Skype crashes windows 8.1 (both desktop and metro ...

So here is the problem. Skype makes my pc totally useless. When I call someone, I get a notification that says "Amd display driver has crashed" or something like that. Thats one case, the good one. The bad one is that the whole thing freezes. I can't use anything, i have to hard reset the computer. It happens pretty often. I have tried to reinstall skype numerous times. I am running windows 8.1 64bit. Below you can find my diaxdg file. 
Note that it also happens when I am called. Skype also refuses to use my webcam. I have no problem using for example the Camera app of windows 8. It shows its existence, but no video. I have tried changing usb ports. It may work at times, but for short periods.

  • Launch Aurora in both desktop and modern views?

    Is it possible to launch Aurora in both desktop and modern views simultaneously? When Aurora first introduced the modern view, launching from a taskbar shortcut on the Windows desktop still opened the desktop view, while launching from the Start screen tile launched the modern view.
    Is this still possible?

    The desktop and "Windows 8 Touch" (modern) app now share the same [[Profiles|profile]]. This means you now have access to the same bookmarks, history, saved passwords, etc. from both apps. However, because of a limitation of our profile system, you can't run both at the same time while they are sharing a profile.
    However, you can run both at once if you first create a separate profile for each app:
    # [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|Start the profile manager]], create a profile named "desktop", then exit the Profile Manager.
    # Create a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile shortcut] to launch Firefox with these command line arguments: -P desktop -no-remote
    # Use the shortcut to launch Firefox using your "desktop" profile.
    # Use the normal Firefox icon to launch a second copy of Firefox using your default profile.
    # [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?|Set up Firefox Sync]] if you want the two profiles to have the same bookmarks and other data. (Treat the two profiles as two different "computers" while following the setup instructions.)
    # In the default profile, use the "Relaunch in Windows 8 Touch" menu item to switch to the modern app.
    I'm sorry this process is so complicated! We want to make it easier to use both applications at once, but we may need to make some very complicated changes to our code to make that possible, so it's not likely to happen quickly.
    For more tips and documentation on working with profiles, see this community article about [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox Using multiple profiles].

  • I am accessing a windows server using remote desktop and I am wondering if I can transfer files by sharing drives?

    I am accessing a windows server using remote desktop and I am wondering if I can transfer files by sharing drives?

    Probably. You may be able to use Finder > Go > Connect to server to access the server. You may be able to share folders using Remote Desktop too. Whichever one you like the best.

  • Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
    Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.

  • Both Desktop and Modern Versions answering incomin...

    Hi Folks
    I'm using Windows 10 and have both the desktop and modern versions of Skype installed.
    When an incoming call comes in, I answer it with the desktop version but then a few seconds into the call, the Modern App starts chiming and indicating the same incoming call needs a response. 
    This is annoying because we've already started the conversation and the chiming is distracting.  It goes away if I hit the red phone button. 
    Is there a way to disable the modern app from receiving calls?
    Thanks in advance

    Why would you run two instances of the same Skype account on one computer? The obvious fix here is to just run one at a time.
    Just log out of the metero app and it's solved.
    Unfortunately that's easier said than done:  See http://superuser.com/questions/495822/how-to-log-out-from-skype-app. 
    This link recommends hitting Win+C and logging out when the charms come out. 
    In Windows 10 the charms are gone and Skype Metro won't let me see the settings.  It just appears for a while and at first I'm confronted with just a blue screen; I can access a control menu in the top LHS corner but when I click settings it comes back with "Skype can't access settings right now."  Then a minute or two later, it shuts itself off, and disappears from the Task Bar.

  • Unable to access Adobe Story both desktop and online version

    Hello,
    i'm not able to sign into Adobe Story both desktop version - first it gave me this error -
    There was an error with this action. Try again later.
    18f1dd3c-30ae-46af-8fe7-832981787bdb
    now when i try to sign in it just hangs on "processing" splash page
    when i try to log into online version - tried Chrome, Firefox and IE10, it doesn't seen to be able to connect to the server:
    Adobe Story app that i'm using is a part of Creative Cloud CS6, all other applications work fine, all latest updates installed.
    Story updated itself today when i opened it first, before today i didn't have any issues accessing either online or desktop version.
    If the issue is on Adobe server side, any idea when it will be resolved?
    Windows 7 x64, SP1

  • My site renders too large on Windows 7/Windows XP in both IE and Chrome. How can I fix this?

    The site is "zoomed in" when viewed in these browsers - looks larger in view, and doesn't fit in the browser window. Adds scroll bars to the side and right. It's fine across Mac browsers. Very frustrating, as I am job hunting and most recruiters are on PCs!!!!!!

    Hi - thanks for responding! I got the heads-up on the problem from a recruiter, and I can replicate it myself when I check the site in Browser Stacks. I've looked at Windows XP and Windows 7, both IE and Chrome. It looks the same way all over those platforms. So I don't think it's about the varying monitor resolutions. I also think it's a new problem, because I looked at it myself on several friends' PCs back in July when I last updated it before now, and didn't see this issue.
    Site is www.joankristensen.com
    I just installed the latest version of Muse and resaved the site, reposted it. I have also tried publishing it to the Business Catalyst beta site and previewing that in Browser Stacks - same problem.
    I am on Mac OS 10.9.1.

  • System update makes Windows 7 on both T440s and E531 not starting up

    I install windows 7 on both a Lenovo E531 and a Lenovo T440s and afterwards install system update. The first time system update ask me to restart, Windows wont start up again, It reach the Windows logo and then turn black where only the mouse shows. Does system update have problems or is it one of the drivers already installed which colide with system update?

    Your problem is with MSVCR100.dll.  Google this as there are several hits on how to correct problem.  Here is one.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5402850

  • Any GPUs for Windows that support both CUDA and Open CL?

    Hi everyone,
    I was looking at this list:  http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
    while trying to decide which graphics card to buy to take advantage of Mercury playback.  I couldn't help but notice that there is not a single card listed that is compatible for both CUDA and Open CL in windows.  Do I really have to pick one or the other?  In that case, which would be more beneficial to a Premiere Pro workflow that utilizes a lot of dynamic links to After Effects?  As a side note, I use Photoshop a ton, and would love to keep my GPU acceleration in that arena as well.
    Thanks!
    -Charlie

    I believe they write OpenCL separately.  They're two different APIs.
    They are not that different, while 'porting' doesn't imply completely automatic process. Rewriting existing libraries from one language to another is something almost any developer is familiar with.
    I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make here.  Right now, you cannot use OpenCL processing with an nVidia card on Windows.
    The point is simple: both CUDA and OpenCL are supported by NVIDIA cards. The fact that Adobe engineers haven't ported libraries for GPU acceleration in MPE on Windows from CUDA to OpenCL so far doesn't mean they never will. Hence the statement that a user-side choice between AMD and NVIDIA equals to choice between OpenCL and CUDA is incorrect.

  • IPod appears on BOTH desktop and iTunes

    My (video) iPod shows up on both the desktop and inside iTunes. I have to eject it from both locations before disconnecting.
    The problem is - upon connecting - I receive the same error 4 times. "The iPod is in use and cannot be updated." I have to click "ok" 4 times. Then, it updates the iPod.
    Should the iPod appear in both locations? Why do I receive the error 4 times?
    Thanks.

    If your iPod is enabled for disk use it mounts on the desktop and in iTunes. It also appears mounted on the desktop for the time it takes to update the iPod if you have it set to auto-sync but not disk enabled. However ejecting it from iTunes should also un-mount it from the desktop

    Hi!
    It sounds like you're having trouble with Firefox for Desktop. I'd recommend contacting the Firefox for Desktop support forum here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop] ; they'll be more knowledgeable and better able to answer your questions than the volunteers here at the Firefox OS forum.
    I hope that helps you!

  • Access Printer from both desktop and laptop

    Can i install a  HP Photosmart 5510 on my desktop using the usb connection, and access the same printer from my laptop using wifi?  Desktop is XP Pro and Laptop isn 64 bit Windows 7.

    You can, but why?  The 5510 is a network-able printer.  Connect it wirelessly to your wireless router and be able to print AND scan from both computers.  
    Sharing via USB will only sharing printing, not scanning.  It is hard to set up and the host computer can never go to sleep!
