Skype 7.6 disabling autorun startup without signing in

With the new 7.6 skype you cannot disable autorun from the install options, you cannot disable autorun from msconfig, you cannot disable autorun unless you log in and disable. As a technician I install Skype on every machine I format, but I have it disabled to keep startup times slow. So now, it's either adding back the feature to disable autorun in the installer, or me not installing it altogether anymore, unless there's a way to disable it that I missed, that *does not involve signing in*.

Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start  and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

  • Skype for my macbook without signing into microsoft?

    I have tried several times to get Skype but always end up having to sign on to microsoft with password etc. Is it possible to avoid mocrosoft sign in? I would loke someone to take me step by step to Skype if poss.

    If you want to stay away from Microsoft's intrusive services check the alternatives. Facetime (if you both have Macs and/or iPhones/iPads) Viber, Whatsapp etc. There are many.

  • How to use LR6 standalone without signing into cc?

    GD this company will not give standalone customers peace and quiet. Shove the creative cloud down our throats whether we want it or not.
    I cannot launch LR6 without being signed into cc. I paid for the stand alone edition. Does anyone know the magic mojo to get the dam thing right?

    I ended here for a slightly different reason (the actual installation - for anyone interested - see below)
    Since I'm here, I can try to give your question, as I understand it, my best shot:
    - To check if your serial number "sticks", i.e. is not in trial or subscription mode: Go to the Help menu - System Info...
       then if the 2nd line in the window that opens reads: "License: Perpetual", that's all you can do, re-installing won't make a difference.
    - In that case, getting that annoying Adobe ID Sign-In message anyway (even if, like me, you don't want to do anything online, sync or otherwise):
       there isn't much else to do but close the window without signing in and confirm to quit - Yes... every bleepin' time you launch LR6
    I have not found a Preference to disable that check, even under the Lightroom mobile tab (which at least, like the Help menu, confirms you're not signed in). Maybe in a future update they'll have an option to disable that check on startup, at least after the first time (but not yet in 6.0.1, the latest one so far)
    Otherwise either cave in and make at least a dummy Adobe ID, or the only other solution: Go back to LR5, unless you need the new functions...
    It's still installed separately on my machine, and I have a pre-LR6 backup of my catalogs,  so I'll play around with it for a couple of days before deciding. It's certainly my last Adobe product.
    Now the reason I ended up here: The INSTALLER actually FORCES you to sign in with Adobe ID even with a VALID SERIAL, which is just plain bovine stuff, and the utterly unhelpful Adobe Chat employee didn't answer my question, pointed me towards Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Serialize Lightroom CC trial to activate as Lightroom 6 (which still expects you to log in, no matter what you try later) and disconnected. Grrrr.
    Here's the work-around for that:
    - DISCONNECT your network connection temporarily (Turn off WiFi, unplug the ethernet cable...)
    - Launch the installer, click on the "I have purchased" half => it will complain there's no internet connection
    - But a "Connect Later" button appears => click on it => get the old serial# screen, enter serial (& if necessary re-connect, then enter prior serial to upgrade )
    - Next screen, Accept Terms, then next screen choose your install options and there you go.
    - You will of course have to get back online to validate the serial within a few days, like before, but at least you skipped the whole Adobe ID Sign-In nonsense, and not deal with the creepy "Starting with this version... share your information with Adobe how you use Lightroom... is turned on by default..."

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection disables autorun during installation

    This is on a completely fresh installation of windows 7 x64.
    Before installing Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection x64 autoplay for my camera works, after installation it does not work.  If I uninstall it, it works again.
    Where is this program disabling autorun for devices.  Autorun for flash drives works fine, its just the non-volume devices that are affected.
    I tried using gpedit and reg keys to re-enable autoplay for the camera but it does not work.
    When I plug my camera in, I can still go to my computer I can get my pics without any issues, its just that this is bugging me.
    Don't think there is an answer out there, guess I just need to not be so OCD with this stuff.
    Thanks for reading!

    From what I can tell, the problem is very much related to the way the 32-bit applications of Bridge, Premier and Elements interact with the 64-bit OS when it comes to autoplaying.  Looking at event viewer logs and what not shows that the autoplay process effectively crashes or locks up when it attempts to initialize with the Adobe applications in the list.
    Anyway, without futher ado, the steps to "correct" the problem.
    NOTE: This will remove the autoplay functionality for Bridge, Premier, or Elements (which didn't work with non-volume devices in x64 anyway).  Also, this requires going into the Windows registry to fix.  If you are not comfortable doing so, then find a techy friend to assist you.
    1.) Open Registry Editor
    2.) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ EventHandlers \
    3.) Right click on EventHandlers, select export, choose a location, and name and save the file.  This will save a backup of the registry keys/values you will be deleting should you want to restore them later.
    4.) You'll have to go key by key, but you'll want to look for values that contain "Bridge", "Premier", or "Elements" (or other Adobe Products) and remove them.
    5.) Now, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ Handlers \
    3.) Right click on Handlers, select export, choose a location, and name and save the file.  This will save a backup of the registry keys/values you will be deleting should you want to restore them later.
    6.) This time you will be deleting any keys (they look like folders) that contain "Bridge", "Premier", or "Elements" (or other Adobe Products) and remove them.
    7.) Close the Registry Editor and reboot.
    You should now find that your Autoplay functions work perfectly with non-volume devices again.
    Hope this helps you all.

    Removed iGlasses and its prefewrence fles
    Changed default speech name to something other than what it was on
    Restarted from an external boot disk and repaired permissions on the hard drive from disk utiility
    Download and install latest verssion of Skype - but didn't open it....
    Restarted again but this time in Safe Mode  (shift + S after the startup chime)
    Then ran Skype, it allowed me to sign in and I let it catch up with all the messages/updates etc....

Connect your Mac to anther via firewire and boot your Mac into target disk mode (hold down the 't' key when booting up. Hopefully your hard drive will show up on the desktop of the other Mac. You can then begin removing files.
    The key thing to do here is find the file that was created to fill up all the remaining space on the drive and delete it.
    This file was created solely so that it could be zeroed over, and it would have been deleted when the zeroing was complete. Because you interrupted the procedure, you're left with this big useless file on the drive, no free space, and OS X is unable to log you in because it can't perform the normal writing of files that it would normally do when you log on.
    Delete this one file - I have no idea what it's called, so do some Goolging - and you'll be able to log in as normal. Sure you're short of space, but there's no need to delete any of your important photos, letters or email. Once you can log in again as normal Google "upgrade MacBook hard-drive" and spend like $50 on the required new disk, cloning across the old (but working) system.

  • How do I disable the startup sound on macbook pro 7,1?

    I need to disable the startup sound on the macbook pro 7,1 running 10.6.8.  If anyone can give me info I would appreciate it.

    Look for Startup Sound on Macupdate.com
    You really shouldn't turn it off, as if there is a error you won't be able to hear the beep codes.
    However you can lower the volume.

  • Is it possible to run a midlet as "trusted" without signing it ?

    Hello everybody!
    I have a frustrating problem. I have made a midlet that suppose to communciate with the Java SIM card using JCRMI. When I run the midlet on the phone I get the following error message "Application not authorized to access the restricted API". Ok, I know why I get this error. My application has to be trusted by the phone in order to get access to the JCRMI API. So, I need to sign the midlet. That would not be any problem either, but my problem is that my phone (Benq-Siemens EF81) does not seem to support installation of own Root-CA certificates. So in order to sign the certificate I would need to buy a certificate from some of the CA:s that are supported by the phone by default. But this is totally STUPID and EXPENSIVE.
    So, my actual question is, is there a way to add a midlet to the trusted domain in the phone without signing the midlet? If I try to run a midlet that wants to use Internet, the phone asks if I want to grant access for the midlet if it is untrusted. But with JCRMI it is different. The phone does not give me any possibility to choose that I trust my own application and want to let it access the SIM card.
    I would be very grateful if someone could help me with my problem

    dear, this is possible in Nokia to save trial certificate in phone and we self signed our midlet for testing. but for Siemens i don't have knowledge whether this is possible or not.........
