Skype crashes when clicking a contact (External ex...

Hi Skype Community,
So this issue appeared suddenly upon booting my computer today. I can login to Skype and it opens normally as it would, but whenever I click on any contact, it promptly freezes, gives me the generic "Skype has stopped working" error, along with the error message "External exception C000001D".
I've tried deleting my Skype settings in %appdata%, reinstalled Skype, tried an older version and running a sfc /scannow in my command prompt, all to no avail.
Nothing seems to work, and it's beginning to frustrate be seeing as how I haven't changed anything recently. Any advice?
EDIT: Also, not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I was only able to reinstall Skype using .msi files. The regular downloader (along with the full version) gave me errors that Skype was unable to connect to the download server.

There seems to be severe issues with your Windows installation. Skype is crashing on the MSFTEDIT.DLL module, and this file is most likely damaged too. This was also the case in several previously reported similar cases.

To FIX the skype crashing upon clicking a contact ...

welp, i spent all day searching for an answer.... found it e_e
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/windows/beta/
It's the Skype 5.7 BETA. D had a call goin for about an hour now, completely fixed the problem.
Was a problem to download though.
1: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SKYPE UN-INSTALLED.
2: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO OTHER SKYPE INSTALLERS IN YOUR DOWNLOAD AREA.
Otherwise the install will not work. ;D hope i helped alot of you :3
Edit: While you don't have skype selected in a call. you'll have a little over screen popup with your call timer, hover over it and hit the X to make it go away. ;D

No. Nothing will be lost, simply install over what you have.

Skype Crashes when using video connection

Skype crashes when I attempt to use video.
I can establish a voice connection with my contact, and all works fine if we are not using video. The moment I enable video in the session, Skype crashes. This is repeatable. The other end does not need to use video, just when I enable it at my end.
I have gone into settings and the video seems to be working fine with my iSight built in camera.
I am using OS X Yosemite latest version, and also the latest version of Skype. I downloaded a fresh copy of Skype, and the problem is the same. The camera is the built in iSight camera on my mid-2007 iMac.

The same happens to me. Voice-only calls work just fine, but the moment I try to enable video - Skype 7.0. (653) crashes.
I use iMac7,1 (Mid2007) with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Any help would be appreciated (logs attached). Jacek

Since downloading and installing Firefox 3.6.16, Firefox crashes when clicking on certain e-mails in my inbox. I need help.

I installed v. 3.6.15 on 3/21/2011. Since then Firefox crashes when clicking on random e-mails in my inbox. I am running v. 10.6.7 on my iMac which I installed on 3/29/2011. I am running Java v. 10.6, Update 4, which was installed on 3/10/2011. My Adobe reader was just updated to v. 9.4.3. My iMac desktop is not quite 2 years old. When this problem occurs, everything clears off the screen. I get a message "Firefox quit unexpectedly. When I click on 'Reopen', I get the message: "Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having troubl recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. (Don't know what that means) There are no 'Crash ID(s), because everything disappears from the screen. Could someone send instructions via e-mail on what to do? I am 73 years old and do not know a lot about computers.

Finder crashes when clicking on Applications folder

VERY weird. Beginning a few days ago the finder on my Mac Pro crashes whenever I clicked on the Applications folder. It makes no difference what finder view I am using (icons, columns, etc.). Even if I click on the alias to the Applications folder in the sidebar, the finder crashes. I cannot view the contents of that folder by any method. The only way I can get to an item contained therein is to search for it using Spotlight.
Thinking that maybe my startup disk was hosed somehow, I ran Disk Utility (repaired permissions and verified the disk) and ran all tests within TechTool Deluxe. Both said the disk and filesystem were fine.
I tried copying the entire folder to another disk, but the copy aborts after the first few items (stops with Adobe Photoshop; the next item alphabetically is Aperture). In case Aperture was somehow a problem, I removed it (searched using Spotlight and then dragged it to the trash). No change in behavior.
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to replicate the entire drive to another, newly reformatted drive and made that drive the startup disk. No change in behavior.
It sure seems that the issue has to do with some kind of file corruption (that CCC dutifully replicated) rather than a faulty drive, but I have no idea where to look next for a solution (other than reformatting and reinstalling over 100 applications from scratch; ugh).
Does anyone have any idea what may be going on here? Until I can fix this, the Mac Pro is pretty much useless (luckily, I also have a MacBook Pro).

Hi - I too am having this issue.
When I click on any of the items in my sidebar (i.e. -desktop, documents, applications, etc...) this causes the finder to crash and restart.
I have tried trashing the com.apple.finder.plist and running disk utility but to no avail. I also found this other forum discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1336291?start=0&tstart=0) Where this was part of the post

Re: finder crashes when clicking desktop icon in sidebar - any help?
Feb 2, 2008 3:43 PM (in response to choegl)
choegl, that crash is the same place as andreas's but it got there in a different manor. In the manor I would expect it to. It is trying to retarget the window to your selection in the sidebar and setup List View according to the view options for that folder from that folder's .DS_Store. Its specifically trying to get the label for one of the columns in List View (i.e. Size or Name or Date Modified) but the value it gets from the .DS_Store is corrupt/bogus and causes the Finder to crash (specifically a component underneath the Finder call CoreFoundation via a call to CFStringGetLength). Here's how you solve your problem. In /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app type: +cd <path to problem folder>+
+rm .DS_Store+
+killall Finder+ Pressing return after each line. You can get the path to the problem folder by drag/dropping the folder into the Terminal window. When the Finder comes back up, see if it still crashes when you click on that problem folder (i.e. your Desktop) in the sidebar. Repeat the steps above for any other folders that behave this way when you click on them in the sidebar. Hope that helps everyone...
btw, I wrote up a bug report on your behalf about this issue and sent it off to Apple (# 5721669)."
I tried this as well and nothing!
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm at a loss and am hating this issue! BTW, if I right click on any of the items in the sidebar, I can then click on open to get the folder to open. HASSLE! and if I forget (which is likely since I move too fast for my own good) then I crash the finder. Also, this happens on all the users on my mac.
Thanks!!!!

Indesign crashes when clicking on print options

indesign cs6 crashes when clicking on printer or page setup within the print options. OS 10.7.4

Peter,
Yes, I can bring up the Paragraph Styles and the Character palettes with no document open, edit the [Basic Paragraph] style to change the font family, then open a blank document, and new text boxes will use that font.
I'm on a bit of a deadline right now, so I ended up uninstalling ID CS5 and reinstalling it. I can now successfully bring up the Edit menu and the right-click context menu both in a blank document and in the document I was working on before. I'm sure the problem will reappear again at some random point in the future, so I am still looking for fixes that don't involve reinstalling the app.
BTW, I have tried exporting my work document to IDML and re-importing it, but to no avail. I've also tried toggling Dynamic Spelling (past threads have suggested this as a possible fix), but also to no avail.
It would be really nice if Adobe products produced some sort of crash dump or bug report when this sort of thing happens...

Crash when clicking on edit menu

Hi,
on a customers computer, adobe reader crashes when clicking on the edit menu (german menu "Bearbeiten").
It doesn't matter if a pdf is open or not.
Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help.
What can I do?
Thanks alot,

Adobe Applications Crash when Clicking on Smart Folders

APPLICATIONS EFFECTED: Adobe InDesign Cs6, Adobe Indesign CS5.5 and Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 on Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
THE PROBLEM: The above applications will crash when clicking on File > Open and selecting a Smart Folder in the sidebar.
STEPS TAKEN TO FIX THE PROBLEM:
I have done a clean install of my system and have updated to the latest versions of all software, yet the problem remains.
I have also done a clean install on another system and it also has the same problem.
BACKGROUND INFO:
Information about smart folders can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4158
This is a clear bug, so where can I get help to get a fix for the problem?

Are the folders in question inside your home folder? If not, where are they?
Before you do anything else, I suggest you quit Dropbox and see whether there's any change.

Crash when clicking on certain links (have crash report #'s)

FF crashes when clicking a link (happens to random links, but can be reproduced reliably). It even happened while trying to submit this crash question.
'''Easy way to reproduce:'''
Visit: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090418084813.htm
Scroll to end of article, click link of "More information is available at: http://www.microtransat.org/"
That should cause the crash.
'''Alternate method''' (if you want a trusted website):
Ask a crash question on this website (mozilla), click on "Click for detailed instructions" under the "Crash IDs" section.
Insta-crash every time.

I wasn't able to reproduce the crash clicking from sciencedaily to microtransat. A standard diagnostic for possible interference by add-ons is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If the links works correctly, this points to one of your add-ons or custom settings as the problem.
Any change?

Since then I even tried OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK, tried downgrading to Eclipse 4.2.1, unsintalled and reinstalled everything, tried the Eclipse portable version from their site, and the problem was still there. What should I do? What can cause this, it didn't happened 1 week ago, what's gone wrong?
I even tried removing everything from workspaces but my source code, and all .eclipse and sh!t, I even tried running it as another user, and it still crashes on help -> welcome or every fifth minute in best case.
