Skype Crashing, Update Not helping.. Tried every s...

So I updated my skype to the version that was supposed to 'Fix' this issue of skypes crashing. However once I updated I continue to crash. So I then decided to delete the main.db file and delete chat history and such. I still continue to keep crashing. After a few people sent this malicious message in skype group chats.. Please, How do I fix this..

You have definitely not updated your Skype to the latest version. Your Skype version is 6.22.0.107, while the latest update is 7.5.0.102.

Beside this, the crash report indicates problems with your Internet Explorer (IE11).
Try to reset all Internet Explorer settings to default and update your Skype.

You need to update your video drivers to attempt to resolve the problem. You can get the latest generic Intel video drivers here: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24973/a08/win64_153336.zip If you are unable to run the setup due to it barking about incompatibility, you will need to force update the drivers using Device Manager and browsing to the driver folder in this package (ignoring any warnings).

Adobe Flash player plugin keeps crashing/Updating not working.

Almost everyday the plug-in keeps crashing which is very annoying. Updating it did not work as there are missing plug-ins and when installing them, you have to install by manual but when downloaded theres no way to open and run the missing plug-in

Reloading the page will often get the video, game or animation to play again.
If Flash continues to crash, updating to the latest version of Flash should fix the issue.
As this has been happening to you for a long time, try this too...
Go to this Flash help page on adobe.com.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html?promoid=ISMRY
Right-click on the box that lists your Flash player version and then click Settings… in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.
Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
Restart Firefox.

Clamshell mode not working, tried every possible way

Grr, this is getting so frustrating. I have tried every possible method, even following apple's guides. None of them work for me. I even tried the "boot" method the guy told me about in the last thread, and that still didn't work!!!
I have both my bluetooth mouse and keyboard hooked up right now, and it is not working . What would you guys recommend I do next?

Just to make sure, are those the instructions you followed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
If you have, do you happen to have a wired keyboard and mouse to try it with - that would rule out any possible bluetooth problems. If you haven't, try the ones in the link I posted. Also, are you using the correct cable connections/ports?

I cannot get the verification email to arrive in my inboxes and when I choose the security question options it tells me my birthdate is incorrect and I know it it not Help trying to reset my iPad to factory settings and keeps asking for a password I can't

I am trying to put my ipad back to factory settings and it keeps asking for my original Id which is the reason I am needing to reset it. When I try to do this via password prompts it asks for my date of birth which I enter correctly and it tells me it is incorrect and then trying the email route this does not send any emails to the registered accounts I set up originally - help!!

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

Media Encoder Update Not Helping

I just installed the latest media encoder update to see if it would resolve the Quicktime Animation codec problem, but it did not. When encoding a still image sequence to this format with all quality options set to high, it drops half of the frames, and the result is pretty crappy. I have verifed with another program that the codec is working properly, so it is obviously a fault of adobe media encoder or Premiere Pro CS4.
rgds

Im having the same problem. Any hints on whats the next best codec to use? I need to render out a full res lossless file so i can encode it in squeeze. pro res looks ok but it falls apart in the encoder.

Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing and I've tried every step that was suggested

Unable to load Farmville (Zygna game - Facebook).
I just installed the latest version of Firefox and Flash (11.5) and I had previously fully uninstalled both of them.
I checked that the Firefox settings were correct in Tools/Options.
Disabled Plug-ins and Extensions, Hardware Acceleration, POP-up blocker, Restored defaults, started in Safe Mode and anything else that was suggested.
I would be grateful for any other suggestion.

o disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.

Itunes crashing at startup while trying to access Itunes Store

Hey all, below is a reply I wrote in another thread. I found a workaround to this issue that's working for me.. thought I'd also create this new thread... hopefully will work for you too until (hopefully) Itunes update/patch fixes the issue.
Hello, bump for me on this really annoying issue. Running Windows 7 SP1, fully updated drivers. Using latest Itunes, 10.7.0.21. Just like the others, every time I try to open Itunes, the Itunes store seems like it's trying to load.. and then I inevitably get the "Itunes has stopped working.. Windows is checking.. blah blah" and then crash. I have tried every fix I could find on these and other forums:
1. Uninstalled/Reinstalled all Apple software as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 along with CCleaner to clean up any registry issues (after uninstall/before reinstall of course). DIDN'T WORK.
2. Did the winsock reset listed here https://discussions.apple.com/message/17412059#17412059. DIDN'T WORK.
3. Corrupt User Profile (Kernalbase.dll) Issue: Did the renaming of corrupt Itunes folder listed here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-HK/w7itprogeneral/thread/be53aac5- c560-478a-9598-e0c6a33d9da7 and that worked the FIRST time after renaming the folder to Itunes.old.. i.e. opening Itunes after doing this was successful and thus created a new Itunes folder. However, after closing itunes and reopening.. I was right back to square one.. Itunes crashing. (This did "work" partially so probable that issue has something to do with Corrupt Itunes User Profile??) Ultimately, DIDN'T WORK.
*BTW, I also did a Run Diagnostics from the help menu of Itunes and got 3 green lights for network connectivity.. one of which is of course "Secure link to Itunes store verified". So Itunes is telling me it seems to be communicating fine with Itunes Store.
There's nothing else that I can see to do short of reinstalling Windows... which I really don't want to do.
HOWEVER, after some trial and error, I found a weird little workaround. It seems like the crash is happening upon the initial attempt by Itunes to connect to the Itunes store. Here's what I did:
1. After opening Itunes (and the initial opening event is so that Itunes tries to connect to Itunes Store -- this will happen if the last page you were on the last time you closed Itunes was Itunes Store), QUICKLY click on "Music" (or any other "offline" library) on the left upper pane of Itunes. This will take you to your Music library and Itunes will STOP trying to connect automatically to Itunes store. So now, Itunes is open at least. Note: Others have mentioned correctly that if you open Itunes with your internet connection off, it will at least allow you to open Itunes b/c Itunes doesn't try to open Itunes Store if you're offline. My workaround accomplishes the same thing while still being connected to the internet.
2. Now, if you now click on "Itunes Store" directly, it WILL CRASH as per usual.
3. Instead, click on "Purchased" which is directly under "Itunes Store". Click ok to the pop-up. Then, on the bottom right of the screen, click on "Download Previous Purchases". This will open the previous purchases page which is actually WITHIN the Itunes store. If you look at the left pane, Itunes Store will now actually be highlighted. You're now in the Itunes store.. just via the "sidedoor" if you will. You will also now see all the usual Itunes Store categories along the top of this page like the Home Icon, music, movies, tv, apps, etc. etc. Click on the Home Icon (music, movies, whatever) and VOILA, it will open Itunes store without crashing!
4. Now that you're "in", you can jump around freely during THIS session. IE, you can freely go back and forth from looking at your left-pane offline music library, movies, apps, whatever.. and click on Itunes Store in the left pane and Itunes will not crash... you know, how Itunes normally works!
5. When you're done using Itunes just make sure the last screen you use before you close Itunes is "Music" or some such. That way, you won't have to do the "quickly hit Music" the next time you use Itunes. It will automatically just go to the offline Music library and not try to access the Itunes Store. Then, just repeat step 3 and you'll be "in" again.
I really hope this workaround works for you until Apple updates/patches Itunes for those of us that are having this issue. If it keeps working for me, I'm gonna live with it until the next Itunes version update hopefully resolves this issue.
OH! PS. I'm also having the Apple Software Update issue mentioned here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4040994?start=60&tstart=0. I have no idea how to solve this.. wondering if it's related to the Itunes crashing issue. I'm also getting the error message when trying to update quicktime from the help menu here https://discussions.apple.com/message/19392457#19392457.

Did not get any responses - so did some digging and found the answer myself in other discussions.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can go for help?

You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

Firefox crashes several minutes after opening every time I use it. I think Firefox was updated shortly before this started. Uninstalling and reinstalling have not helped. Updating all plug-ins has also had no effect. Would appreciate help fixing this.

Browser starts out working normally but within a few minutes it freezes, stops responing and I have to close it using Task Manager. When I open Task Manager, it shows two Firefox programs running with different icons even though I only opened one window.

iTunes saves out a new copy of the entire library file every time a change is made to the library. This is not new behavior.
The slowdowns I have seen like this have ususally been caused by:
A virus
or
Some anti-virus software is incorrectly interpreting the rewriting of the file and is causing a problem.
Either way, you should definitely update your anti-virus software and definitions to the latest, and run a full scan of your system. If that does not help, you may want to recreate your iTunes library.

If reset doesn't work, try and force the iPad into Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

ITunes no longer loads after updating to Windows 8.1. I have tried every corrective step I've found on the web (reinstall, copy files, change permissions, etc.) nothing helps. Has anyone heard if Apple is working on fix?

Itunes does not launch after updating to Windows 8.1. I've tried every suggestion I can find on web (reinstall, copy files from other directories, change permissions, etc.). Nothing works. At best I can get the licensing agreement to show and then nothing. Has anyone heard if a fix is in the works?

Since upgrading to FF 4, I have constant crashes (updating graphics drivers did not help). now all my bookmarks are gone. When I try to restore them, I get error message: "Unable to process the backup file".

Since I "upgraded" to FF 4, I have constant crashes (I tried updating my graphics drivers--it did not help) and now all of my bookmarks have disappeared. When I try to restore them, I get this error message "Unable to process the backup file". I have lost years of bookmarks...please help.
I am using Windows XP, SP 3 if that matters.

I am also unable to restore any of the backups of the bookmarks, both automatic backups and two backups that I created manually. Since I was able to restore backups before, and since no changes have occurred to these backup files, the problem must be with Firefox.
Right before my bookmarks disappeared, FF crashed and I accidentally started FF 3.5. When I saw what I did, I ended the Firefox process and started FF 4. That's when all my bookmarks were gone and I discovered I couldn't retrieve any backups. I did note that an add-on was updated when I restarted FF. Maybe that's the problem. Does FF have a Safe mode?
