Skype stops responding

Similar to another posts I've seen, my skype (latest version, just downloaded it) crashes when I open it, sometimes I can answer a call and it still crashes but I can hear and talk. Hope you can help, thanks.
PS: Tried this: "Open Windows Event Viewer -> Custom Views -> Administrative Events." There is no skype crash.

Hi,
Have you tried a quick clean reinstallation of Skype?
Please run the system Direct X Diagnostic tool (DxDiag.exe). Click 'Save all information' after completion to save it to a text file. Please then zip the file and post it here.

  • Skype stops responding after recent windows update

    Hi, I have just installed the latest windows update (through windows) and when it finished and my laptop rebooted skype would not longer launch, only telling me that it had stopped responding.

    Try first to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • Skype stops responding on first startup

    For the past few months, when I start Skype after turning on my computer, it starts fine, but when I try to make a call it stops reponding.  I have to go to task manager to stop the process, then when I start Skype again, it works fine.  This has been reproducible for over 5 months.  I cannto find any reference to Skype failing on initial startup.
    Any ideas?

  • Skype keeps crashing with "Skype has stopped responding" prompt

    I'm able to start up Skype for about 5 seconds before it locks and gives a "Stopped responding" prompt. I have checked from mobile, and no one has sent me the corrupted message everyone is talking about. Steps taken so far:Reinstalled SkypeUpdated Skype to current versionUpdated WindowsUsed cmd prompt to fix corrupted filesReset Skype settingsRestarted computerInstalled current version of Flash ActiveXI'm attaching my DxDiag. I am getting increasingly frustrated and would like to get this issue fixed before I uninstall Skype and give up on Microsoft's "help" altogether.

  • Everytime I try to copy and paste, Firefox stops responding. Why?

    Ever since I updated to the latest version of Firefox, if I try to copy and paste anything, Firefox stops responding. If I try to paste in another program such as Skype or AIM, that program stops responding too. What can I do to stop this?

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Powervault 124T stop responding at a precise hour

    Good day to all.
    I apologize if my English seems strange but I'm French and not that fluent.
    We have a LTO4 powervault 124 T that is behaving strangely : the network stops responding at 3:30 PM GMT and doesn't restart until we power cycle the device. But the backup is working perfectly so there is no issue regarding data backup. The problem is limited to the network.
    I tried to change the IP address, toggle between DHCP lease and fixed IP address, no result.
    Depending on the time we cycle power, the network stops the same day or the day after, but always at about 3:30 GMT (it can be a few minutes before that time, but it's  the time when I receive the alarm from our monitoring system).
    I found that if I telnet to the PV address, I get an response from a 'pinon debug terminal' but I don't know the password.
    So my questions are :
    Can someone here direct me to a possible solution to get the network back to a stable state ? I think about upgrading the FW but I'm surprised when I read that the file I can download from Dell website is 320 Mb big.
    How to know the telnet password ? Not sure it can help me troubleshooting the problem but I'm curious to see what this terminal can provide.
    Best regards.

    Hi again,
    I still suspect a faulty USB port.
    Your response is still a bit confusing, so just to be sure:
    - Did you also try a USB port on the backside of your Mac?
    (if your keyboard is usually connected to the frontside, and you normally plug the mouse into the keyboard, it doesn't help to try testing it by plugging it directly in the front port, if this port is faulty, it's still the same port. If this is your situation, definitely try a port on the back)
    - When you connected the other (older) mouse and keyboard, they were initially not recognized, but they were after rebooting, so did they function properly after this reboot? Did you connect these on the same port you usually connect your Logitec and keyboard to, or did you try different ports?
    - Do you have access to another mouse and or keyboard, which is 100% sure known to work perfectly on another computer? If yes, try this on your mac.
    - When you tried the mouse and keyboard on the Macbook Air, did you try it long enough to be 100%sure they work fine? Let's say at least 3-5 times longer then the average freezing intervals on your mac? (If you just tested briefly, you can't be sure.)
    - How does it freeze? The pointer just stops moving? or do you see a spinning beachball?
    Another thing:
    You are posting in the Power Mac forum
    you should actually post this in the Mac Pro forum
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/mac_pro
    although they look similar, the older Power Mac line were equiped with IBM PPC processor(s), and the newer Mac Pro line features Intel CPU's.
    You will likely get more help if you post in the right forum, which is more active.
    You can refer to this thread though

  • ITunes 10.6.1 x64 regularly stops responding.

    Hello -
    My name is Erick and I'm an ACMT/Network Engineer; Apple-certified, but not Apple-employed.
    I have experienced an issue with iTunes 10.6 in general that has not been resolved by the latest update to 10.6.1. Upon opening the iTunes application, it initially responds but within 15 seconds freezes and is Not Responding. The unresponsiveness lasts up to five full minutes, then the program begins working again. The issue appears to begin as the iTunes Match cloud icon begins animating and checking for updates to my music library.
    The same situation also occurs regularly if/when I make changed to a Smart Playlist. The program stops responding for up to five full minutes, then works properly.
    Here's some additional information about what I've already attempted in efforts to fix the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for how I might remedy this issue? While it's not crippling my use of the application entirely, it does cause unexpected headaches and delays, and it'd be great to fix it.
    I've attempted to resolve the issue by opening a new library and using it temporarily to test, rebuilding the library by starting fresh and importing from my iTunes Library file, and I've also attempted to use iTunes 10.6.1 from a different user account. Finally, I loaded iTunes 10.6.1 onto my external troubleshooting drive which is running the same OS. I've seen the issue persist in each situation. I've also attempted to run iTunes in 32-bit mode as I experienced some success with this fix related to other issues in the past.
    I am using an iMac 27" with the quad i7, 16GB, and a 1TB hard drive. All of my music is on iTunes Match and none of it is being stored locally on this machine. My TV and Movies are being stored on an external 2TB drive, as is the iTunes Library file itself.
    I would be happy to provide any logs or additional information that could help resolve this problem. I appreciate any assistance and hope to have this resolved at some point. My iMac is typically on 24/7 as it operates as a streaming server for services like StreamToMe, SugarSync, Plex, and other file services. Additionally, iTunes is typically open 24/7 to provide streaming ability to my Apple TVs (1080p versions), though I do have a scheduled task which exits and re-opens iTunes at 4:30AM to prompt syncing of my iOS devices before I head to work (putting the latest unwatched media on them).
    I'm sure some of this is unnecessary or extraneous information, but I wanted to be thorough in my explanation and context. Thanks again for your assistance, everyone.

    I have resolved my issue with iTunes' unresponsiveness and wanted to post the solution for anyone who might be experiencing similar symptoms. It was really quite simple to fix, I just didn't see it for what it was:
    iTunes Match was causing iTunes to stop responding for several minutes at a time, and several times a day.
    iTunes Match - which also forces Genius Mode to be on (something that used to cause my iTunes 10.5 to freeze before I turned it off) - would regularly attempt to refresh my database of 21,000 matched songs (none of which were stored on the computer - just in the cloud) and when it would attempt to update or refresh that library, the program would stop responding.
    The constant queueing of iTunes Match / Genius also caused iTunes to consume a significant amount of RAM - something that was also causing issues and which I posted about in another discussion.
    So, the simple solution was this: Turn iTunes Match off and iTunes quits freezing.
    Now, that of course completely eliminates the usefulness of iTunes Match since the music is no longer accessible on this machine in this iTunes Library. So how to restore its usefulness without recreating the problem? Slightly more aggravating, but still working right: I created a separate, fresh new library and named it iTunes Match. When I need music, I hold option when selecting the iTunes app and select my Match Library, which has NOTHING else in it but iTunes Match. When I'm done with the music, I switch back to my 24/7 media streaming library that has my 2TB of TV Shows & Movies (and device sync relationships) in it.
    It doesn't seem like iTunes Match causes freezing and RAM ballooning all by itself, it just seems like in a library that's also full of other stuff, it's the final straw that kills the performance. Split the libraries up and things seem to work really well in both.
    Not a perfect solution, but until the next release of iTunes, this may be the best bet. I hope this helps someone else out there, but it at least cleared up my issue. Thanks for reading.

  • HP LaserJet P4015 stopped responding

    We have rolled out HP LaserJet P4015 in our entire School District.  We have printer communication issue with this printer.  It just stopped responding. have tried different versions of Driver, we have updated the firmware, too.  Everytime we change the driver it will work and then stopped again.  Is there anybody here experiencing the same problem? 

    I am having the same problem with my P2015dn.  Looking at the posts indicate a number of models are having this problem.  Mine workvia USB just fine.  I can ping the printer, the router shows the printer, the printer shows ready but won't print and if you delete the printer and try and then go back to add printer - it is not found.  Judging by the recent flourish of posts, I expect the answer will have something to do with the recent Windows Updates but nothing yet on the HP or Microsoft sites - just a lot of frustration and time wasted on the part of their customers!  I hope some one has ideas

  • I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding."  I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

  • Quicktime Export Error: "An output module stopped responding."

    I'm experiencing an odd export error whenever I use any Quicktime codecs:
    "After Effects error: An output module stopped responding. The file may be damaged or corrupted. You may need to restart After Effects."
    Similarly, Adobe Media Encoder hangs when outputting to Quicktime codecs. Neither program makes any progress at all before the hang occurs. At that point, I have to manually "end task" to exit. Also, it doesn't seem to matter what I try to export. In AME, for example, I can simply try to convert one video format to another and have it hang, so I don't think the problem is due to a problem with the source settings or effects. Also, I'm not attempting any multiprocessing since I don't really have enough RAM for that. Other output modules work, so I'm just exporting image sequences for the time being.
    System specs:
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Intel i7-2600k processor
    8 GB RAM
    GTX 580 GPU
    Software:
    Adobe CS6
    AE Plugins include Tracode Suite 12 and Optical Flares
    Quicktime 7.7.3
    Any thoughts on this? I've seen very few references to this error in other places, and not really found a solution that seems to apply to my situation. Thanks in advance for your help.
    Josh

    Thanks for setting me in the right direction. Clicking through to the 25 :: 101 error page (http://myleniumerrors.com/2013/01/06/25-101-4/) led me to a reference about other software, such as remote access software, using the same ports that AE needs for communication with its various processes. In my case, LogMeIn was the culprit. I had no idea that AE even used TCP for these types of operations, so that's very helpful to know.
    *EDIT*
    That worked temporarily, and now it doesn't work. I ran into a similar effect when I first disabled the Windows Firewall. But of course, as I type this and piddle around, it works again. It SEEMS like if I open AME and click into the output settings and scrub through the video preview, it makes everything work when I go to actually export. That's exactly the type of thing I would say is completely unrelated under normal circumstances, but at the moment all I know is that it is currently working and I don't want to test anything else until I finish the rendering I need to accomplish today. I'll work on it more later and post an update at that time.
    Thanks,
    Josh
