Skype 7.3 freezes mouse.

Everytime I load up skype it freeze my mouse in place, though if I unplug and replug the mouse it moves for a bit then freezes again. While I can't move it if I try it wont, but after a while it moves on it's own. it is really troublesome and I haven't been able to find a solution. While my mouse is doing that I also have another problem where my skype says I have no connection, but everything else loads just fine. though trying to do anything while skype up is a hassle as my mouse doesn't cooperate with me. If there is anyway people can help I would be happy to know.

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.

  • Skype 7.0 FREEZES everytime during startup!

    This is getting frustrating!
    I even reformatted my computer on this issue.
    My Skype 7,0 freezes whenever it starts ups ! Basically, once it freezes i can't do anything except restarting the computer.
    Second, I had kaspersky Total security installed. Not sure if it conflicts . Previously had the older Kaspersky Pure, and Skype freezes too. The reason I'm highlighting this is because when I go into safe mode when av softwares are off, Skype loaded fine. No freeze and crash . I'd been a loyal skype + kaspersky fan for years  and I encounter these recently! 
    Please advise! 
    Thanks!
    Solved!

    Attached is my dxdiag.
    I don't think kaspersky is the problem . Disabled it but problem persists. Freezes at startup.
    However, skype works perfectly in Safe Mode. Thanks
    Please help.

    Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
    Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

  • Macbook pro 13" screen/applications freeze -- mouse continues working

    hi all,
    i saw a few threads similar to mine, but none of them were answered.
    basically, i was using netflix on my macbook pro which is a 13" that i purchased for school back towards the end of july 2010. its version 10.6.3 and i haven't had any problems with it until today.
    It has frozen twice today so far, and the first time I was using photobooth, itunes, and firefox. photobooth was taking pictures and then all of a sudden I went to click the button and it wouldn't select. I thought this was weird because the mouse was still moving. I realized I couldn't click on anything but the webcam was still showing me moving and itunes was still playing the song normally. I did a hard shutdown.
    I started up my laptop again and went to play a movie on netflix (this movie had been open, but was paused when it froze the first time).
    I started playing the movie and when to pause it to take a phone call when I realized that it was frozen again because I couldn't select anything. I did another hard shut down and I've been on the web with it since trying to find an answer to my problem.
    any answers would be super appreciated! and if you know of a thread where this has been answered that would help a lot too! thanks so much

    there is a new development... i don't think its my screen freezing... i think it might be my mouse clicks aren't registering...
    i was on a website just a few seconds ago, and i had highlighted something and as i went to click copy it wouldn't let me. but when i used two fingers it let me right click, and the mouse still moved around. Then i went over to my desk and moved my magic mouse around and low and behold it worked. I clicked a few things with my magic mouse and then thought, "hey i might as well try the trackpad" and for some ungodly reason the trackpad was clicking and working.....
    i have no idea if these two events are related or if this is the reason for my other problem, but is anyone else having this problem?

  • Please help!  my iMac keeps freezing, mouse and keyboard do not work after

    Early this morning I turned on my iMac and started downloading updates through software update as usual. I was browsing a website in Safari when all of a sudden the "zoom" feature activated itself and I could not turn it off. I restarted and the keyboard started typing different characters but not letters, so I took out my installation CD and it took me quite a while to reboot the computer using the CD as a startup. Since the keyboard had a different input, the C key was not running the CD. I tried loggin into the support page, but it downloaded the links into the desktop. I used system utilities to restart the computer from the CD, I verified the Disk Permissions, then Repaired the permisions, then the Verify Disk and then the Repair disk, in that order. I restarted the computer and everything seemed fine, but after a couple of minutes the mouse starts closing windows, downloading website links into the desktop and then the keyboard freezes and does not let me type! This has repeated over and over, and I don't know what to do!
    Posting this message has been quite an achievement, because I have restarted the computer a lot of times in order to finish.
    Someone please help! I don't know what else to do!!!
    Thanks!

    Yes. And since you aren't backed up, you may have to use Prosoft Data Rescue to try to recovery any information that is critical. First though, do you have another Mac you can hook this one up to using Target Disk Mode?
    If you do, that's another way to rescue information. Target Disk Mode is explained here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Similarly, if you have a bootable external hard drive, you can try to boot off that with the Startup manager:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
    To rescue your information. This at least will allow you to do further analysis to see what data corruption might have happened. If the drive is invisible when booted off another, that may indicate a directory issue. But first let's see if we can attach or boot off another and see the internal drive of the machine.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 causes MS Office 2003 to freeze & mouse to malfunction - HELP!

    After installing Acrobat 9.0 Professional on a 64-bit Windows Vista computer running Microsoft Office 2003 the following issues arose (note these issues were solved be uninstalling Acrobat). Does anyone have a fix?
    1. Microsoft Internet Explorer stopped working - program would not launch.
    2. Mouse click disabled - pointer worked but both click buttons disabled.
    3. The following dialogue box opens in word when closing Word - Acrobat was not in use at the time, but it was installed on the machine:
    "Do you want to save the changes to PDFMCustom?"
    The Microsoft Office Program "Word 2003" would freeze at this point.
    We need to run Acrobat on this machine - and unfortunately, we need Explorer and Office too, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I can  suggest to  try  this  one:
    Found that the file, PDFMOutlook.dll, is the culprit for many of your longstanding woes with the toolbar. A common way to eliminate the toolbar is to unregister the dll. This can be done by going to Start > Run and typing the following:
                  regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”
    While this indeed does get rid of the toolbar, it’s not a recommended method as it basically just keeps the file from being loaded when you start Outlook. To  return  the PDFMaker on the  toolbar  I’ll recommend that you re-register the dll file. To  re-register the file, simply go to Start > Run and type the following:
                  regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”

  • Acrobat 9 freezing mouse

    Couple days ago, acrobat popped up when I tried to print a page from the web, and told me it needed to be run again as part of the suite it was installed with.. So I fired up PS.It shut down and didn't print that page.
    Since then anytime I try to print from the web to a PDF, or SOME pages with PDFS, printing will turn the mouse to mollasses. And opening SOME pdfs from the web kill the IE7 browser, and don't open the PDF. I just printed one a few minutes ago. It didn't print what I saw on screen, the meat was missing, but it printed all the ads around the edges. And mouse went into slow motion. Eventually it did close the PDF..
    In my task mnaager, I see 2 instances [different sizes] of acrotray, and acrobast itself.
    Not even one error message, possibly cause I don't have the patience for this to find out it's messing up.
    This happened once before, but the slow motion mouse didn't happen. firing up PS was all it needed to fix.
    Oh the activate on acrobat is grayed out.
    So what do I need to do to fix it this time ?

    Does teh scanner freeze when used with a graphics package or other access?

  • MacPro Freezes - Mouse Functions - Reboot Required

    Need some help. I've been experiencing problems with my pre-2009 Mac Pro for the last 4-6 months. I thought it might have been an OS issue but when I installed the new Snow Leopard, that didnt fix the problem.
    My system after being on for minutes to hours (and not all the time) will freeze. I can still move the wired mouse around the screen but the bluetooth keyboard does not function nor can I click on any program in the dock or file menus. It requires me to force quit the Mac and then takes about 2-3 restarts for the system to turn on properly. Sometimes, even the mouse cursor will freeze.
    Im running a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon on OS 10.6.1. I have 4GB of memory and running an ATI Radeon X1900XT graphics card. I have (2) 500GB & (2) 750GB hard drives installed with plenty of space. Only my main 500GB drive that holds my applications has 20GB of space left but that shouldnt be causing any problems.
    Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

    I have to disagree with your conclusion that HFS+ is happy to have 4% free space, and who knows how fragmented that is.
    Plus, hard drives, and system triple so, don't like or perform well full (more than 70%, ideal is less).
    3 yr old X1900. Do you use 3rd party cooler? clean dust bunnies every 3 months? run the fans @ 800 rpm by default?
    New drive. Zero drive. Clean install OS. Import files once you confirm it works. REPLACE X1900 with ATI 4870. WD Caviar Black 640GB boot drive. Let us know how that feels. And DO use Disk Warrior - preventative maintenance on weekly basis.

  • Airport/freezing/mouse track won't work

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if you could help with my iBook G4. I'm beginning to get seriously annoyed with it. I bought it back in September and it was fine up until recently where it has begun crashing. It tells me that I need to push down the power button to power down. When that happens, I shut it down and then I power it back up again. However, when it does load up, Airport cannot be found/does not exist. When I try to run disk utility, or any other program, it freezes. Not only that but the mouse track will no longer respond.
    I'm bloody well tired of having to restart it over 10 times. I've updated all the necessary software and hardware on here. Maybe this happened when I updated the Airport software. I am running some third party software, but that hardly crashes the laptop. There are times when it won't respond and I just force quit applications.
    I'm really annoyed and I need this laptop to work. I've also found that the build of iBook is loose like it has been altered before being sent to me.
    Any help would be necessary. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It seems you are encountering a . The cause of a kernel panic could be hardware or software. If your AirPort card is not available after a crash like this, that could be a telling sign. Perhaps your AirPort card itself is loose? A loose connection could cause a kernel panic. You might try taking it out and putting it back in to make sure it's secure.
    If that doesn't help, you might visit Dr. Smoke's great FAQ about troubleshooting kernel panics here.

  • Skype for Business freezes on Fullscreen

    Hi, I have 2 office 365 computers running windows 7 i7 8GB RAM Nvidia graphics cards. Latest chipset drivers, fully uptodate graphic drivers. One PC is in Bristol the other in Bath. Im trying to setup Skype for Business between the 2 of them and it is working very well untill I maximise at leased one of them to full screen. Both buildings are connected to the internet via 100/100mb fibrelink. When you put Skype for Business into full screen mode it freezes for about 1-2 mins and then gives you 1 frame change every minute or so. Can anyone help? could skype/microsoft produce a fix and quick?

    We are seeing the same issue, and suspect packet delays on internet to be the culprit.Please post if you were able tto find a solution. thanks

  • MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3 update freezes mouse pointer

    After installing the update released today 5/28 (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3) my mouse pointer stalls, freezes on occasion. Very annoying. Anyone seeing the same. Fixes ... ?

    After applying the SMC Firmware update a few days ago, my keyboard and trackpad were acting erratic (freezing, hanging). It was immediately after the update and I had not had any problems with it before.
    I have also had random crashes, inability to use the keyboard/trackpad ever since.
    Today my keyboard and trackpad are completely unusable, external mouse works fine.
    I will take it to an Apple store tomorrow, hopefully my firmware can be reverted.
    Sounds like a lot of other people are having problems with this update. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9549034&tstart=0#9549034

  • Skype 6.14 freezing

    I am having issues where everytime someome messages me and I don't have a chat window open for them. Skype freezes for about 20 to 30 seconds. it seems to be freezing when trying to load an ad at the top of the chat window. during this time, I can not type and all of skype is says not responding. I have windows 7 64bit. This also starts to cause issues if i am playing games such as diablo 3, World of tanks, starcraft 2 , and league of legends. this causes the Games to lag when this is happening. even if is do not answer the message for a while then go to check it the same things happens. I have AVG free for the A/V and i have tried disabling it before and still having the same issue

  • U/I freezes, mouse moves, keyboard ignored, can still remote login

    Hi...
    Maybe someone has seen this before. I've been stumped for 9 months with this problem.
    Aproximately once a month (or two months), always while using my computer, the whole U/I freezes -- although mouse motion works. All other U/I updates are frozen. The clock freezes, iTunes goes quiet, all dynamic updating of the screen (weather, processor use, etc.) all freezes. Only the mouse pointer moves around.
    Every time I can still ssh into the machine from my laptop !! The load average is near zero. I can run "top" and only top itself is consuming processor time. One time I believe I was able to kill a system process, I thought it was CoreGraphics, and regain control at the console. But I must have forgotten, because this hasn't worked lately. Also, one time I thought that after waiting a long time, the screen recovers. But usually I don't have the patience to wait - so haven't confirmed.
    Typically I do a shutdown -r to restart at this point. Although last night I was randomly killing system processes and ended up being unable to sudo anymore (would just hang after asking for my password.) So I power cycled.
    Being that this happens so infrequently and I can't reproduce at will, I must admit I haven't kept due deligence on what I'm doing. Often it seems I'm launching a program. Last night I was launching EditCSS for the first time. All seemed to freeze instantly the moment it was up. It was at that point I couldn't do anything at the console.
    There is absolutely nothing written into the system log during this time.
    I have run hardware test over the months. All is okay. My RAM is dealer installed. My G5 has been in the shop previously and extensively diagnosed for an overheating processor in the past (the processor was replaced.) So I assume it has been through full hardware diagnosis a couple times. The U/I freezes were happening before this period and after.
    The U/I freezes have also occured through Mac OS X updates. I always am hoping they'll stop after an upgrade, but that hasn't happened.
    I'm always running Deja Vu, Little Snitch, Menu Meters, PowerChute, Adium.
    Any other suggestions, ideas, or experiences others have had?
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Well gentlemen (and ladies, assuming there are some here), to throw another “stumper” into the fire here, I have a late-model 2.3GHz G5 PCI Express Powermac, and I literally have had it running under FULL CPU UTILISATION (distributed.net RC5-72 client) 24x7 since I received it in the fall of last year. It is a refurbished unit, and in January of 2007 I added an ATi Radeon X1900 PCI Express card to it… well, the only time I get these UI freezes (where the only thing responding is the cursor) occurs within UI-related accessing in a game called Tribal Trouble. Specifically, when accessing the options or campaign settings, sometimes everything else locks up (except for the mouse and background music). I have not yet tested with the stock GeFarce 6600 card in it, perhaps I will give that a go. Otherwise, seems to be a common issue with you all.
    Oh, just to be sure—are you who are affected by this problem using the AGP or PCI-Express G5 towers?
