Skype "updates" every time I open it

Hi.
Every time I open Skype for the first time that day, it says there's an update and gives me the option to update when Skype is closed or skip that update. I usually choose the former, but the next time I open Skype it asks me again (unless it's on the same day). My current version is 6.19 (442). The version doesn't change when Skype "updates".
What can I do to get rid of the notifications?
Thanks in advance.

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.

    This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

  • Two add-ons update every time I open Firefox; same versions, over and over.

    NoScript and Download Helper launch updates every time I open Firefox (latest ver). If I close browser, they launch again immediately.

    Try this, remove both. Restart Firefox. Any problem? Now install '''one'''
    add-on from its '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''.
    Restart. Any problem? Now do the other add-on.
    </blockquote>
    Thanks, Fred. Tried that and tried it again, restarting between attempts. No dice. Firefox still wants to download both every time. I can even apply my license to Download Helper. It runs while Firefox is open, but tries to reinstall DLH next time I open Firefox.

  • I don't want to install Firefox 5 because it's not compatible with Roboform -- how do I stop it from asking me to update every time I open Forefox 4?

    Every time Firefox 4 open I get a box asking me to update. I don't want to do this until Roboform brings out a version compatible with Firefox 5

  • I have updates on my iPad however when I try and update them it won't allow me to continue..please help this is so annoying to see that I have updates every time I open my iPad.

    I have updates on my iPad but when I try to perform the updates it will not continue the process. It starts then it fails I have 16 updates. This is so annoying because every time I look at my iPad I see those stupid update messages. Please help I'm about to lose it!

    Are you connected to wifi? Are the updates for the apps for ios 7.0.3? If they are then try updating your ipad then going in and updating your apps.

  • Since the last update, every time I open "Numbers" I get a notice that a font is missing.  How can I stop seeing this warning?

    Since the last update for "numbers", everytime I open numbers I get a notice that a font is missing.  I don't care that it's missing and I would like to not see that message.  How can I get rid of it?

    A document you had open at the time you quit Numbers has a font that you do not have (probably Calibri).  You can change the font to one you have OR close the file before you quit Numbers.  Numbers will open files you had open when you quit.
    Looks like:
    The other thing you can do is check the box "Close windows when quitting an application" in "System Preferences > General"

    hello, please refer to the following article in order to switch the new tab page off: [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]

  • TS1389 Hi Since the last Apple update, every timr i open itunes I get the Welcome page and have to agree to share my libaray. before the update I only had to do this once. Now its every time. Any solutions?

    HI Since the last Apple itune WIndows update every time i open itunes I get the Welcome page and have to agree to share my library. Before the update i had only done this once. Now its every timre i open itunes

    Copied from your previous post.
    You are right the Iphone is locked into the carrier softbank from Japan and its not the 3g model its the one before it, I am not sure what model.
    If your iPhone is not the 3G model - it is the one before that, this means your iPhone is the first generation iPhone or the original iPhone, which WAS NOT sold officially by Apple in Japan. The first generation iPhone was sold officially by Apple in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T, in the UK as carrier locked with O2, in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile, and in France as carrier locked with Orange and as officially unlocked by Orange. The ONLY country where the first generation was sold as officially unlocked was in France, which is required by French law.
    The original iPhone - the one before the 3G was not sold by Apple in Japan directly or through Softbank.
    Did you purchase your iPhone from Softbank or from an Apple store in Japan ? If so, this would also mean your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank since the iPhone is sold in Japan officially as carrier locked with Softbank only, and this would be the 3G or 3GS, not the original iPhone. This would also mean you are roaming internationally with Softbank with your iPhone in China. If you are using a SIM card from a carrier in China with your iPhone, your iPhone has been hacked to be unlocked unless you purchased your iPhone from an unofficial source in Japan which was sold originally as new officially in France as officially unlocked by the carrier Orange in France.
    Is your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank in Japan, are you paying Softbank international roaming fees while using your iPhone in China?

  • Why does itunes require me to agree to the terms every time I open it

    Since the last update, every time I open iTunes on my computer, I have to agree to the terms, and then also decide whether or not to share my album info.  How do I get this to stop?

    Update:  I'm having the same problem using McAfee Security.  I found another discussion related to this problem, and it appears that McAfee Security program may be the root cause of the problem.  See the discussion "Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml." 

  • Skype add on request every time I open firefox

    Every time I open Mozilla firefox it asks me to add skype click etc - I do accept yet it still asks all the time why? And how do I stop it? thanks

    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.

  • Every time I open Firefox I need to update all my extensions because Firefox won't recognize that they've all already been updated previously.

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    This problem only occurs the first time I open Firefox after turning on the computer, but it occurs EVERY time I turn on the computer. Every time I turn on the computer and open Firefox, none of my add-ons are seen as updated or installed (although they are all updated and compatible). I need to "find and install updates" then restart Firefox. Once this has been done, I can open and close Firefox with no problems, but it only works fine until the next time I re-boot and I have to go through that all again.
    == This happened
    ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Every time I open up Firefox, the update checking window opens first, then I get 2 tabs that open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after a new version of Firefox is installed. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the "Download Helper" add-on. The only way I could get it to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and Firefox 9.
