Skype 7.0 stops working once I send a PNG file

I am using Windows XP in my office. When I send a PNG picture file to a friend, the Skype 7.0 FREEZES immediately and also slows down my computer greatly. I read posts that suggest to upgrade the IE to 11.0. But I feel sorry to say, using Windows XP is our company's decision, not mine. Could you give another solution that can help Windows XP's users?
Please don't force me to use the new version when it still has bug(s)! I use Skype everyday at work. I cannot accept a Skype which force me to restart my computer everytime.
And by the way, the Skype 7.0 deleted the function of showing contact's local time. This function is quite necessary for international business. Why do you remove it??
Solved!

Please forgive me if I disagree with your analysis. In my own case, at least, the "freeze" causes a never-ending resource check on my hard drive (the activity light is on solidly) that will not stop unless I use the Task Manager to end the program entirely. I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times, rebooted five times, cleaned the Registry, and confirmed that Skype 7.0.0.102 is fully functional until one attempts to send or receive a file of any kind. Returning to (click on) the conversation where the file is attempting to be transferred locks up the system again.
I am attempting to find a good installer for a previous version of Skype. I realize that I am offending the Gods of Technology by continuing to use an outdated OS, but I've no income for two years and have to limp along with what I've got. ^___^
Hi,
After some hours trying to solve the same exact problem you described I found a solution that certainly worked for me:
I just deleted the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Application Data\Skype\<skype_user_name>\media_messaging and restart Skype.
In my case, the problem appeared after sending a screenshot to a contact. Then, when opening the conversation window from that person the whole Skype stopped working. I didn't had problems by opening conversation windows from other contacts.
I hope this helps for other people

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

HT201287 Once a day my messages stops working, I cannot send or receive messages and all of my messages disappear. I have to restart my iPhone 6 for it to start working again. This doesn't happen on my iPad Air. Is this happening to anyone else?

messages app continues to crash. All messaging stops working and all of my message threads disappear. the only thing that has seemed to work is restarting my phone. Happens at least once a day.

Hi Alo816,
I'm sorry to hear you are having such extensive issues with Messages on your iPhone. If you continue having issues sending or receiving Messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you continue to have issues with Messages after that troubleshooting, especially if it is still having or crashing, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data. You may find this article useful:

Outlook 2013 - MS Outlook has stopped working... (sending Email)

Hi everyone, this one is extremely frustrating and hoping you can help.
My colleague has Outlook 2013 running on Win7 Pro. There are two different mail account, both Exchange server.
Everything works fine except Sending mail. Every time we attempt to send an Email Outlook crashes with the following error:
"Microsoft Outlook has stopped working... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I say every time, but it has occasionally sent Email. Never more than once after starting up Outlook and most often, never.
The accounts work for using OWM. The accounts work fine configured identically on a different PC.
Tried Safe Mode. No help
Uninstalled all AV software. No help
Ran Office Repair (both Quick and Full). No help
Short of completely uninstalling Office, re-installing and recreating the profile from scratch (which I would like to avoid) I'm not sure what else to try!
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hi,
In case there's a corruption in your Outlook Data File, please try to repair the data file(.pst or .ost) and check the result:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227
If you have setup two different Exchange Accounts in one Profile, please try to remove one from the profile, create a new profile to setup the account.

Check if the issue persists with two different Profiles.

Email stopped working--can't send or receive

My email stopped working yesterday. I had tried to send a large file --ppt.-- and it sat in the outbox and wouldn't transmit, so I deleted it. Since then I can't send or receive email. My wireless system is OK; I'm on Firefox now. How can I fix email? My O.S. is Leopard 10.6.7, laptop is MacBook Pro.

My email stopped working. When I upgraded to IOS6 on a 4s. Well, nothing changed but the os, and I finally figured out that when you put in your user name, you have to put in the @yourprovider.com
When they wrote the code they forgot to add the little piece of code that would translate and transmit your user name with the @provider.com.
Once I changed it to [email protected] it immediatley started working

Why does the hdmi sound out stop working once I start using eyetv?

I upgraded to Lion and now I have a few problems. I use the Elgato EyeTV to record television on my Mac Mini. I have been using it for a few years. Now once I watch something on my EyeTV the hdmi sound output stops working and I have to reboot to be able to hear audio from iTunes or anything other then EyeTV. Why is this happening and when will there be an update to fix it?

There were numerous audio issues with OSX 10.6.8 that
were carried over into Lion and not resolved. Issues
with EyeTV was just one of them. May want to check
the Snow Leopard forum for workarounds, if any for your case.

Skype 7.7 stops working after a few hours

After a few hours maybe 6 hours or so, skype will not let me get on calls. If I try to get on a call skype immediately stops working. I am using Windows 10 and I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but that has not worked.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

HT1391 Purchased an App now it has stopped working and not in my purchaes file

Hi, I purchased an App (not expensive one = DOFMaster) Since then my computer crashed and I had to re-install the OS, the App has stopped working on my iPod and now is longer showing in the purchased part of iTunes, if I go to the store it asks me to purchase again.
What can I do?
I have looked through the iTunes complicated site to find an answer but am at a dead end.
Can I or how do I contact Apple to re-send what I have already paid for?
Many Thanks for any help
Russ

Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

Illustrator CS6 Stops working in Windows 7 when Opening file or Starting new project

Just installed CS6 (legal copy with serial number) on Windows 7 (64bit) computer. Photoshop seems to work fine. Illustrator opens, but when I try to open an existing file or start a new file windows says the program has stopped working. I've already removed every Adobe product I could find on the computer and reinstalled. I also tried deleting the AppsData\Roaming\Adobe\AdobeIllustrator\en_US folder.

Try checking for permissions on these folders one by one: C:\Users\Current_User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
Permissions on above folders should be R & W.
If these settings are fine then check for permissions on these folders at location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx\Presets\
Adobe Illustrator CSx
Presets
Permissions on above folders should atleast be 'Read' or 'Read & Write' both.
This might help. Since, it works for you using different user account then it is definitely a user permissions issue.

Adressbook dialing with skype to phone stopped working

For a long time I could use macbook pro adressbook to call directly from there to external phone numbers. Since a few days kype had a problem, it did ring once, but never got a connection. Now it works again, but I cannot call from the adressbook.
Interestingly, Skype support did write me, you cannot call from the mac adressbook, but the funkction is definitely there (and worked) as there is the drop down menu, with the buttons: enlarge, call with skype, send sms with skype.
Any one can help me on this?

Whatever it is you used to do with Skype it ain't there anymore as per the Skype support information. Complain to them.

Login Hook stops working once I've changed the username

Hello. I need to change the usernames for a number of local accounts on a 10.5.8 mac. The accounts were set up by someone else who is no longer working at this education insitution and hasn't left any documentation. Currently when each user logs on, a script runs that does the following
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# iMac logon script
# get our user
theUser=$1
# get the users home directory
#theUsersHome=$HOME
# Copy the dock plist file for the user
cp /Library/Scripts/GHS/Docks/${theUser}/com.apple.dock.plist /Users/${theUser}/Library/Preferences
# Create a ScreenCaptures folder on the desktop, give it permissions and redirect the screen captures
# Unlock the Desktop folder first in case it is locked
sudo chflags nouchg /Users/${theUser}/Desktop
mkdir /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/ScreenCaptures
sudo chown ${theUser}:staff /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/ScreenCaptures
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/ScreenCaptures
# Create a VideoWork folder on the Desktop and give it permissions
# Unlock the Desktop folder first in case it is locked
sudo chflags nouchg /Users/${theUser}/Desktop
# Remove the old Video Work folder in case it exists
rmdir /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/Video\ Work
mkdir /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/VideoWork
sudo chown ${theUser}:staff /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/VideoWork
# Lock the Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music and Pictures folders
sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Desktop
sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Documents
sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Movies
sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Music
sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Pictures
However, once I change the users account name, the script doesn't seem to run correctly as the screen captures fail due to not having write permission in the intended destination.
I rename the UserName the ShortName, the HomeDirectory and the folder here /Library/Scripts/GHS/Docks/UserName
The idea is, once I've updated this one mac with all the new accounts, I will then duplicate the image across all the others that we have
I'm very new to this and I'm not sure how much of this works
Thank you very much for any help and I apologise if I've missed out any essential information.

Skype 7.0 stops working immediately after starting...

If it's crashing in Safe Mode and only worked with much older versions then the issue mayb be related to your IE browser. The newer versions of Skype rely on elements of IE to function. I would suggest you perform the following maintenance.
Reset IE settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Clear IE temp files:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/delete-temporary-internet-files
Download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash for IE (currently 16):
http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/live/install_flashplayer16x32ax_mssd_aaa_aih.exe
Download and install the latest version of IE (if not already installed):*
http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/A/2/3A2B7E95-24EF-44F6-A092-C9CF4D1878D0/IE11-Windows6.1.ex...
*It does not have to be your default browser, but it should be installed.

Fox tab stopped working once adobe flash player 11 was installed on my mac OS X 10.6.8 it is just a black screen. If I uninstall, fox tab shows up and says I need to down load adobe again

When I double click on the tool bar on the bottom of the black screen on fox tab, adobe settings shows up. I delete adobe then the black screen shows the fox tab again and says to view it I need to down load the latest version of adobe flash player.

Tylerdowner, as a moderator, one would think that, prior to adjusting comments/solutions, especially when not having a Mac, you would do more research (bet you know someone with a Mac, to duplicate problem), or pass responding on to a moderator who does have a Mac (I am amazed that you are even a moderator on Mac problems/situations, if you only have access to a PC). Had the solutions above worked, I would not have needed to figure out another solution (we all know the newest release of anything is the most secure). Finally I am open to any fixes (tested) that you can provide, that improve upon mine. As a moderator, maybe you have pull with the Foxtab and/or Adobe people to get them to work out compatibility, and lastly, maybe add a warning at the Foxtab add-ons page, after verifying the problem yourself, with an associate's/friend's Mac.
