first time after installing CtoC, a new Skype advertising tag will be opened... Don't worry, it will do it just once. A second advertising window will be opened after your Skype app opens when you make a call from your browser... at least it happened on my first test call and don't know if same for further calls (free account).
      Sorry guys - long story - but hope this to be of any assistance to the community.
    Cheers,
    RickCP

    Would also add that after doing the above troubleshooting you find any problem with your Click to Call feature just installed, or simply need to install or activate the plugin to another browser (one of the 3 supported for Windows) you are also using, you can run your Click to Call Installer again to choose between the following options provided:
    Change:
    Lets you change the way features are installed (and on what browser are to be installed).
    Repair:
    Repairs errors in the most recent installation by fixing missing and corrupt files, shortcuts and registry entries.
    Remove:
    Removes Click to Call from your computer.

  • How cal I get Skype click-to-call to install on Firefos 10

    i JUST UPGRADED TO FIREFOX 10. As happens every time i upgrade, Firefox says it cannot install the add-on skype click-to-call. I used to be able to add it using tools, but now skype is not even listed there; something called SIP click-to-call is (beta).
    Can anyone tell me how toget Skype click-to-call to once again work, or else advise me as to whether there are calling charges associated with the SIP feature and also how ewell it works..
    Thanks.

    Add-on compatibility are the responsibility of the Developer. All Add-on Developers are able to update/test their product before any major Firefox release, due to Mozilla releasing a Public Alpha/Beta of Firefox. This doesn't mean all app developers update before a Major release is made, which often prevents compatibility between add-on and browser.
    Skype has announced that they have updated their "Click-To-Call" Add-on for Firefox10
    *[http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2012/01/skype_click_to_call_supports_f_2.html Article: Skype Click-to-Call Update]
    Make sure you have downloaded the most resent release of the Click-to-Call add-on from the Skype website.

  • Skype's Click-to-call crashing & clashing with web...

    Hi,
    I'm working on implementing a WYSIWYG editor to one of my sites. Sadly, Skype's Click-to-call plugin wreaks havoc with it (tested on Chrome).
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Load Chrome with Click-to-call installed.
    2. Go to http://jsfiddle.net/gabito/jnSPf/6/
    3. Starting typing some text in the right window and observe how the browser crashes and the height of the textarea is completely wrong (since node.offsetHeight and node.clientHeight are both being returned as 0).
    4. Disable Click-to-call, reload the same page and watch how it all works nicely.
    The code that's causing the crash with Skype is adding an element to the DOM, measuring it for resize and removing it again. Whilst this isn't the most efficient code, it shouldn't cause the browser to crash like this, and it doesn't unless Skype Click-to-Call is installed. Since Skype is a popular plugin that many users will have installed, this presents a problem for us.

    Hi Claudius,
    Firstly, thanks for the reply.  I too am using Chrome 24 and Skype Click to Call 6.6.
    The crashing doesn't seem to occur every time but happens often enough to be worrying. Basically, try refreshing the page and typing some text into the box on the bottom right window (where the image is placed).
    The other issue which I mentioned - the size of the text box being measured wrong - occurs every time without fail.
    Without Skype: (i.e. how it should look)
    With Skype (height calculated incorrectly):
    This is the message when it crashes:
    To clarify: there are no other extensions enabled when reproducing this error, other than Click-to-Call.

  • Click to Call version 8

    I just updated my Click to Call app from version 7 to version 8. However, when I right click a contact I only see one contact number for them. I don't get to see all of their numbers I have associated them with. Can this be modified somehow so that I can dial whichever number I want?
    For example I have a contact with a business number, a home number, a voip number and all I get to choose from is their business number. Ideas?

    It should give you option to choose which number to dial.  If not, please open a case with Cisco TAC.

  • Mounting previous versions of system image VHDs

    Two quick questions about mounting VHD image files. I have been using Windows 7 Backup on Win7 Ultimate x64 (RTM) to create weekly system images of several disk partitions (Boot, System, Data). Windows 7 Backup creates a set of Virtual Hard Disk files in .vhd format as its output. These vhd files can then be mounted using the Attach VHD feature of Windows Disk Management, and then their contents can be accessed in Windows Explorer. Windows Backup creates incremental images with the previous versions (changed sectors) being stored in VSS shadow copy storage, and the most recent version of the image in the vhd file.
    1. My first question concerns access to the earlier incremental images in the backup set. If I boot the PC to Windows 7 Recovery Environment, any of the incremental image files are available for restoration. But when mounting (attaching) a VHD file from the backup set via Disk Management, only the latest version of the image is available to mount. Is there any way to mount one of the previous incremental versions?
    2. My second question is about mounting a vhd file as read-only. The vhd file of the Data partition will mount either as read/write or as read-only. But the vhd files of the Boot or System partitions can only be mounted as read/write. If mounted as read-only, these volumes display as Not Initialized and are unreadable. Why?

    In case somebody is still looking for an answer to question  1 (like me), I want to share my solution:
    Login as Administrator
    Login as user with administrator rights is not sufficient. If the administrator account is disabled, activate it first (cmd: net user Administrator /active)
    In Explorer navigate to WindowsImageBackup on your backup drive. Right Click on Properties, Tab previous versions. Select the version you want to access and then click the Open button.
    Now Windows Explorer opens the selected version as a network connection („localhost“). Navigate from WindowsImageBackup down to <Your computer name> \ Backup<Date>\ and select the .vhd file in this directory.
    You can open the .vhd file with 7zip now.
    You cannot open it as a virtual disk like normal .vhd files. I guess you can copy the selected version to another place and mount it as virtual disk, but i didn't test it.
    Don’t forget to deactivate the Administrator account after you logged off from Administrator (cmd: net user Administrator /active:no )
    This works on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.

  • Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?

    Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?

    Hey ran
    Sorry to hear you are having probloms
    I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you
    hope this helps

  • Skype Click to call interferes with ClipBoard

    I have found the strange behavior that as soon as Click to call has recognized a phone number (be it in IE or FF) on a webpage, it disables functionality of the clipboard: when trying to copy/paste within an MS Office program, only the text is copied and all the formatting info or the original formula in Excel is not copied anymore.
    For that reason I had to disable and remove Skype CtC (I have version 5.10.0.9560). Problem is solved now, but nice feature of Skype is gone.

    Me too! I thought it was a Google Chrome problem. I even rebuilt my laptop over it and spent a whole day on the phone with Geeksquad! I just uninstalled Click-to-call and now the problem is gone. 
    This is a really big deal, people use copy/paste all the time and expect the formatting to work. I'm telling everybody to uninstall click-to-call and/or don't install it in the first place. I hope somebody gets serious and fixes it. And, Skype will have to acknowledge the problem and tell me it is fixed before I will give click-to-call another shot.
    Not trying to be a jerk - that is just the truth of it.

  • Skype Click to Call Not Working for Landlines and ...

    Hello,
    I am trying to use Skype Click to Call, but it does not seem to be working. I was able to call contacts using callto://CONTACT_NAME, but the second I try to call any mobile or landline number (I.E. - callto://9731234567), it does not work. Skype will come up, but it will not make the call. I am running on:
    Windows XP - 2002 Version
    4 core Pentium processor (1.7 GHz)
    256 MB of RAM
    Google Chrome
    If anyone could provide any insight or ideas, I would really appreciate it. I have already tried a large number of things to fix this issue. Thank you so much for any help!

    Sounds that you have installed a Firefox Beta release and thus are on the beta update channel, see Help > About.<br />
    The Beta update channel receives an update twice a week.
    You need to install the current release to switch the update channel to release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
