Skype Translator Preview hangs on first use after install.

Hi, I am trying to install Skype Translator Preview. I downloaded it from the store and have installed it.   It hangs on the first use with the constant circle icon.  I am using Windows 10 tech Preview 10074 build.  I have successufly uninstalled and rebooted and attempted to reinstall with the same issues. What seems to be the problem preventing it from running?

Hi Olivier, I am also experiencing the issue reported by Scottthetravel.  Like Scott I am on the 10074 build and when I launch Skype Translator it just gets stuck on the launch screen with the spinning circle. If it's like other builds of Skype I suspect that it asks for permission to use the microphone/webcam as part of the startup process.  Unfortunately I'm not getting that far - I'm just stuck on the launch splash screen. Like Scott I have also tried uninstalling/shutting down all flavors of Skype (modern, desktop, SFB, etc.), rebooting my machine, etc. and I haven't found a combination that works. I've checked my Sound settings and my Netcom GN 2000 USB headset is listed as the default device for both recording and playback. Any other thoughts on other things we should be trying? Sam

    I had previously installed ST via the company portal. I uninstalled it and went to the Store to get the new ST Preview. The Store says "You own this product and you can install it on this device" (which is a Surface Pro 3 with W10 Preview Build 10061). When I click Install, it thinks for a few seconds, then says "Try that again. See details." When I click See details, I get a popup window that says "Try that again. Something went wrong. The error code is 0x80248008, in case you need it." Anyway, how can I get the latest and greatest ST? And is there a way to get updates automatically?

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

    We're sorry.

    Hi,
    Are you trying to remove Skype entirely, or just get rid of the tool tray icon?
    IIRC, you get that icon as long as Skype is running in the background.  There's a checkbox in Skype options that will keep it from running on startup.  That will eliminate the icon but you won't get notified for incoming calls.

  • After first restart after installing Mavericks the system can't identify the internal MacBook Monitor anymore

    I am writing this using an external monitor in the office from my MacBookPro 8,1 (April 2011). After installing the upgrade the monitor worked fine. After shutting down the system and restarting it the next day the apple sign was shown for some seconds, then - I assume this was the time when the operating system was was finished loading, the screen went black and stayed that way.I the attached screen shot one can see that only one external monitor is identified (sorry for the german language). Anyone has any idea what to do except downgrading using time-machine? this is what I am about to do. thanks for any help or ideas!

    The auto-conversion to core storage is not a bug anymore than the automatic drive encryption during the Setup Assistant unless you pay close attention. Apple is giving you the push into the future of OS X.
    Furthermore, Apple does not really support Linux, ESP, or rEFInd. Windows is only supported via Boot Camp on a drive that has only one extant partition - OS X. The consequence of this is that Apple will not test this other configurations for any compatibility with OS X. We may not like that but it is what it is.
    I am quite familiar with configuring multi-boot volumes like yours, so please don't call me a fanboy because I don't see things all your way.

  • I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

    I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

    Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
    Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation.  They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 6 you can do so at Download CS6 products.

  • "System extension cannot be used" after installing iTunes 11.4

    Installing latest version of iTunes (11.4) today led to the following error message:
    System extension cannot be used
    The system extension “//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.
    I'm able to use my USB drive for Time Machine, and that appears to be functioning ok.  Why this error message?  Anyone else had it?  And what does it mean for the continued safe operation of my MacBook?  Would be reassuring to know if this is happening for anybody else, and if anyone else has found it affecting them. (Other than the distraction of getting a worrying error message that I take time out to report?)
    Thanks in advance.

    the "//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext can just be replaced to overcome the problem as indicated below. Mine was dated 2012 and after the latest iTunes update, stopped working. I noticed this as my personal hotspot connection between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone failed (I use the USB cable for this). To overcome the problem, first unlock the //System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file, then drag it to the waste bin and empty the waste bin. Then download iTunes and reinstall-you don't have to remove anything-just reinstall. This will put back a newer //System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file dated 2014. After this, restart your computer and it should now work. I checked the personal hotspot connection via my USB cable and this is what I'm using now writing and posting this. So Good luck. Hopefully Apple will fix this bug in the next update.

  • Freeze (not reponding) on first launch after installing Firefox 4 beta 5

    The window "Firefox Update" just after downloading and installing the latest beta (beta 5) is freezing.
    Using about 50% of the CPU ...
    Any clues?

    No, that's not it. I tried both ways: 64-bit flash plugin, with Firefox in 64-bit mode. Latest 32-bit flash plugin with flash in 32-bit mode. No go.
    I see the first frame of the video. Video does not update except in chunks, portions of the screen, every few seconds. Sometimes there is no audio.
    Curiously, other video sites, such as vimeo, are fine. Also, some embedded youtube videos on other sites are also fine. But the problem is consistently there on youtube.com.

  • Lingoes translation does not connect to site after install Firefox 4 & after restore to 3.6.16, why?

    Running Windows Vista Home Premium on a dual processor with 4 GB of RAM and a HD with 50% empty. Yesterday downloaded Firefox 4 only to find that Lingoes translation software that must connect to the web site for the translations could not; as some other privacy software (GoogleShare & Tor) could no longer be used decided to restore to Firefox 3.6.13, subsequently updated to 3.6.16. While GoogleShare & Tor now function, Lingoes still does not.

    Simply download the latest version, Lingoes 2.8, which provides a firefox plug-in to support the feature of text capture.

  • Error on first reboot after install

    Hi folks,
    Hopefully someone can help me with this.
    I am new to Solaris and unix in general, please bear with me.
    I downloaded the ISO images for 8 2/02 and burned the disks. I installed from Software disk 1. The install proceeded normally as far as I can tell (oddly the first time I attempted an install using the disk marked INSTALLATION (stupid me), the install failed, this time it worked, I think) but when the system reboots, and attempts to load the OS, I get this:
    "Starting Weblauncher....
    Thye webstart launcher has terminated unexpectedly.
    Press return key and a system reboot will take place on your machine"
    I tried several reboots but, I continue to get the same message.
    Any suggestions?
    This system has previously run both Win2000 server and Linux so, I am pretty sure my HW is ok.
    Thanks, Chris

  • Hal.dll is missing after first boot after installing Windows

    I've used Boot Camp Assistant to resize my existing Macintosh HD (even though I left 700GB free space on the disk in Disk Utility during setup; it would only allow me to resize an existing disk). I then let it reboot and started XP setup fine. Chose the correct partition and formatted as NTFS (since it's larger than 32GB), went through copying all the files successfully, and after it automatically rebooted, I get this:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
    Please re-install a copy of the above file.
    I've been following the documentation which is pretty thin when it comes to the actual install. It gives the impression "everything just works" but in my case it doesn't. How do you actually install Windows on a Mac and have it be able to boot after the apparently-successful installation process?

    It may be my fault because I did a full format, and when it took so long, I rebooted, deleted the partition, and recreated it and told it to do a quick format. The instructions say not to create or delete a partition "other than as noted" in the picture or else I could lose my system partition. I didn't lose that but my problems might have been another result of my doings.

  • PowerMac Dual 1.25- hangs, doesn't respond, after installing Leopard

    Installed Leopard and computer continually hangs ..stops responding. Try re-installing leopard (3 times) with no change in results.
    Also tried teh Dsicussion Forum's suggestion to change of DiVX Networks folder... "sudo mv "/Library/Application Support/DivXNetworks" "/Library/Application Support/DivXNetworks.prev" ..It doesn't exist in my computer.
    Ran disk utility's "repair permissions" and got following message - "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Remote Managemetn/ARDAgent...."
    No other indications as to why or when will the computer hangs..not respond.
    Apple's help on what seems a pretty large number of Leopard hang and non-respond issues would be greatly appreciated.
    J

    Wanted to add the following to my post....
    By hang or computer not responding, I mean the beach ball shows up and nothing happens.
    - Force quit doesn't do anything. Application or document remains open....Most times Force Quit doesn't recognize app or application as "not responding."
    - Doesn't eject disk 50% of the time.
    - Can hang or not respond at any time or any conditions...no pattern as to number of application are open. It stop responding with one or five apps or documents opened
    - Apple feedback is not working ...won't forward or send problems ...it hangs
    - Tried loading software with no other hardware attached - made no difference.
    - 75% of computer shutdowns result in computer in computer not responding and having to do a "hard shutdown."

  • Cannot Use After Install

    Once I have Aperture 1.0 installed and I try to start the program it says I do not meet the minimum requirements. I have the new 2.0 Alum iMac with 3gb of RAM which more than meets the requirements. When I check the requirements it shows the video cards you can use and the ATI 2400HD is not on the list. Would this be my problem? Or would I have better luck with 1.5?

    Aperture 1.0 will not run on an Intel Mac - you need to run the 1.5.6 updater from http://www.apple.com/aperture/download/ before trying to use Aperture.

  • HT1926 I am running Windows XP SP3 at first running after Install - splash screen cannot be removed so that I can start to import disks.  Stanley

    I am running Windows XP SP3. Every time I go to the "Music" category so that I can Import CDs and then subsequently play my music, the Tutorial Splash Screen gets in the way and I cannot seem to get rid of it...Since I like iTunes 9 layout - that is the one that I dowloaded and installed.  Help please the Splash Screen is "bugging me"

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
