Skype problems for Windows 8

Does anyone know why every time I go to load up Skype it crashes and says that it can not load and has to close down the program?

Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool. 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.

  • Skype WiFi for Windows Phone

    How do I download Skype WiFi on my Windows phone, when I tap download Skype Wifi from my Windows phone it goes to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-wifi/id444529922?mt=8

    2014-08-04. Yesterday i was in great need of Skype WIFI on Heathrow. But no! Microsoft/Skype still don't have Skype wifi for Windows Phone but has it for all competing mobile platforms! How does that make sense? If MS won't support Windows Phone, who will??
    Maybe it is as it should be? I had this discussion with a gentleman that was sincerely convinced, there has been a major policy change at Microsoft HQ regarding Skype. He belived the buy of Skype insyead really was a kind of a hostile buy, in order to close Skype as it it is shaped today, instead in a future introduce a new type of coomunication programme similar to Skype, but totally different and more profitable and when launched a closure/abandoment of Skype will be done.
    I don't know, but it was a really well suited gentleman...

  • Nvidia Geforce 650m driver problem for windows 8.1 on macbook pro

    Hey guys. I installed windows 8.1 on my macbook pro (mid2012, Intel core i7, retina, Geforce 650m) of course only for game, but I have a disappointing problem with the graphics driver. First I tried to instal graphics card driver by bootcamp (not the last version, the one before the last) .It started to install drivers one by one starting with graphics card, but suddenly the screen got black and remained black forever! I restarted the windows and guess what! after windows logo it got black and nothing more! Then I installed windows again and tried to install driver from windows update. It checked for update and found the driver for it and downloaded it and started to install, but again the black screen !!! Please help me thanks.

    no this does not work. bootcamp drivers are broken for windows 8.1 on an efi install. apple is withholding the discreet gpu drivers from microsoft to trick people into thinking osx is more stable/efficient and thus windows cannot detect which gpu it is supposed to use when it can see both. the discreet gpu is hidden in the fake bios setup that bootcamp wants you to install with. the problem with doing this is that the more powerful gpu is all you can use in windows so the computer runs more hot and is louder which is annoying and hard on the battery life.
    thanks apple, if i knew that when i bought the laptop i would have gone with something else.
    This is not correct. If you force an EFI installation on a preUEFI Mac, you will see GPU and Audio errors. A non-EFI Hybrid MBR installation works correctly. Does Windows have the ability to switch GPUs? OS X, using external monitors, uses the non-Intel discreet GPU and the machine does not run hot. If Windows can provide dual-GPU support (which they have) and also provide GPU-switching (missing), this can be done. Can it be done for older hardware, highly unlikely. MacRumors has threads with PCI Register changes to expose the Intel GPU and the machine still runs hotter.

  • Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

    Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me.  This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
    First, a little background.
    1:  The server is not on a domain,  The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network.  They would prefer to
    leave this layout intact. 
    2:  The shared folders are nothing but Data files.  There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment.  They are mostly Word doc, excel
    files, pdf, txt, etc.  However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
     reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
    I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using  WebDAV to access the server.  But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
    3:  The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
    access is through an ISP that blocks port 445.  This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
    When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors.  While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
    purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
    As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others  are still stuck in Windows 8.0.  The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
    depending on the Make and model of the laptop.  I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1.  But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
    On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7.  There has been no change.  Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual. 
    Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked.  Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
    Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected.  Same results as Windows 7. 
    Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems.  The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
    of all.  The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”.  As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
    Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly.  All of
    them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
    Nothing on the server has changed in any way.  Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems,  Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well.  Only those with Windows
    8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
    I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications.  I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
    for every system using 8.1.  The mapped drive letters invariably disappear.  Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots. 
    One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
    minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them.  Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal.  But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
    I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution.  I would even be glad
    to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work.  My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
    I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in.  I can say that this was the
    one place where things continued to work as before.  People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
    Any suggestions appreciated.  Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure.  This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
    extreme measures would be hard to justify

    Hi，
    I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
    Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
    Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

  • Desktop Skype Phones for Windows 8

    Hi All, I've downloaded Skype on my desktop for Windows 8 (I wasn't too happy with the app). I use a Skype number through my laptop (used as a server) which is shared between me and another individual in my office. I wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to get a USB Phone that we could use for this skype account so that either of us can answer the call or dial out from it? Any help would be great thanks.

    If you want to resort to using a USB-based Skype phone or adapter, I would suggest getting one that works in conjunction with SkypeMate.  That 3rd party application tends to get updated enough to be compatible with some Skype 6.x releases whereas other USB phones I've seen tend to discontinue support and only work up to the release when they were discontinued.
    For more information on your options, please read my responses in the following thread:

    Hi All,
    In our clients locations we implemented eap-fast authentication with domain integration in ACS for wlan users.Every thing working fine.We are facing problem with windows 7 laptops, in which client utility is not available to configure the user profiles.
      In xp laptops client utility softwares are available with all makes, but with win 7 utilitys are not coming by default......
    So what are options and available sourses for creating user profile with EAP-FAST in windows 7 laptops.
    Any free univarsal client utility is available for windows 7 laptop.
    Please guide me..............
    -Subhash

    Windows 7 should be able to do EAP-fast by default. If not you could download the latest Anyconnect client that also has the Cisco wireless supplicant in it.

  • ITunes download problem for Windows 7 and errors

    I’m running Windows 7 32-bit.  When I try to download iTunes, I keep gettingan error messages.
    This is the error message that I get when I try to download:
                An error occurredduring the installation of assembly “Microsoft. VC80. CRT. Type = “win32”. Version= “8.0.50727.6195”. public KeyToken = “1cf8b3b9a1e18e3b”. processorArchitecture= “x86””.  Please refer to Help andSupport for more information HRESULT: 0x8007054F

    iTunes.exe Entry Point Not Found
                Theprocedure entry point KCMByterStreamNotification_AvailiableLengthChanged couldnot be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll.
    Here is a third error message that I get:
                iTunes wasnot installed correctly.  Pleasereinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows errer127)

    Same problem. I think it's related to a problem with the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable package. 
    What version do you guys have instaled of the Visual C++ 2005 Redist?
    If you go into control panel, uninstall a program.  Go down to Microsoft, you should see it
    mine says 8.0.50727.4053
    The error seems to mention .6195
    Does any one have any idea what that means?
    i'm pretty sure if i uninstall the 2005 Redistrib, i won't be able to reinstall it.  That's my curret situation with the 2008 package so i'm afraid to uninstall the 2005 although it's not helping me by leaving it...

  • SQL Developer install problems for Windows 7 Home edition

    Hi there,
    I understand Windows 7 64-bit is not supported for oracle 11gR2 but I installed it anyway.
    This is not my problem.
    I am trying to install SQL Developer and am getting this error when I click on the set up:
    Unable to launch the Java Virtual machine, located at path:
    C:\Program Files(x86)Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\msvcr71.dll
    When I check the version of my java it is correctly displaying 1.6.0_21 for my 64 bit.
    I read that you need the 32 bit one installed as well and I do. In my Program Files there is a java and a \jdk1.6.0_21 folder. In the bin directory it does not have this .dll:
    msvcr71.dll
    Is that the problem, because i have heard of other people getting sql developer working on their Windows 7 home laptops but they are old posts and I'm not getting any reply.
    I also changed the Environmental variable for the path, such as:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21 /bin
    and none of the 3 above worked for me either.
    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I unzipped the sql developer download to C:\Windows and it unzipped fine. I went into my folder of sql developer, double clicked the sql developer.exe and it asked for the path for java. I clicked Browse and the default was C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin so I chose the java from this folder. It accepted the argument, tried to start sql developer, and came up with the same error, so something is still not right that I am not understanding??
