Skype freezes my computer

Skype keeps crashing on my laptop. I know its skype because it only happens when skype is on. As long as skype isn't running on my computer it can stay up for days. I only last a few hours if skype is open. 7.4.64.102 is my skype version. I don't think its an issues of version because I've had skype on this computer since December of last year. Help? Running on Windows 8.1. My DXDiag http://dumptext.com/RCibP4hs

Skype freezes whole computer when..

When I'm in skype and playing world of warcraft, my computer is fine.
When I'm in a skype CALL and playing wow, my computer freezes many times ranging from 5-20 seconds.
If I'm on skype, in a skype call playing any other game besides WOW my computer does perfectly fine.
If I'm on any other voice communication program besides skype and playing wow then my computer does just fine.
But only when i'm in a skype CALL and playing wow at the same time my wow freezes, my skype freezes, my audio whatever may be playing at the time freezes and stops continueing to play.
Any help would be nice!

First update your Windows 7 installation to the latest Service Pack 1 (SP1) and make sure that you have the latest driver updates available too. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-windows-7-service-pack-1 Also, uninstall the virtual video capture devices. Video Capture Sources:

Hi, and welcome to the community!
Make sure your Skype version is up to date. Have you tried a clean reinstallation of Skype?
You can also try resetting your internet explorer settings.
Does it work if your Antivirus and Firewall are disabled?
If none of that works, please run the DirectX Diagnostics tool (DxDiag.exe). Click Save all information to save it to a text file. Please then zip the file and post it here.

Skype freezes my Computer when I enter a call

Hello. I have recently gotten a new desktop for my birthday. It was Windows 8.1 installed. When i went to use the skype app on the home screen I was redirected to get the new update, so I did. I used skype for that day a bit and everything seemed great. All of a sudden when i was talking to my friend my comouter screen froze and i couldnt move my mouse or do anything but yet i could still hear him and him me. I had to unplug my computers powersource to get it to stop. When i turned on my PC again and he called me on skype I answered just thinking that it was some weird bug, but as soon as I joined the call the area displaying his profile picture and the call time was all grey, and seconds later the same thing happened with the freeze. This is very frustrating because i cannot find a fix for this anywere. Any help woulkd be greatly appreciated because I enjoy using skype quite a bit. Thanks.

Whenever I try to open skype from system tray and when I start a chat with someone, Skype freezes and I have to wait for like 20-30 seconds before I am able to chat. I have a freshly installed windows 7 x64 and the newest skype version.

Same story for me! Ususally the other party can hear and see me before my end starts working. Except sometimes takes minutes for Skype to stabilize before I can use it. Then it seems to work. Using Win 7 and Skype 7.1.0.105. The problem has existed since installing 7.1. Makes using Skype a real pain!
Internet Explorer is resident on computer, but I use Foxfire for browsing.

Skype freezes on closing, won't force close. I reinstalled, removed temporary files etc.(In safe mode)
I'm pretty sure that as administrator I should be able to close the process! But I can't. Why can't I close it?
I can't sign in because the process is still running telling that I'm still online on my own computer.
===Solution===
If you have the internet explorer feature disabled on your system try enabling it
===========
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Reboot your computer in Safe mode and try again to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use 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.
Reboot in normal mode and try to 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 calls keep dropping and Skype freezes?

I have good internet and every **bleep** minute or so when im in a call with my friends, skype freezes (but not like "not responding", i can click buttons, they just don't do anything) and the call is dropped for like 40 seconds and then it fixes itself again. it does this very often and im getting tired of it.
i've re installed skype, re installed java, installed an older version of skype and NOTHING works!!!
It's not my internet because while skype is frozen, i can be playing a game flawlessly, or googling things, something is wrong with my skype.
also my computer is really good (custom built gaming pc)
Skype is really pissing me off!

Same sort of thing is happening to me and has been happening for a while, except that it doesn't come back in 40 seconds. It's so annoying, and I'm convinced that skype is the biggest and most worthless piece of **bleep** program out there, I can't wait until there's a viable alternative. It will just stop mid call, as if the other person isn't talking, then it will become unresponsive. It's not like it's unresponsive and greyed out with Windows saying it can fix it, it just completely ignores everything. If I want to end the call, too bad. If I want to force quit the app, too bad. If I want to sign back on, too bad (it's already running). I have to restart my computer so many times throughout the day that it interferes with my work and I depend on Skype to connect my coworkers. It's so full of issues that I'm fed up. No updates or downgrades help me either, I've tried almost every one of the "good" ones.
