Skype freezing Win 7 x64-Bit

When I start skype and I login explorer.exe stops working, so the Desktop and the start menu freezes. I can do CTRL+ALT+DELETE and log off but I can't use the TaskManager to close skype so I have to click "Skype-->Sign Out" then explorer.exe (Desktop/start menu) starts working.
Before I had this problem all my contacts was offline and I was writing to a person I knew was online. Also my skype status was changed to the refreshing sky icon that shows up when you get disconnected from internet. This all started to happened right after I installed "Norton 2013" with license. and I also had another antivirus called "MalwareBytes" I have read many places that MalwareBytes did not make anny issues with other anti viruses and some time later I saw a few comments on Skype Community saying that it was a lie, so I uninstalled MalwareBytes and the contacts on skype was now online.
The weird thing is that before I installed Norton 2013 I had "Norton 360 2013" and it worked perfectly fine with MalwareBytes.
Skype connection settings:
Port: 26322
Checked Use port 80 and 443....
Automatically detect proxy (By the way, I don't use any proxy's)
Checked Activate uPnP
Things I have tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling skype
Uninstalling MalwareBytes
Renamed the skype folder in AppData so I got a new
Running CCleaner
Running Smart Defrag 2
Checked the shortcut, not running as Admin, not activated any service packs

The problem you are having can still be related to AntiVirus. It shouldn't but it can. A/V scanners can be highly intrusive. I would recommend removing/restoring to a previous state in which it was working. I've had the Norton AntiVirus user edition bluescreen an old computer back in the day, removed it and installed the Business edition, and no such bluescreen. That was enough to convince me to shy away from it back then. It's usefulness as a real AntiVirus in any form, is the reason I don't use it today. I generally believe the issues that people have are tied with what they have installed in their computer, running in the background or attached to their browsers. Issues can still arise due to other incompatibilities, the Skype application is by no means perfect.
I'm running a similar setup on all my machines with 6.3 and I cannot replicate this type of problem or a Skype crash. I generally don't use any add-ons or plug-ins, so I always question those. Some people are able to resolve their issues with 6.3 by downgrading to another 6.x release.

Skype windows 8.1 freezes for a bit while video an...

Hi,
I have a Lenovo T440s with Windows 8.1 Pro installed 8GB Ram and INtel HD Graphics card. Whenever i do video call on skype using desktop version after a while skype freezes for a bit, disconnects the call and shows red on the connection bar. After few mintues it works again, then does the same thing and completely freeze and shutdown. When using skype app(modern windows one) its does similar thing, just does shutdown itself yet freezes, disconnects and reconnect. this is constant thing noticed on both side of skype. however, at the same time if switch to my macbook pro and call the same person, i can do video for hours and no problem !
Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me. I need a solution please, its really annoying when doingsome serious work !

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me here. If I use my discrete video card (nvs 42000m) to boot into windows, it will freeze on the sign in page or sometimes on the metro page however when Optimus is enabled it works just fine.
So I thought it was a driver issue. I went to Nvidia and downloaded their latest video card driver for windows 8.1. No help
Uninstalled that, went to Lenovo's support site and installed their recommended driver and all other windows 8 drivers. Again it would freeze
Booted into safe mode uninstalled that, turned optimus back on, and this time used Windows update to install my video drivers (intel and Nvidia both this time).
Didn't work. So I spent maybe another hour or so fiddling and after many restarts i finally found the culprit. It was the Lenovo monitor driver. As soon as I uninstalled that, everything worked fine and I could finally use my laptop with optimus disabled and discrete video card enabled.
Windows update keeps recommending me to update the monitor driver but if I do, then it freezes again so I'm just leaving it as the default generic monitor.
The reason why I made this thread is to inform and save potential users in the future who have a similar laptop to mine (t520 with hd 3000 and nvidia 42000m) with Windows 8 installed and they happen to choose to solely run their laptop with the discrete graphics card, remember to uninstall your monitor driver.
I am open to recommendations and other alternatives.

Alright, here's the lowdown on x64 drivers for integrated SB Live! 24-bit sound cards (ala the one in the MSI NEO4 Plat SLI).
Creative has a beta x64 driver program. You can find it here http://preview.creativelabs.com however, if you read the release notes these drivers EXCLUDE 24bit versions of SB Live!. From reading the preview site, it seems that it's not that the 24-bit drivers have not been written yet. It is that they will NEVER be written, AFAIK they are currently not under development (so bitching about it on the preview site wont help).
This leads me to creative main forums, where I find this lovely post. Apparently it is Creative's position that the motherboard manufacturer is responsible for providing the drivers to the integrated sb live card.
Hurrah for screw ups. MSI, it looks like Creative is screwing you on this one, please don't integrate anymore of their sound cards. Realtek has official x64 drivers on thier site already.
Does anyone know if MSI is planning to release sb live 24-bit drivers? Cause it looks like Creative sure as hell isn't.
BTW, There are x64 drivers for every other component on the MSI NEO4 Plat SLI except for the SB Live! 24-bit.

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.

I am thinking of buying an Officejet 7610. I am running Windows 7 'x64 bit'.

I am thinking of buying an Officejet x64. I am running Windows 7 'x64 bit'. In the specifications it is stated that the maximum sheet size is 44" (1.01 metres) with Apple Computers, but only 19x13 " with Windows; why is there this difference, and can it be overcome in ANY way please?

I know that the program is old, however it was expensive to buy and I am really familiar with how it works, so that's why I would like to be able to do the cross over.
I don't work for Adobe but I can respond to a couple of your questions with certainty:
There is no upgrade (or crossgrade) path from Photoshop 7 Win to Photoshop 7 for Mac. That window closed many years ago.
Photoshop 7.0 will not run on modern Intel-based Macs. It was written for old PowerPC based Macs and the code will not run on Intel chips without Rosetta which is no longer available in current OS X operating systems.

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.

Trex version under NW 7.01 SP 5 for win 32 bit computer

Hi,
Our EP system is SAP NW 7.01 SP3. I am going to upgrade it to SP5. When selecting the components in SP5 stack its asking to select the components for Trex. Under Trex NW 7.01 there are only two option:
1. Linux on x86_64 64bit
2. Windows Server on x64 64bit
Our system is running on win 32 bit, but there is no option for win 32 bit under Trex components.
Any suggestion whether I shld select Win 64 components.
Our current level of Trex is SAP NW 7.01 SP3.
Regards
Deb

OK.
But be sure there exists only TREX versions like
TREX 7.0
and
TREX 7.10
and there doesn't exits SP for TREX there exists Revisions....
But anyway TREX 7.10 is a 64bit software that's why the operation system must as well be 64bit.
TREX 7.0 is a 32 bit software so that's why your operation system could be 32 bit.
You should install in windows 32 bit TREX 7.0.
Or upgrade your Windows to 64 bit and install TREX 7.10

Skype freezes on login window

I'm running windows 7 ,
64 bits ,
skype version 7.1,
and IE version 11 ,
but my skype freezes on the log in screen, you know those boxes where you type your username and password? it freezes when I'm trying to type there, I have no anti virus I disabled them all, and disabled my fire wall, and uninstalled skype and resinstalled it over and over, I've no idea what to do.
please help me

Try now to uninstall IE11 and let Windows to revert your Internet Explorer to the previous IE10 or IE9 version.
In order to uninstall IE11 you should go to Windows Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> View installed updates -> Microsoft Windows -> Internet Explorer 11.

Hi,
When you try to start the Remote Destop Connection, what errors it showed out?
Could the other PCs connect this PC with the RDC?
So you have read this blog?
RDP connections might fail due to a problem with KB2621440 - MS12-020
Did you reinstalled the KB2621440?
Besides, did you follow this guide to enable the RDC connection?
Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
And also this guide?
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?
Please take a check with those settings again.

10.5.2 iTunes on Windows 7 x64 bit laptop - Quick Time will play videos but not iTunes

I'm hoping you can help, I've looked for a solution to this for a while now.
I store my itunes library on an external hard drive. I completed a clean install of x64 bit Windows 7 on my laptop - all went perfectly. Downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of 10.5.2 iTunes and located my library...the music plays fine but no videos. I opened iTunes in safe mode and it said that I needed the up to date version of Quick Time. Downloaded and installed that...no problems. Now my vidoes will play in the Quick Player but still not in iTunes! They apprear in the "Now Playing" pane but the timer doesn't move - even after pressing pause and play. Can anyone help me please? Do I need to open iTunes in 32 bit mode? If so, how do I do that in Windows 7? i can only find solutions for Mac's....
Thanks in advance

I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

Windows 7 x64 bit and iTunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS

Hello,
I'm sorry to bring this up again and I know the community has seen it a million times but I'm definately needing someone to point me in the right direction. I have an Acer 5552 Laptop with Windows 7 x64 bit. It does not have the Intel P55 chipset as what I have read before in these discussions, so updating the BIOS will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes x64 bit, removed and reinstalled the drivers and Apple Mobile Support software (which should do it by removing iTunes as a whole) and whenever I hook my iPhone to my laptop for a second sync it takes a long time to back up and then it gives an error, then when i try to connect it again iTunes says that the iPhone cannot be recognized and needs to be restored. I have done this 3 times in the past 2 months. This is a brand new laptop that I have. There should be no reason for this to happen unless I'm missing something. Is there any workaround to this? for the time being I'm syncing everything on an old, slow desktop that has Windows XP. It's worked with my old laptop which had XP on it great but sadly I gave my old laptop to my dad which he now uses to sync his iPhone with now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..also if anyone has the same laptop model I have and have Windows 7 x64 on it..please let me know what you did if you got your 3GS to sync all the time with no problems.
Thank you very much.

Flash Video fulll screen x86 and x64 bits

I was watching this video:
http://s1.animeid.com/video/561/naruto-shippuden-151.html
I am using this configuration:
Ubuntu 9.10 all updates
Linux Adobe Flash player 10 ( yes the official restricted)
Firefox Linux 3.5.8 Ubuntu Cannonical Version
Video Driver:
ATI FGLRX privative.
When I was about the minute 15, the computer restarts. And lost all of my work.
So my question is:
Is this a bug??
Does flash player 10 in linux is able to play videos around 20 or 30 minuts with no problem??
I have been watching short videos in youtube and no problem.
This is a problem also in linux x64 bits player.
In windows XP SP3 all updates and firefox 3 all updates does work correctly, so I guess is a linux flash player problem...
Thank you and let me know if I can do anything to help.

No worries. I appreciate the feedback, and just want to make sure I'm understanding the data that I'm collecting clearly.
We're aware that there are random short-lived problems that happen during transitions in and out of full-screen and scrubbing. We have a number of bugs open on the engineering team around it. In general, these are usually complex timing-related problem with a bunch of interrelated, moving parts (codec, network latency, buffering, stream quality, hardware, browser, etc). They're really hard to debug. It continues to be a big area of focus for both the dev and quality engineering teams, and something we're investing a lot of time and energy into improving.
Also, it's worth pointing out that we test a pretty large matrix of graphics cards, and we partner directly with many of the GPU vendors -- but there's a ton of fragmentation and we can't check every single card that's out there in the world. If we see a bunch of bugs coming in about a particular configuration, we do our best to track the card down and take a look.
If you find instances where you're able to reproduce playback problems consistently, please file a bug. Include a direct link to the video/videos that you can consistently reproduce the video problems with, and include the output of dxdiag (or the graphics card info from the System Information tool on Mac). OS and Browser versions are also very useful.
I'm not personally involved in the work around PPAPI for Flash Player, but we have a whole team working on building a great experience for Chrome and Pepper. Disabling PepperFlash where it's enabled will generally cause Chrome to fall back to the stanadard NPAPI-based Flash Player instead. Keep an eye out for announcements about preview releases for Flash Player on PPAPI -- I'm sure the team will appreciate your feedback once they become available.

After 3+ million records with our query we receive an Error 500 out of memory.
Under windows 32bit machine, we haven't encountered this issue regardless the size of data.
Any thoughts?

Hi Alex
As mentioned earlier Crystal Reports 9 and 10 are not tested platfrom with Windows Vista.
Try using Crystal Reports 2008 and check if you are facing any issues.
Hope this helps.
