SKYPE BEING SLOW SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

So I've had skype for a long time now. I have had it on more than one computer. I'm running it on my coustom built Windows 8 (64 bit) gaming PC. It has worked flawlsy and smooth until recently. I was skyping with my buddies earier today and it worked fine. I stoped skyping for like 2 hours but didnt close the program. I started to play a steam game which I have done with skype open before and this time when i exited the game I tried to use skype. It was being super slow or "laggy" and I could barely make calls. Now its being slow and Ive tryed reinstalling it and running it as and Admin. Please help this is really agrovating!
Some specs that may help...
1)Windows 8 64 bit NOT windows 8.1
2)I have Classic shell...It puts a start menu on windows 8 computers with out windows 8.1
3)Coustom built PC - Processor AMD 8320 - GPU Radeon HD 7850 - PSU 750 Watt bronze - 8 gigs of RAM

Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the previous 6.9.0.106 version using this msi-installer:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi
After installing this version, make sure to disable the Automatic updates:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatic updates ->Turn off automatic updates

  • Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance

    You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
    So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
    You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
    Here's the link for the US.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it.

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY
    CTRL + X = CUT
    CTRL + V = PASTE

  • Macbook pro 2010...cursor is acting crazy jumping everywhere and responding very slow...thought it was the track pad but I plugged in a mouse and it still does the same thing...is this a virus?..and can someone please help?...

    My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?

    It is not a virus.  See my Mac Virus Guide*.
    As to what it might be, that's hard to say.  You should try some basic troubleshooting...  Repair the hard drive with disk utility.  Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
    Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems.  Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

  • My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV.  Can someone please help me with a solution?  Thanks.

      First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes.  I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook. 
      Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from.  But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
      Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad).  It does not show up on my Apple TV as well.  If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
      I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me.  I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad.  I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this?  Your consideration is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • So lately my ipad has been syncing my mom's music. I go on to itunes to make sure those albums have not been selected under my ipad and they AREN'T. Someone please help! How do I other music from syncing to my ipad?

    My whole family shares the same MacBook and itunes library.
    For awhile my ipad has been syncing other peoples music to my ipad, and when I check on itunes these albums aren't even selected.
    Someone please help me!!!! How do I stop the unselected music from being synced to my ipad? (and for specific music, my ipad won't let me delete some music right from my music app)

    My wife, daughter and I all shared one iTunes library on one Mac and synced 6 different devices and never had problems selecting exactly what we want to sync to each device.
    Even though you do not have these particular songs or bums selected to sync, do you have "Sync only checked songs and Videos" in the Summary Tab of iTune? If you don't have that option selected, makes sure that you so check it before you sync again.
    You should be able to swipe across songs in the songs tab of the music app - Swiping from Right to Left - and that will bring up the Red Delete Button. You cannot delete entire albums but holding down on the icon to bring up the X on the album icon. That doesn't work in iOS. 7.
    If you are seeing songs in the Music app with the cloud icon on the right hand side, those songs are not on your iPad but are in iCloud and can be downloaded if you want to do so. If you do not want to see those songs, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Show All>Music>Off.

    I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

    Hi!
    I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.

  • SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! My applets won't work.

    I have tried everything that has been suggested. I'm running out of hope.
    I set my environment variables, implemented the codebase tag in my html, compiled with -target1.1 and enabled the JIT for VM in Internet Explorer's Internet Options. I even downloaded the Java Plug-in. Nothing is working. No matter if the applet is an Applet or a JApplet.
    Every time i open an html file with an applet the page loads but the applet does nothing. When i mouseover the gray applet box i get a message in my browser's status bar reading "load: class myClass not found". Not even the example applets that came with the JDK1.4 i downloaded work. They all display that same message when i mouseover the gray box.
    They all do however work when i use the command prompt appletviewer.
    Is something wrong with my browser? If i view someone's on-line applets they work fine.
    As long as the applet's class file and html is not on my system or i view them throught the command prompt they work fine. Otherwise i get the status message "load: class myClass not found"
    Is something maybe wrong with my environment variables that i don't know about?
    I'm running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.
    I also have a copy of Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 installed on my machine. Is this maybe causing conflicts?
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
    Chance

    I did a search using these (include the quotes): "load: class XXXX not found" and "load: class" "not found" and got quite a few hits. Everyone agrees that the problem is that Java can't find the applet file <appletName>.class and the problems fall into 2 types:
    (1) The applet requires a Java 1.2+ feature in your program and your browser is usings its default runtime, which is 1.1 based
    (2)The CODE attribute specifies the wrong name, the class name is saved with the wrong case, the class file is located in the wrong directory, or some similar typo.
    I Suggest that you double check that the JavaPlugin is activated (open it in Control Panel) and that the BROWSER tab shows that it is in use by IE. Then make sure that neither the HTML or applet files reference any directories - ie, just file names are being used, not directory paths. Everything should be in the same directory. Proof read everything in the HTML and applet files for spelling, UC/LC match, etc.
    Here are a few of the items I found:

    The last post in that forum said a few things.
    1.Restart computer
    2.Disable anti-virus/security programs
    3.Update hardware and software drivers.(I'm guessing mainly the cd-rom drive drivers)
    Try those things and see if it is still a problem.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
