Skype maxes a cpu core periodically for several seconds and does not respond

Skype 7.7.85.103 uses a lot of cpu periodically, and is not reacting for several seconds.
I am not sure, if this is related to advertisements changing in these intervals, but if it is, then this should not be happening.
I already did a clean install (inclusive removing EVERYTHING from the registry), and it did not help.
I tried as administrator - once again, it did not help.
It is less visible when I am connected to a powersource, as the cpu is then going faster, but it still happens.
And it is not the first version that has had this problem.
In case it may help, there is the dxdiag.txt attatched.

hello, in order to further diagnose the issue, could you run firefox in safe mode once & see if the problem is occuring there too. please report back afterwards, thank you...

  • My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

    My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black.  Thanks!

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

    I ended up on this link, which related to my problem:

    When I got to step #3 (While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.) my Ipod would not turn on, and Itunes did not recognize my Ipod. :S

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

    Thanks, AM_Kidd, I had tried that before but I tried again and this time it WORKED!!!!
    The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.
    Phew! It may be that it had been on charge for the last 30 mins.
    Whatever. Again, many thanks.

  • I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.

    What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
    A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
    How is it setup?
    I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
    I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

  • HT2622 mac mini displays gray screen and says to restart computer by holding down restart button for several seconds.  Will not boot.

    My mac mini will not display home screen. When I turn it on and try to reboot it, there is a gray sceen that is displayed and then a message to restart by holding the power button for several seconds. This shuts down the computer, but then the above problem repeats.

    If the message you're getting is in several languages, that's a kernel panic. Kernel panics are usually, but not always, caused by hardware, with memory a leading cause. If you have a mid-2010 mini, you can easily reseat the memory (remove and reinstall) .... mini's prior to that are a bit more involved to open the case.
    See this FAQ on resolving kernel panics.

  • When I connect my Time Machine it appears mounted several times and does not back up.

    Two weeks ago when I connected my external hard drive containing my Time Machine, the drive was listed several times in my finder sidebar with one mounting in the regular teal color and the other seemingly faded but still clickable. The Time Machine says that it is backing up but hasn't since then. I hadn't changed any Time Machine settings nor touched the external hard drive in any way that I could explain why this is suddenly happening. When I eject the machine I have to force eject every instance of it listed.
    I've had this Time Machine for over two years now and have never had a problem with it. While I could hypothetically rewrite the whole Time Machine if that would fix the answer, I would rather not lose those two years of information. I've yet to find any other cases of this and am not sure exactly what is even happening, so any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Ooops!
    First Timer mistake.
    Sorry.

  • What do I need to do to power off my Ipad.  It has a message on the screen that it has not been backed up by icloud for two weeks and will not respond to anything.

    I charged my Ipad last night and this morning there was a message from icloud that it has not been backed up for two weeks.  I tried to click the ok but it will not respond.  I cannot even power off the Ipad.  Does anyone know what I should do?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

  • Firefox 4 for the Mac OSX is hanging much too often and does not respond to the "QUIT" Command for a time, i dont know if this is just me, but im running Quad Core i5 2.6ghz and 8 GB RAM the Graphics card is the Macbook Pro factory one

    this happens when the browser opens websites in tabs after a period of time, i dont know how the Hang occurs but FF4 is not secure enough for me, so i downgraded to FF3.6 just for stability.
