Skype does NOT start up with Windows

When I boot up Windows, Skype refuses to load with it even though it is enabled to do so in the Skype settings.
Windows 7
Skype 6.21.0.104
Solutions tried: removing and reinstalling Skype and checking/unchecking the Start Skype with Windows checkbox.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
If you use CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

  • Does not start up with last viewed Tabs even though chosen in options?

    V 4.01 with Vista. Even after choosing the correct option in options>options>General FF does not start up with the last session of Tabs and Windows. It always opens with a single blank Tab. What am I doing wrong?

  • Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.

    Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.  This started with the latest update.  I see that the desktop icon for Media Manager now has a security shield on it, and it requires UAC confirmation when you start it, which I don't remember the old version doing.
    One thing I noticed, msconfig.exe shows that "C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciTrayApp.exe" is set to start at Windows startup, but the desktop icon used to start Media Manager manually has a target of ""C:\Program Files\Verizon\Verizon Media Manager\Release\Verizon Media Manager.exe" Verizon Media Manager".
    I don't remember what the previous version was, but this one is 9.4.86.  It asked me if I wanted to update it a few days ago, and I said yes.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try setting the startup option to off and then to on again. It looks to be pointing to a wrong location.
    Attached is a partial screen shot of my msconfig setting.

  • Can I get an older release of Firefox? 36.0 does not play well with Windows 7.

    Firefox 36.0.4 does not play well with Windows 7. If it opens at all, it freezes within a minute so the screen goes pale and I get the classic spinning circle of death. Then the header says (not responding).
    Ideally I would like to drop back to version 32 or 33, but 34 and 35 had fewer problems.
    Can I find older versions anywhere?

    You can [[Install an older version of Firefox]] any time. But which will cause significant security risk. So If you can't use the latest version of Firefox, we recommend that you use the latest version of another browser.
    If the latest version of Firefox is causing problems for you or you just don't like something about it, please give us feedback about it here:
    [https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/ Submit your feedback and suggestions about Firefox]
    Anyway head for the ftp for older version but please be careful with these: ftp://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

  • T400 does not start up with a battery and AC, but starts up with only AC.

    I bought T400, 7417-CTO in Jan 2010. My T400 does not start up with a battery and AC power. I tried to start with only AC power after pulling out the battery, it worked fine. Even when I inserted the battery in T400, which was running perfectly with AC only, T400 seems to lose the power - more strictly speaking, it kept stoping and re-running several times, and finally it dead.
    a few possibilities
    1) a battery is dead - but it does not explain the failure with both AC and battery
    2) some hibernation issue - I plugged in and out the DIMM, and clock battery. I tried to keep pushing the power button trick, but it didn't work
    3) Mother board failure??
    I really appreciate if you give me some advice on it.
    Wanyong

    Thanks for all your kind and helpful comments.
    Unfortunately, I don't have any friends who have Lenovo - or I don't have many friends here since I moved in the last summer. ;-)
    After purchasing a new battery, I will update it. Hope that this thread helps someone who had/will have same prob. as mine.

    MichaelAShea which web browser are you using?  Please try a different web browser.  If you continue to face difficulties then I would recommend installing via the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • Xorg does not start (timeouts) with "no screens found"

    After years of my system working correctly, this has been happening for the last ten days.
    Many times - not all of them - xorg does not start, and I get greated with the standard console login prompt.
    Checking in /var/log/ the xorg.0.log, it says that "no screens found".
    I am using an nvidia VGA with nvidia driver 190.xx from extra.
    I am using KDE, from inittab (not with kdm as a deamon).
    Initial xorg.conf used to be:
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Default Layout"
    Screen "Default Screen"
    InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
    InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
    EndSection
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "CoreKeyboard"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    EndSection
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "My Monitor"
    Option "DPMS" "True"
    Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "My Graphics Card"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "My Graphics Card"
    Monitor "My Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1280x1024"
    Viewport 0 0
    EndSubSection
    Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
    Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "enable"
    EndSection
    Now I have trimmed it down to:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "My Graphics Card"
    Driver "nvidia"
    EndSection
    But the problem remains.
    The problem started ten days ago.
    The previous night I had updated the following packages (I provide a section of pacman.log):
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded acct (6.3.2-2 -> 6.5.1-1)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded coreutils (8.2-1 -> 8.4-1)

    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded git (1.6.6-1 -> 1.6.6.1-1)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded iproute2 (2.6.29-3 -> 2.6.31-1)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded mkvtoolnix (3.0.0-1 -> 3.1.0-1)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded psmisc (22.8-1 -> 22.10-1)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded zlib (1.2.3.4-3 -> 1.2.3.4-4)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded recordmydesktop (0.3.8.1-1 -> 0.3.8.1-2)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded smbclient (3.4.4-1 -> 3.4.5-1.1)

    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded tzdata (2009t-1 -> 2010a-1)
    [2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded whois (4.7.36-1 -> 5.0.0-1)
    So since nothing on xorg was updated, maybe the new coreutils is the more likely suspect?

    no, i install nvidia and then xorg i try startx without result.
    Right now i am from Ubuntu, i am going to install arch on virtualbox and i will answer to any other questions.
    Thank you
    The reason you were asked if you rebooted is because installing the nvidia driver also installs a kernel module. That kernel module
    needs to be installed in the running kernel, either by invoking "depmod nvidia" or rebooting, providing everything installed correctly. You
    may need to put the module name in your modules section of rc.conf and then reboot.
    The absence of that kernel module explains your error message of not finding that kernel module. :-)
    iirc the .install already does the depmod
    Note to TS:  if you use virtualbox you can't use your hosts video card so you will have to use the vboxvideo driver. So read the wiki about virtualbox

  • IPhoto does not start up with incompatible Prokit error

    i installed the new version of iphoto 9.3 ( as prompted by software updates). post installation, iphoto does not start up. it throws an error " incompatible prokit framework".

    I have Mac OS 10.8 too and it won't run the last versions of both iPhoto and Aperture. It does work with earlier versions (Aperture 3.2.2 and iPhoto 9.2.3).
    I suggest you to downgrade iPhoto rather than the OS as in less than one week Mac OS 10.8 will be released and hopefully you will be able to update it and to run the last version of iPhoto with it.
    By the way, I think that my grandmother upgraded to this new OS but I don't know how to downgrade it.. LOL

  • Skype does NOT start with Windows Anymore (start S...

    My Skype NO LONGER starts with Windows anymore!!! I HAVE to manually open Skype!!! I cheked the options and "start Skype with Windows" IS checked!!! I tried unchecking the option and rechecking it, made no difference!!! how do I fix??

     Just because Skype isn't starting up automatically doesn't mean it isn't trying.  Other applications you have loading at startup could be slowing down Skype's ability to start.  You can run msconfig ( Start - Run  (Wink key + R) -  "msconfig".  Under the startup tab you can see if Skype is set to start or not.  You can also uncheck everything else but Skype and see if it comes up them.  If it does, using a process of elimination you should be able to determine the application causing the probelm.  If you do not see anything for Skype you can use the registry files provided to toggle that feature on/off just as the Skype program attempts to.

  • ITunes does not start run on Windows Vista at all

    I've been using iTunes on Windows Vista for about six months. A couple of weeks ago it stopped running: I run the program, see the animation-formerly-known-as-hourglass for a couple of seconds and then - nothing. I can see iTunes in the process list, but nothing happens nor can I shut it down (it does nothing when I try to shut it down).
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that does not help. The program did run on another user account, so this is probably related to my profile. I tried moving the two iTunes profile folders I saw listed somewhere (can't find them now), but that did not help.
    Yesterday, I got a pop-up saying there's a version 7.5 available. I installed that, and much to my surprise it ran normally - once. After that one time it again refused to do anything more than what I wrote at the start.
    So what gives? Should I throw my iPods into the nearest lake?
    Any hints on how to solve this frustrating issue will be greatly appreciated.

    I've tried everything I can now. I've uninstalled everything that has anything to do with iTunes, then reinstalled (as per the relevant article). I've even tried installing an older version, but no. Whenever I try to run iTunes, it shows up in the processes - and can't be terminated except by shutting the computer down - but does not open.
    It still seems my only option is to throw my two iPods into the lake. This is infuriating.

  • SmartView 11.1.1.3.01 does not work right with Windows 7 64 bit

    We have a user running Windows 7 64 bit and Smartview 11.1.1.3.01 that is having a host of issues
    1. After initial install SV works as expected
    2. If He either shuts his computer down or closes excel and reopens smartview he is not able to save data, nor when doing adhoc query analysis is he able to manually enter dimensions into the cells and click refresh. For example, He will open the connection and ad-hoc query analysis. Drag over the year dimension, enter FY12 in the cell, click refresh and FY12 disappears, he can manually choose it out of the tree and it will stay.
    All Windows XP users do not experience this issue
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    thanx

    Which version of MS Office are they using?
    Did you confirm the plugin was installed using the run as administrator windows command - as there have been issues when not using this caused problems too.
    Can you try using the later version plugin: 11.1.1.3.500. Be careful though that you don't hit the following:
    Issue: After upgrading from Smart View v11.1.1.3 to Smart View v11.1.1.3.500, the connection screen box is blank in Excel 2007 on Windows 64-bit systems.
    Cause: The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView was not updated during the upgrade and contained incorrect information.
    Solution
    In the registry editor, delete the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView and run the Smart View v11.1.1.3.500 install.
    Note: By deleting this key, you will lose stored information for: Connections, Login, Options, Preferences. These will need to be recreated.
    Cheers, Iain

  • ITunes 11.2.0115 does not load/work with Windows 7 Professional. What is wrong?

    Hi Folks!!! Please if you can help me: after the upgrade to the last iTunes 11.2.0115 Version (Windows 7 Professional PC Operational System), I've received, all the  times I've tried load it,  the warning message: "iTunes has stopped to work"...What is happening? Please, can anyone help me? I can't access iTunes to the syncronizing of my iPod Classic 160Gb 7th generation. All the way, thank's a lot. Mª Paula.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • MacBook beeps 3 times and does not start up with upgraded RAM....

    I recently started upgrading my macbook as i use large programs like final cut, after effects, and logic. So far ive installed an SSD (using OWC data doubler) and replaced the battery.
    Now i'm trying to upgrade my 4gb RAM to 8gb but my macbook doesnt seem to be compatible? Im trying to use Corsair 2 x 204-pin SODIMM DDR3 1066MHz CL7 but im not having the best luck. Its the Mid 2009 13 inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26ghz model currently running dual 2gb 1066MHz which SHOULD be compatable but i get nothing except 3 beeps everytime i try to power on. As soon as i put the original RAM back in it works perfectly. Ive literally tried everything from trying dual 4gb 1333MHz, reseting my PRAM and SMC. No matter what I try it gives me the repeated 3 beeps! PLEASE HELP!

    The correct RAM specifications for a mid 2009 13" MBP are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.  If you deviate from this you run the risk of the RAM not operating correctly.
    I would suggest that you return the RAM and get chips with the afore mentioned specifications.  Inserting higher speed RAM will not solve your problems.  If it works, and it may, the MBP will down clock it to 1066 Hz any way.
    Ciao.

  • Skype does not log in on Windows 10

    When I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday, everything worked fine. But once I turned my PC on today and tried to launch Skype, I get and endless "logging in" loading circle, and nothing else happens. I have to end it through the task manager to get it to stop.

    Not sure if it helps but my problem turned out to be down to MSI's killer network manager.Link to another post I asked about the problem in
