Skype 7.2 doesn't auto-start with Windows

A week or two ago, Skype stopped auto-starting with Windows. At the same time, I started appearing as offline to my contacts and cannot message any of my contacts. I've uninstalled/re-installed Skype but it hasn't fixed my issue. I suspect this coincided with a Windows Update but I can't be 100% sure of that. I've searched thru Event Viewer but don't find any Skype errors. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how I can get Skype working properly again?

Skype does NOT start with Windows Anymore (start S...

My Skype NO LONGER starts with Windows anymore!!! I HAVE to manually open Skype!!! I cheked the options and "start Skype with Windows" IS checked!!! I tried unchecking the option and rechecking it, made no difference!!! how do I fix??

Just because Skype isn't starting up automatically doesn't mean it isn't trying. Other applications you have loading at startup could be slowing down Skype's ability to start. You can run msconfig ( Start - Run (Wink key + R) - "msconfig". Under the startup tab you can see if Skype is set to start or not. You can also uncheck everything else but Skype and see if it comes up them. If it does, using a process of elimination you should be able to determine the application causing the probelm. If you do not see anything for Skype you can use the registry files provided to toggle that feature on/off just as the Skype program attempts to.

I followed these steps :
edit the "/etc/oratab" file setting the restart flag for each instance to 'Y'.

I plugged IPOD in to sync ( first time in over a year) it auto started with the "Do Not Disconnect", but did not sync. Now the IPOD is stuck in that mode, won't shut off, won't sync, won't work. is there a way to reboot it?

It has already been 6 days from your post, my apology for responding so late, but it is my habit to help only the leftovers, which the other contributors missed.
Toggle the hold switch make sure there is no red showing.
To reboot an iPod. (Or RESET in Apple iPod jargon)
Press Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON , this would not erase any data from your iPod.
I would advice you to leave the iPod charging for about 4 hours, if it has been discharged for 1 year or more, and also Apple recommends that you charge the iPod at least once a month, to prevent a discharged battery leakage, which may corrrode the circuitry in the iPod.
Hopefully you don't get the dreaded RED X on the iPod screen.
Good Luck!

How do I stop iTunes from starting with Windows?

Hi there.
After installing iTunes 7, it launches with Windows despite there being no registry entries or Startup folder entries. I also can't find any preference settings in iTunes to change this. I don't want iTunes starting with Windows as it's a CPU hot and system drag as it is without it slowing down my startup.
What's even more odd I find is that, if for whatever reason iTunes does NOT start with Windows, I don't have an Internet connection. It's strange but the connection between the two is absolute. If I reboot and iTunes starts with Windows, I have my Internet back.
Any suggestions? I can't find anything through searches. I've also checked for viruses, spyware, backdoors, etc.
Thanks.
Custom Windows XP

It turns out it was the Yahoo iTunes plugin.

Remote control not starting with window

Hi there
I have a X-Fi? sound card, with a remote control... I just want it to start with windows, but if I check " Acti'vete the RC when Windows Starts" , I still have to do it manually...
I've already tried to reinstall entertainment center, but it has no longer effects on it.
Do you know what I have to do ?
What kind of registry key should I add to get it automatically ?
Or, at least, what kind of shortcut do i have to put in "start" directory ?
Lots of questions, just problem
P.s. : sorry for my english speaking

I had to go through this process when an iCloud shared photostream would not display on the Apple TV screensaver.
Two easy solutions.
When you press the Menu button, does the Apple TV light blink? If not, go to the Second option below.
If yes, begin with the First option below.
First option:
Reboot Apple TV. Hold down the Menu button and the Down button at the same time until the light blinks, then unplug the device for six seconds, and plug it back in.
After the Apple TV reboots, see if your remote is working. If not, continue to the second option.
Second option:
Un-pair the remote, then re-pair the remote.
To un-pair it, hold down the Menu button and the Left button at the same time until an icon appears on the screen showing a remote with two cloud-like icons. That means the remote is un-paired.
To re-pair the remote - or to pair it with the Apple TV for the first time - hold down the Menu button and the Right button at the same time. It should pair with the Apple TV almost immediately.
Both options have worked for me, when occasional Apple TV issues happen.

What do I need to know to get started with Windows 10?

QuestionWhat do I need to know to get started with Windows 10?
AnswerWindows 10 likely looks familiar in some ways to past Windows users whether they're most familiar with Windows 8, Windows 7, or earlier versions of Windows.
To read about what's new with Windows 10, check the sections below. To learn about Windows 10 and see it in action, you can watch this video:
Desktop and Start menu
When you start your Windows 10 computer, you'll see the desktop. Like in Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows, you'll see the Start button in the lower-left, which opens the Start menu.
The new Start menu combines aspects of Windows 7's Start menu with Windows 8's Start screen. On the left are important links, including Settings, as well as applications you use often. On the right are Modern UI app tiles. The Start menu also contains a button for power as well as a button to expand the Start menu to a full screen view.
Cortana
Next to the Start button is the Cortana search field. Cortana is a personal assistant that can help you find answers, solve issues, and search for files. You can click in the box to typer to her, click the microphone to speak to her, or press the Cortana button on select Toshiba laptops to speak to her.
You can learn more about Cortana here:
How do I use Cortana in Windows 10?
Action Center
The Action Center can be used to view notifications and access settings quickly. Hold the Windows key and press the 'A' key to open the Action Center.
Notifications are shown at the top, and toggles for various settings are located at the bottom.
On touchscreen devices, you can swipe in from the right to open the Action Center. The toggles on the bottom are sized so that you can press them with your thumb easily.

Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

Hi,
I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660-1CN PSC0QE.
Touchpad don't start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
All drivers are updated.
Bios - lastest.
After log on I need to click *twice* "FN+F9" and after this is OK until next reboot.
I tried:
several Synaptics drivers - no change.
reinstall Windows - no change.
Windows XP mini from Hiren - no working.
BIOS defaults - no change
After I installed "toshiba value added package" I can't turn on touchpad at all.

Hi
Did you notice a difference while external USB mouse is connected or disconnected?
The point is that you can disable the touchpad automatically when external USB pointing device (mouse) is connected to the notebook.
This option can be found in +Control panel -> mouse+
In +control panel -> mouse -> last tab (Device settings)+ you can find all other options related to touchpad

DM 6.0 - Start with windows

Is there an option to get the DM6.0 software to start with windows in the background?
I know I can add it to my startup items but then the main window appears when I start windows. I want the software to start in the tray automatically without a window present? Is this possible?
Thanks.

Hey cheetah05,
Currently the only way to have BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0 to start up windows is to add it to the start-up folder.

HT5628 How start with windows 8 automatically using bootcamp?

How i can start with windows 8 using bootcamp?

When booted under MacOS, you can go to the System Preferences and select your "Startup Disk". This will allow you to indicate which partition you want your computer to boot from normally, or on just the reboot that you are initiating at that time. If you have already installed the Boot Camp Utilities under Windows, you can do similar from the tray icon that it loads. If you boot your Mac from teh Recovery Partition, one of the menu options is to specify the Starup Disk. You have many options to choose from.

HelpPane.exe automatically starts with Windows 7 64bit.

HelpPane.exe automatically starts with Windows 7 64bit. I have to start task Manager and disable it or else it keeps popping up. I cant find where to disable this service from startup. Please Help.

Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using
Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you

How to disable Skype auto-start on Windows 8 boot?

Hi
I have a freshly installed Skype ver 7.2 on a freshly installed Windows 8.1 PC.
I did not allowed Skype to start itself on Windows startup. The corresponding option in settings is not checked.
But it starts anyway.
How can I disable Skype on startup?

Hi, I had the same problem recently--trying to disable Skype's automatic start when I first log in to Windows 8.1--and this is what worked for me:
1) Bring up the "Task Manager" window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc all at the same time. (Or press Ctrl + Alt + Del at the same time then choose the "Task Manager" menu link.)
2) Once the "Task Manager" window comes up, you'll see several tabs (Processes, Performance,...Details, Services) just one row below the top drop-down menu bar (File; Options; View).
3) One of those tabs (on my version of Windows 8.1 it's the fourth tab from the left) reads "Start Up"
4) Once you open the "Start Up" tab window, you'll see a list of installed programs that have either been "Enabled" or "Disabled" in terms of booting up when you first turn on your computer.
5) Scroll down until you see "Skype" then highlight it with your cursor. If the line shows that this program is "Enabled" during start up (under the column "status"), then a button on the lower right of the window should read "disable." Click on it and you will see the "status" of Skype change to "Disabled."
The change should take effect for your next reboot. While your there, you can also disable any other (non-essential) programs to help speed up your computer's boot up process. Be careful what you disable, though, as some programs might be necessary for your computer's day-to-day functions!
I hope that helps!
