Skype desktop won't sign in

Hello,
I used the skype desktop version just a few weeks ago and tonight I went to use it and it would NOT sign in. It just says signing in with the white circle thing going constantly and NEVER ending or signing in. I use the desktop version as it has the text box for typing text while chating with friends it also allows me to use Skype recorder so that I can do interviews for a podcast. But for whatever reason It simply will not sign in. The Windows 8 app version works but I don't really like that version as the desktop is better PLEASE help.

Try to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Skype desktop won't open

I recently signed out of the Skype app on my Windows computer for the first time ever, and the app would not let me sign back in because I had to "download the new app," but upon downloading and going through the initial setup, I began receiving the error message "Skype has stopped working" every time I tried to open Skype Desktop. It says that the name "Skype Desktop" should appear in my app list in place of the old Skype app, but instead I have no Skype apps and have lost my accesibility to the app entirely. Not sure if this "new version" is not agreeing well with my computer or if it is just absolute garbage, but any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I have already tried uninstalling / reinstalling / updating/ deleting / diagnostics / etc.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

Skype on desktop won't sign in, but does on phone ...

Hi, anyone got any ideas as to why signing in fails on the skype for desktop (pc), but successfully signs in on phone and tablet app? I'm going round and round in a vicious circle of resetting passwords etc., with the problem still not solved. I've uninstalled and resinstalled, reset the password and restarted the pc several times and tried on a couple of different pc's without luck. Meanwhile, the app is working seamlessly. Using win7
Help please!

What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

App version of Skype won't sign in

For some reason the Skype app on my install of Windows 8.1 Enterprise will not sign me in. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a couple of times.
I've tried the steps outlined here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Modern-Windows-for-users-on/Oops-there-was-a-problem-Please-restart-Skype-or-try-again/m-p/1271790/highlight/true#M3388 I tried sfc /scannow still no luck.
Still can't get it to sign in for some reason. My login works just fine for the desktop app, but I like being able to snap the Skype app to the side of a monitor for chatting, but for the life of me I can't figure out why it won't sign in.
It just sits there attempting to sign in for roughly 3 minutes and then fails with Oops...There was a problem, please restart Skype or Try Again. Any further ideas on this?

Then why the heck do you still have it on the store like it works? And why just a generic "Something went wrong" error message than having it say "we can't sign you in because this version of Skype has been deprecated"? I wasted four and a half hours this morning troubleshooting this because nobdoy at Microsoft stopped and thought to have the common courtesty to maybe have an actually informative error message about the failed sign in and remove the non-working application from the Microsoft Store.
Jeez, and here I was thinking Microsoft was a professional company that cared about end user experience. Nope, they just leave you with a cryptic error message making you think it's something wrong on your side rather than the truth...
Also, thank you so much for removing wonderful features that worked without any problems whatsoever before. I don't know what I would have done had I been able to keep using Skype conveniently...
And that isn't even to mention how it breaks the People app too. It has your Skype contacts in there, but now since Skype doesn't work when you go in there and tell it to IM or call someone it just goes "durr, I don't know what to do."
If you're going to change a workflow like that, at least tell the other places that rely on the Moden Skype app to gracefully redirect to the new worflow.

Most likely this is one of the several cases when the latest Skype 7.0 version is not able correctly to interpret BIOS data. At least, this was the issue with the previously reported cases with this error message:
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00d527d7
or
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00d517d7
It seems that Skype has identified the issue and a fix is promised in one of the upcoming Skype versions.
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-has-stopped-working/m-p/3815022#M32...
Meanwhile, the working solution is to uninstall the 7.0 version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 Skype version:

How-can-i-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-sc...

Guys this is absolute rubbish feature of the login application where people's login names get recorded in the dropdown menu. Is there any more permanent way of getting rid of this annoying privacy intrusive "feature"? I would like to have a profile with a username that is not going to appear at airports and my grandma's laptop after I log out of skype and no I do not want to go digging for app files to remove my entire history on each and every machine I use as suggested by your help files. Could you please advise if I'm missing something here?

How can I make Skype Desktop the default for Call: links in MS Outlook?

How can I persuade MS Outlook to use Skype Desktop for Call: links (such as those for phone numbers in a Contact Card)? Right now it is using Skype for Business to open them (I have both Skype Desktop and Skype for Business - formerly Lync - installed) and I need to use Skype Desktop by default instead. Office 365 Business (15.0.4727.1003) on Windows 8.1 Pro x64, with Skype Desktop v 7.6.whatever the latest is. Advice very welcome!

My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why?

My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why? Otherwise, the desktop runs fine.
The battery is new, and I zapped the little button on the main board once. I've noticed that the power supply plug is a little longer than the usual one for G4, and the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.

Hi Ursula,
the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.
I believe that is for ADC Monitor power if you had one, or a card with ADC, like the little tab on this one...
I think your startup problem is bad capacitors in the power supply or on the logic board, and the need to bleed off their charge before they work right to start.

PDF Files on desktop won;t open all the way. 11.07 won't download with Maverick 11.06

I have Maverick 11.0.6. It quit downloading 11.07 half way through. Also, some PDF files on my desktop won;t open all the way. Still show the logo. What is going on?

The Installer that you had downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5786 is the 11.0.07 patch update for Reader XI. It shows the dialog "choose the copy of Adobe Reader to update" under following scenarios:
1. When it finds more than one copy of Adobe Reader installed on a system. In this case, You need to choose the application that you use, like browse to Applications directory and choose Adobe Reader if that is the location from where you use the application.
2. When the installer didn't find any copy of Adobe Reader installed on a system which it needs to update. In this case, you may install Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07 directly from here get.adobe.com/reader/ from the same machine you intend to use it on.
Please let us know if any of the above suggestion resolved your problem.

My desktop won't start

I have a treo 680 unlocked and installed missing synch software on my new macbook pro leopard. I started using the sync function and was getting used to the weird looking (compared to desktop on windows) desktop presentation when I noticed that I wass getting all kinds of duplication and even triplication on my syncs. I ttied to solve that problem with help from missing sync but to no avail. I decide to try and start over.
So I uninstalled missing sync andI went back to my PC and cleaned up my handheld with my PC desktop. I couldn't uninstall desktop for mac so I reinstalled missing sync and did a hot sync. I then noticed I would have the same problem as i got a notice from missing sync that I had more than 5% sync to do. I wondered how that could be because this was supposed to be a new sync with no info on my desk top. I stopped the hot sync function and tried to see what was going on by opening my desktop. I tried it several times. I tried downloading mac desktop again and re-installing it. That didn't work, I kept getting the message that I had the most recent version on my mac and that I couldn't re-install.
So that brings me to my original subject statement.
My desktop won't start so that I can clean everything ou and do a start over sync. Please someone help!!!

Has this ever been resolved? It looks like it's 5 months old and I don't see any replies. I saw this and immediately thought of the DEP(Data Execution Protection) feature that is a characteristic of Windows Vista. If you go to your control panel,to system, to advanced system settings, and then click the settings button in the performance section, the DEP is the third thumnail to the right(should be the last one there). This is where you can turn it on or off and add programs for it to ignore.
However, usually when it's the DEP that kills a program unexpectedly, the operating system has usually made it known to the user that it was the DEP.
