Skype freezing when ever I open it

I dont know why, but everytime I open skype it freezes. I have to wait 1- 5 minutes for it to unfreeze. It freezes anytime I do any action, log in, call, share screens anything. I've tried everthing like redownloads, making sure im not on debug mode, reseting settings, nothing has helped. Skype seems unusable at this point. does anyone have an idea what i could do?

Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option).
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.

  • I am having a silly problem with Keynote and Pages. When ever i open a file, it opens the same file twice ?

    When ever i open a file using key note or pages. The files opens up two times. I the ave to close one version of the file and only then can begin work.
    Could you please help me how to get rid of this ?

    try routine software maintenance:
    1 - shut down the Mac
    start up the Mac again with the shift key pressed, release when Mac logo appears, let the Mac boot up it will take longer as it will be repairing the software
    2 - Applications > utilities > disc utility > select the system drive > disc first aid > repair permissions
    reboot normally and see if that helped

  • How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5).  I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.
    Good luck

  • Fox opens an error (Problem opening page) page when ever I open a new fox window and parks it in upper left corner of my desktop, what is up with this ??

    Fox opens an error (Problem opening page) page when ever I open a new fox window and parks it in upper left corner of my desktop, what is up with this ??
    It slows down my surfing, a lot and I do not notice the error page, until I notice the slow speed, because it is as small as a page can be, showing only the " -, +, & full size boxes with a border"

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

    Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
    I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
    Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
    Is there one?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Edwin,
    The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
    Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
    Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable

  • When ever we opened HFM Application through workspace, getting struck and through client is going good

    When ever we opened HFM Application through workspace, getting struck and through client is going good. Any guess on this.. please share.
    We have tried to Reset IIS, Recycle Services & Reboot Servers -- After this some time will works good , Then again isue repeats.
    Appriciate your help!
    Regards,
    RSV

    Yeah the issue seem to be with IIS,
    Try launching the application through the url
    http://hfmwebserver/hfm/logon/processlogon.asp?workspace=false&username=admin&password=password  replacing hfmwebserver with web server you have in your env and username and password respectively to see if there is some improper registration of Web Server with HFM.
    Also check IIS worker process settings.
    Thanks

  • 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.
