Skype No longer works in Windows, So I've upgraded...

I've used Skype (with Skype credit to contact family and friends whilst on holiday) My netbook was running Microsh*te XP, but now it seems Skype no longer works, version 6.1.18 prompted to update, and would not allow me to continue using it, the new updated version doesn't work with XP, so I tried backdating to an even older version 6.1.14, but alas it's been deactivated, so I'm not replacing my netbook with a new one, nor do I want to spend as much money as my computer is worth to buy Windows 7 and attemp install on my 10" netbook with a minimal 1GB of RAM.
So alas I upgraded... to... Linux Mint Kde (Rebecca) and now...
Voila! Skype works perfectly

All the old computers I own branded or unbranded have been fully compatible with XP SP3. If for some reason you couldn't get your computer functional in XP SP3, you could always utilize the workaround I posted here to modify XP SP2 just enough to make Skype functional. I have a triple XP OS boot computer (XP 64-bit SP2, XP 32-bit SP2 [with workaround], XP 32-bit SP3) and they all operate just fine with the latest release of Skype (7.1).

Skype no longer working on my pc

I have been away for several weeks with PC switched off and when I returned Skype was no longer working on my PC. I still had the Skype icon on my desk top but all I get is " Windows can't find C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe."
I have downloaded it again and followed all the installation steps but I still just get the Skype icon and the same message. Skype was working fine before I went away. I have never had problems with downloading Skype before. Any suggestions?

Most likely this is your case too (TuneUp "miracle" tool):

W520 webcam no longer working after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Hello,
I upgraded my w520 from Win 7 to Win 8 last year with zero problems.
Now I upgraded my W520 Win 8 to Win 8.1 via the store download. Except the webcam everything works fine.
In e.g. the Skype desktop application, Google Hangouts or the camera app, the built in webcam no longer works.
The green light turns on, but I just get the crossed out camra icon in e.g. the Skype video options. No video.
I see there are no drivers yet for Win 8.1 on the Lenovo support site for the w520 camera.
In device manager it still shows the 2011 camera driver 1.1.0.1147 and says "This device is working properly."
But it does not work properly.
Did anyone get the camera to work or is it just a matter of waiting for a driver to be released eventually?
I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, camera is enabled in the Bios and permissions are set to give Skype and the camera app access to the camera. I also tried the W530 drives as was suggested elsewhere.
Thank you!
Solved!

ICloud email no longer working on Window 7.8 Phone

I have been receiving my Apple emails on my Windows 7.8 Phone successfully for the last 2 years. About 3 months ago emails could no longer be sent or received and I typically get the following error codes dependant upon how I have my IMAP/SMTP settings configured; 800c2746 or 80072FA8.
Apple email is working fine from my Android tablet and also from my Windows 7 PC and I've tried replicating these settings on my phone without success. I've googled the problem and tried all the different set up options I can find but not have worked. I'm beyond frustrated now and I suspect Apple has broken something during the recent iCloud work for IOS or Yosemite as nothing has changed on any of my devices and it's only my Windows phone that no longer works.
Does ANYONE have a Windows 7 Phone (mine is a Nokia 800) that is successfully sending and receiving iCloud emails as of today, 2nd November 2014. If you do would you be kind enough to tell me what server settings you are using.
Thanks.

We have exatcly the same problem with Samsung omnia 7 (Windows phone 7.8).
We are using the Server settings from this page: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
We have this problem since mid september and no solution.

CP60-615DX Touchpad and external mouse no longer work after WIndows 7 SP1 update

Let me start by saying I am in the IT field, though clearly far from being great at it. I was updating a CP60-615DX at work with Win 7 x64 SP1. It installed with no errors or anything I'd consider abnormal. Once it was finished, the touchpad no long worked, as well as any mouse I'd hook up via Usb. So I checked Device manager, and the Touchpad is listed with the yellow exclamation mark, as well as mice I hook up. So I did what any respectable IT guy would do, I went to HP and downloaded x64 drivers for the Touchpad port and installed them. But they didn't fix the issue, literally nothing happened. So I installed the latest chipset drivers. Still nothing changed. So I uninstalled the device and manually added it by doing the advanced driver install for a new device, pointing it to the directory where the .exe file had placed the drivers. ...Nothing. So I uninstalled SP1,.... nothing. After uninstalling SP1, redid every aforementioned step, nothing. So my question is, **bleep**? Anyone know another way to fix an issue where the scrolling devices stop working and the drivers won't fix the issue?
Btw, the user had never set up windows restore, and my only other thought is pulling personal documents off and restoring to factory defaults. One more bit of info before I forget, when I went into Windows Recovery (which loads a pre-environment mini OS for you to restore and fix issues), the mouse worked, telling me it's not a hardware issue, it's a Windows vs devices issue.

Hi,
According to your description, since system reinstallation is not helpful, it's probably a hardware problem, it would be better to check if it is the device itself problem.

DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

GPIB-ENET driver 1.10 no longer works under Windows 2000 service pack 2

I have used my GPIB-ENET adapters with Windows 2000. However, since I installed service pack 2, the GPIB driver 1.10 no longer works. It seems to install correctly and puts the GPIB icon in the Control Panel. After a reboot, however, the icon is gone from the control panel ! It is even gone from the install/remove programs box. I have tried this on two PC's with the same result. This is really bad as my GPIB-ENET boxes are now useless. Can you help with this?

Thanks for the advice, but the 1.20 drivers cannot be downloaded. They must be purchased for $80 US. I have already paid many thousands of dollars for three GPIB-ENET adapters plus LabVIEW. This is really shabby. I know of no other company that charges for driver updates once you have bought the hardware. I should have bought the Tektronix adapters instead.

off my disk.

Remote Desktop "Bypass RD gateway server for local addresses" no longer working in Windows 8

Hi,
After installing windows 8, it seems like the "Bypass RD gateway server for local addresses" is no longer working.
In Windows 7, when the option is checked, I could have the server name set always and the client will automatically detect whether to use the RD gateway or not. For example, from my house, if I am connecting to a computer at my work, which requires
the RD gateway, it will automatically pops up the dialog for authentication method. However, if I connect to a computer in my home network, it will just automatically connects without asking authentication for the RD gateway.
However, after installing windows 8, this does not seem to work as expected anymore. The option is checked but the Windows Security dialog pops up in both situations and so i have to either save the rdp file locally and pin it to the taskbar or switch between
disabling and enabling the RD gateway whenever I need to connect to different machines.
Is this a regression in Windows 8? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Thanks

Another way to resolve this issue for me, beside of configuring RDP to connect directly to server also on unmanaged network, will be to turn the "wifi" subnet in a managed network, as the "wired" subnet is.
The differences between thoses to subnets, dynamically assigned by the same DHCP server, are:
The "wifi" is in a private IP range, the "wired" is in a public IP range
There's an ACL on the "wifi" subnet, not on the "wired"
The next step is to compare frames send/received when on the two networks. Something will likely tell for the network to be managed.
Beside, I'm still searching informations about NLA, which is responsible for setting a nework as managed or not.
Here are some clues:
