  • McAfee Antivirus and skype freezing

    Just for the possible benefit of anyone having Skype freezing issues, check if you have McAfee Antivirus installed and if so configure it to allow Skype full access.
    I kept having Skype freezing and as it turns out McAfee thought it was a virus and kept blocking it.

  • Skype freezes when I open it up from system tray a...

    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 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/instal​​​​​​​​​l-windows-7-service-pack-1 Also, uninstall the virtual video capture devices. Video Capture Sources:

  • Skype Freezes whenever a Conversation Window is op...

    The topic should be self explanatory.
    If this is repeated, I'm afraid that it seemed that the board ate up my last post.
    Whenever I open a conversation window skype freezes after a few seconds. I can start up the program, log in and then check options and so with no issues. But as soon as I open up a conversation window everything freezes and I'm forced to kill the process.
    I tried rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing my conversation history, renaming the Skype appdata folder to reset the configuration... Nothing works.
    It was working just fine a couple of hours ago and randomly stopped working. I did not apply an update nor I changed any other programs.
    I'm clueless.

  • Outlook and mac mail client attachements freeze, skype freeze

    Hi all,
    I am working in a company that many users have Macbooks Air and Pro. One specific user with a  a Macbook air that has a clean install of Yosemite (not even a week ) started to have problems with the mac mail client attachements. Every time he tried to insert a file the mail client frozen and had to force quit. After a while i observe the same issue on Outlook mail client. At last after a reboot that he did to see if that gonna solve the problem then Skype started to freeze also and had to quit every time. So now, so far none of the above apps work as expected and the Skype doesn't work at all. It has to be noted here that we did the upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite to solve the Skype issue that he had also for a couple months now and it wasn't resolved from Skype's support team( never answered). So for now we have again the same problem and and with a fresh install of Yosemite i am started to thinking about hardware issues or even broken drivers, code to Yosemite etc. The laptop has an encrypted SSD using Filevault, SEP, Office and Acrobat Reader nothing else.
    Any thoughts to solve this issue?

    Hi Brody,
    Thank you for your answer, yes i did erase the hard drive and install Yosemite!! After a second call that i made with my client he said that first of all:
    The problems of the Outlook and mac mail client attachements freeze started after he install Cisco VPN Anyconnect (I don't think that this has to do anything with the freezing) so he tried to remove this using Appcleaner. After this not only the Outlook and mac mail client attachements freeze problem was remaining but he saw that skype started to freeze also. No matter how many uninstall and install he made to the Skype, Skype continues to freeze. For the mail freeze i advise him to use the verify/repair disk permissions and so far that one solved. The remaining problem is the Skype Freeze so far. I also tried to remove the Skype following this https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12073/how-can-i-completely-uninstall-and-then -reinstall-skype-for-mac-os-x
    so to avoid Appcleaner and still the problem persist even with older versions of Skype. I also create another profile account in Yosemite and Skype seemed to played well there. But i would need to solve in his account so to avoid any file transfer. Do you have any idea why that happened? Is it a file permissions problem? Corrupt/missing files in users profile? This one problem had in the past as i wrote in the previous comment and couldn't work at that time.
    Any thought on that? What could be wrong?
    Thanks

  • Skype freezes on closing, won't force close. (Solv...

    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. 

  • Skype freezes after fresh windows 7 install on new...

    Hello, ever since I freshly installed win 7 on a new ssd, I've had issues with Skype. The program consistently freezes when I'm typing a chat message. On top of this, the people I skype have said that my audio will lag out when I'm talking with them; I've noticed the program being unresponsive at those times.
    Anyway, I've gone through the forums trying every solution I could find (e.g. fresh skype install, giving firewall perms, uninstalling messenger plus etc.), and I haven't been able to correct the problem. Sfc scannow has also returned no errors.
    I've attached the dxdiag report.
    Thanks for any help.

    Alright, the issue has been finally corrected. Skype no longer crashes randomly at launch, my friends can finally understand what I'm saying, and chat doesn't freeze. 
    What I did to correct the issue since the last update:
    - reinstall java
    - reset ie 11 settings
    - moved usb ps3eye cam to different usb port
    Apparently my usb port is messed up... which is weird since it was fine before the fresh intall of win 7.
    Thanks for the help

  • Problem with Desktop Skype freezing, please help

    2 days ago, Dec. 23rd, I started up Skype as usual, but after about a minute, it froze, soon becoming "not responding". I opened Task Manager to try to end it manually, but Task Manager quickly became "not responding" as well, as did Chrome when I opened it when I tried to search for a solution. This had never happened before, and since has only happened when I am trying to use Skype for Desktop. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, switching to an older version, and running an antivirus scan to see if a virus might be causing the problem, but none of this helped, and it still freezes itself along with all my other programs, forcing me to restart my computer if I want to be able to use it. I have been using Windows 8 Skype instead today, with no problems, but Skype for Desktop is more convenient for me, and I would very much appreciate it if someone would please help me.
    Also, I don't know if this might be related to the problem, but today I had Task Manager open before starting Skype for Desktop, hoping I could end it before it caused everything to freeze (I couldn't), I was able to see before it froze that Skype was using 100% of my Disk.

    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.
