Skype crashes. Can't end Skype.exe. Access is Deni...

Lately I've been encountering this problem where Skype crashes and does not let me end the process. I'll try to include as much detail as I can. When the crash occurs, it isn't really announced. You can verify the crash has occurred by simply trying to change your status to Online, Away, Do Not Disturb, etc. If you go to change your status and nothing happens, then I know this crash that I'm referring to has indeed happened. You can close Skype normally. It will close, however, the process Skype.exe won't remove from the RAM. I'm on Windows 8, and if you go to Details on my Task Manager, you can see the process is still active. The RAM usage is not fluxuating, it's as if it's stuck. If you try to end the process once, nothing happens. If you try to end it a second time or more, you'll receive a message that says "Skype.exe cannot be terminated. Access is Denied." I'm not the only one with this problem. I've read that others have encountered it, too.
The only way I can make it so I can use Skype again is to restart my computer because it's effectively the only way to clear my cache (that I know of). The occurring nature of this problem is sporadic. I tried to pinpoint it, but I just can't. Sometimes it happens when my Internet goes out. I reset my router, and when I reconnect, Skype becomes unresponsive. It doesn't only happen when I reconnect from an Internet disconnection. Sometimes it just happens without any change that I know of. I can go days without the problem occurring. Some days, the problem happens in periods that require me to restart multiple times to get it to work. Most people tell me to just use the Windows 8 version of Skype to avoid these issues, but Windows 8 lacks some of the ease of access that the Desktop version of Skype has that I've grown accustomed to as well as the ability to change the volume in my volume mixer. I'd have trouble with either version, honestly. Please respond when you can, any help and solutions will be much appreciated.
Also, I want to note that if I I try to end the process when this crash has not occurred, it does end successfully. This problem, for me, is exclusive to this crash.

I'm having the same problem
Since Microsoft take over skype I've never been able to run skype without problems. It seems that everytime they upgrade skype, this problem comes again.
The worse part is, skype crashes, can't kill process (even with procexp, and whatever solution you think work), can't open new skype, connection wifi becomes instable, and after a while I lose connection to internet, can't even do a clean shutdown because it hangs when closing (I guess because of this special skype process that can't be killed).
Every time I put the laptop to sleep, when I come in again, skype crashes, and the problem comes.
I've more windows shutdowns in this last month than I had during the last 2 years.
What is the solution ? Uninstall Skype and go for another chat/phone/video solution ? Can I've my credit money back ?
Please fix this problem. I'm really very anoid with this new SKYPE FEATURE
Thank you

I am getting frequent messages from Malwarebytes that it has "Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious IP address 222.76.139.5 (Type: outgoing, Port: 32311, Process: skype.exe).

Access to a website with a URL ending on .exe does not work

I need to access a website with a URL ending on .exe - Internet Explorer does not have any issues but with Firefox I only get the "file download" dialog box. Is there a setting where I can prevent this behaviour?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

What is it and how to solve the problem?

This is a known issue with Skype and Samsung Kies Software. You may try to update your version of Samsung Kies Software or go to system32 folder and rename the avrt.dll file to avrt_old.dll

Since downloading Maverick I have a long hang time, computer crashes, can't use word and I can't access finder, why?

Since downloading Maverick I have a long hang time, computer crashes, can't use word and I can't access finder, why? Also, iTunes is horrible. While I'm listening to my music iTunes will just stop playing the song for at least 5 minutes and I can't force quit why does it do that? This is the first time I have ever felt like my iMac is just as bad as a PC and I wonder if Steve Jobs would have let the program be relase to the public with all the problems involved. No wonder Maverick was free. IT ***** BIG TIME!

Hello, vanvu.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Since you are experiencing this issue with both a wired and wireless connection only on your home network and not at other locations, this issue would related to your router. I would first recommend power cycling the router and testing the connection again. If the issue persists, try updating your routers settings per the article below.

Cost of skype wifi access

Cannot find cost information for Skype wifi access. (Or a list of access partners). Any help?

The WiFi is just to get Internet access. It doesn't involve Skype. The cost is between you and whomever supplies the Wifi "hotspot". It could be yourself as you use your own WiFi-enabled home router. It could be your employer as you use the company's WiFi router. It could be Starbuck's WiFi router or the WiFi router at the executive lounge at the airport. The Skype software client could be on your home desktop PC, on your laptop PC, on your iPhone, or on your Android smartphone, or on a WiFi cordless phone. That software client then calls Skype over the Internet to establish an IP connection for voice data packets to flow over the Internet between itself and other software clients.

Firefox contantly hangs, can't End Process and have to reboot

Why can't firefox.exe be killed in Windows? I'm getting daily crashes in FF5, and jusding by thousands of posts so are others. I could live with these IF Windows allowed me to End Process, but it does not. I've even tried to end firefox.exe at the command line against the PID, but despite saying it had been teminated it has not. Having to close all my work and reboot Windows every time FF decides to longer work is VERY frustrating!!

Well I'm at a loss. I've followed above links. Problem is that it will work fine often for anywhere between 1 minutes and 2 hours and then suddenly hang for no reason. I've run safemode for an hour or so and it was fine. I re-added Firebug (my only extension and it also rank fine for hours then hung. How long Am I supposed to run in safe mode? days? If Firebuf was the issue why would it run for hours fine the hang?
I thought maybe there wasa issue with Flash Player, so re-installed that, but makes no difference. Anyway.. back to my original topic.....
WHY WHY WHY unlike most other windows apps can't I End Process for Firefox when it hangs? Having to reboot my machine every time it hangs is far more annoying than FF hanging itself. If Firefox process could be killed like any other process I could live with a hang every few hours. PLEASE PLEASE can Firefox team do something to allow it easy to terminate FF when issues occur without it locking your profiole or whatever else it is that prevents a 2nd application from being loaded.

Connect String for the front end app to access Lite Database in the Client

Hi,
I have been using an app developed in VB.net for accessing the Oracle Lite Database from the client machine. Can anyone please help me out how to set the Connect String in the config file of my front end app to access the Oracle Lite Database from my client machine. Do anyone have the syntax of the connect string to access the lite database in client machine.
Thanks a lot in advance.

In Bridge when I R click on psd file and tell it to open in Photoshop it says can't find Photoshop.exe. Photoshop is running at the time. How do I teach it where Photshop.exe is?

In Bridge when I R click on psd file and tell it to open in Photoshop it says can't find Photoshop.exe. Photoshop is running at the time. How do I teach it where Photshop.exe is?

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

MYSQL as front-end to MS Access via LabView

Hello members,
There is a part in my project where a program writes to a MS Access database (DB). I want to be able to take this Access DB and use it to update a MySQL DB using LabView. I have already created the DB in MySQL with exactly the same structure as the DB in MS Access. Basically, what I am trying to do is that every time the MS Access DB is updated I want to be able to post-run a VI to update the MySQL DB. So MySQL DB is my front-end for MS Access. I have the data connectivity package and I have tried couple things but in vain. I can insert data into MySQLDB but I have not been able to update a specific existing column in a specific existing table. I have searched online too for possible ways to do it and most discussions/ solutions are for MS Access to be the front-end for MySQL (I need the opposite to be working). Some other discussions were for migrating MS Access to MySQL, but it is not what we are trying to do. The MS Access DB will always be there. I do have all permissions to read/write to both DB.
I will appreciate any suggestions or input you may be able to provide or if there is a better/ efficient way to do it.

Based on your description I don't see how either database is a "front-end" to either one. It sounds to me like you are updating the two databases in parallel. For it to be a "front-end" MySQL would need to update the Access database directly, not LabVIEW. So LabVIEW would know nothing about the Access database. This means all the work would be inside of MySQL (such as with triggers on table updates and insertions, which I'm not sure if MySQL even has).
I don't understand your statement about being unable to update a specific existing column in a specific existing table. What exactly are you trying? What VIs are you using? What are your inputs? Can you post your code and a quick overview of your schema?

Can't execute setup.exe on PDA

hi, i'm testing simple example with Oracle817 and 9i lite database..
my problem is that i can't execute setup.exe on my PDA...

Katrina: am i remembering this correctly?
what eventually worked for him was downloading and installing a copy of Pocket Killbox, which he eventually managed to use to get rid of the beasts.
keep us posted.

Java.exe Access Violation Error(URGENT)

Hi all,
I have created a application for my company. This application requires a user to login into the site by giving his userid/pwd. Once the person logs into the site, there is this error "Java.exe Access Violation Error" which pops up and terminates the Web Server.
My Login page is a HTML page which inturns calls a Jsp which authenticates the user.Once the authentication is completed, the user id is put into the session so i can check for the existence of user session on each subsequent page. After the user successfully logs in, the error pops up.
Please get back to me incase u have ever encountered this error and what might be the solution.
I am using Tomcat Webserver 3.2.3, Sql Server 7.0 as the Database Server, JDK1.3 .
Regards,
Yatin

As far as i remember i faced this problem when the memory of my pc was broken. So it may not be a problem of java or html code.
