Skype stops sending messages/call stops/unable to ...

So I've had this issue for about 3 months now and I believe it's ever since it automatically updated to 7.0. 
The first time I noticed it happen was when messages would not send via my desktop but would do on my phone. The circle motion would be sat by the message on the chat window and would not have sent. I check my phone and the convo had still been going on but my message had not sent (Group convo of about 10 people).
Next time it happened was instantly as I tried to log on. It would not be signing in at all, just sat at the signing in page and not responding. - I get a call via my phone on skype but not on my desktop. Frustratingly requiring to be on my desktop so I could do work while on skype - I had to reboot my computer to fix this, causing me to delay things for another 5-10 mins while my PC rebooted and I signed onto skype.
The last time was today, I went about going to skype - It didn't sign in when I needed to be in a call with 4 other people. Reboot my computer. Fine, I'll deal with it, starts working. 2 hours into that call however, the thing just stops sending me the information but doesn't freeze up - I get messages via another means saying that they can still hear me and see me but I can't hear them - 2 minutes later they say that it's frozen up and I've left the call. Now, I know the only solution is to reboot my computer but I am fed up of having to do so whenever skype decides it doesn't want to play ball with me.
I have tried every solution to fix it such as default settings, clearing temp/cache files and even reinstalls. But everything while my PC is running after it's 'crashed' (It doesn't exactly crash, just loses some kind of connection), once I reboot it seems to work fine. I have no idea what it is that's causing it - It literally just stops wanting to send or receive data. I've lived in this place since September 2014 and it only has started happening, I mention this as I live in student appartment block. 
I hope that someone out there knows or understands what I'm trying to say or do here - and I guarantee you that I've tried ever sort of solution. Even deleting shared.xml and such. 
I don't want to have to reboot my PC every time it decides it doesn't want to behave, it's frustrating when I'm in the middle of something and really shouldn't be the solution to my problem everytime.
EDIT: Running on Windows 7 Ultimate x64

sorry I don't have your answer but I am havng similar problem. I have no access to video call and my video icon has a red slash in echo test section. also on sound check with echo test my message did not play back.  I just had my computer retored and now have IE9. don't know if this has anything to do with it. when I first logged on I saw a flash that said NO SKYPE HOME. also looking for answers.

  • Iphone sending messages/calls in old name

    So I have upgraded to iphone 5 and passed my iphone 4 onto family member including my old sim card. All settings are changed to new account, apple id is different and so is icloud registration.
    Whenever I save my old number as new name in new phone. Messages and calls are received in my name and not the new name. Icloud accounts etc are all unlinked.
    Thanks.

    When this happens, it may not be your system that is sending out the bad emails. They may have picked up your email address from someone else's Address Book and are sending out emails and spam using forged email headers.
    If you or someone you know can get hold of one of the bad emails, view the full headers, and you can sometimes see where it came from. You can try complaining to the ISP that runs that block of addresses.
    You may need to "cut-and-paste" the full headers into a new email and send it to the webmaster of the ISP hosting that block of addresses.

    Hello:
    I would trot back into the Apple store and have them fix the problem (or call Applecare with a warranty issue).  There is no sense in you wasting your time trying to troubleshoot things on a new computer.

  • Sender JDBC channel stop send messages

    Hi,
    We have  a sender JDBC scenario which is working correctly time ago.
    However, sometimes this channel   stop sending messages although the Adapter Monitor shows that they regularly execute the polling interval.
    We have confirmed that there isn't any connection from XI to target BD.
    In other ocasions, we  are required to restart XI and, after that, this scenario works without any problem.
    What could be the cause?
    How to solve it?
    thanks, in advance
    Carme

    This is rather strange.
    A few of my observations -
    1. When the sender jdbc adapter polls , and there is no data matching the select query, you will still see a message id in Comm Channel Monitoring but with no hyper link.
    2. The actual message id / message is created only if there is data in the database and also the hyper link is enabled.
    3. If you are confident that the data is being commited on the database and that it is XI not pulling the right data, one issue might be - driver issues. Can you check if you have the right compatible drivers for your database on XI server - is there a new'er driver available?
    We hit a similar issue with JMS adapters and we learnt that the JMS server had been updated as a result of which a new driver had to be installed which we did not until we hit intermittent problems like these.
    Hope this helps

  • Iphone 5 sending messages without my knowledge. How can I stop this?

    Iphone 5 is sending messages without my knowledge to numbers that I don't recognize. How do I stop this?

    If you are using the phone on a carrier that doesn't officially support iPhones, the phone will send SMS messages to an activation number. If that's the case, your option is to turn off iMessage.

    Is there sa setting so that Imessage on mac can be the same as iphone.... I need to be able to send messages as i would via iphone, with differnt data on different lines, therefore using the RTN key to go to the next line?

    Hi this is Interesting and thank you for your support till now.
    It has for sure to do with the screen resolution...after I unplugged it and rebooted everything worked fine. Now I connected the screen again and have set the resolution down to 1600x1024 and that also worked... after that I setted the resolution back to 1650x1050 and it still runs, also after a few reboots...
    As soon as it will give some errors I will update to the latest skype and will do the same 'tricks' ... because I had skype 7.xxx installed before , without succes... lets see how long my skype runs properly

  • "Cannot send message..." dialog stopped describing error in 10.4

    Previous to 10.4, Mail had basically the same "Cannot send message..." dialog box. You know, the one that lets you choose a different server, "Try Again Later" or "Edit Message". Anyway, back in Panther days, it would give you the actual error message, like these for example:
    554 Service unavailable; Client host blocked using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
    550 Invalid recipient: Recipient address rejected
    I suspect it was removed due to how un-consumer-friendly those message can be, but does anyone know of a secret preference or a plist edit I can do to get these back? They are indispensable when troubleshooting.
    PowerBook G4 12" 867 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   1 GB, 60 GB, AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth

    Keep me in the loop to, I also like to know these techincal messages that may be helpful to my IT dept in the office; Because of this elimination in v10.4.3, for one period of time my Mail cannot send out external email outside of my office... and we went from "A to Z" trying to figure out what happen, in the end it was a simple change of MAC ID, because the IT dept finally realised I have actually changed my G4 to a G5 (machine upgrade), had those messages be available, it may cut down their time
    Cheers
