Skype window issues!

I am using Windows Vista. After booting up my PC again this morning, after I logged in, something odd happened with the window that Skype runs in. After trying to perform a Google search, right in the middle of me typing in what I wanted to search for, the minimised Skype window popped up. I closed it, only for it to minimize itself again and pop up twenty seconds later. I did nothing to open it. Then. I used the lt+F4. That did the same thing. I even went in to Task Manager, and shut down all Skype processes AND the application, and they all popped back up again, and Skype was doing the same thing as it was before. Help!

Just open a chat window and close it - you would see that used handles from Skype would increase.
Same is valid for the GDI objects.
Oh, and I no longer can use Skype 6.0... It gives "Skype can't connect" message... Just perfect...
EDIT:
I have played around with old versions of Skype and it seems like the earliest that could be installed and used at the moment (Sept.2014) is Skype 6.14.0.104
So far it looks like this version behaves a little bit better related to GDI/handles leak.
However it seems that http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.14.0.104.msi is no longer available...
So you should count on third party sites like http://en.chat4o.com/ or http://mirror.szepe.net/software/ in order to obtain installer for it.

Small skype window disappears when entering steam ...

I am having trouble with Skype when playing Steam games. When leaving Skype while in an active call the small window still appears and I can see and hear the other person okay. However, when going into a Steam game the small window now dissappears. I have made sure the relevant settings have been selected. I have already tried removing and re-downloading skype and the problem still persists. The person I am skyping who is also playing with me does not have a problem with their small Skype window.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks

I recently went through and deleted certain originals from my library (since there were hundreds I didn't need after modifying them).
And in doing so you corrupted your library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Remember: *It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss*
My best advice is if you don't want to preserve your Originals then do not use iPhoto. Preserving the original is hard-wired into iPhoto and it takes some contortions to attempt to defeat it. And, of course, it must be done again and again as time passes. And every single time you do it you risk data loss.
Also, if you do remove the Originals you're defeating the best feature of iPhoto 08 - Lossless editing.

How to use session object in windows application

hi, I am programming in jdeveloper. i need to know that while i m making a web application i can use a session object for the particular session. now i m builiding a windows application for my final semester and i need to insert product id and then it should go to another frame and there it can store multiple information for a particular product id.
e.g
product id : 001
next frame.
filter name.
filter position.
when these are added then it should be able to add more filters for the same product id and i dont understand how to do that.
Please let me know as i am lost and dont know how to proceed further. if some body wants to have a look on the codes he is most welcome.
Waiting for an answer
thank you

Hi,
in Swing applications you don't have a session object to store data. You can use a helper class though to act as a temporary memory. Just create a static class that has a hashtable method to add / read / remove data

Is it possible to overlay graphics over a windows application in flash?

Good day everyone,
I was wondering if it is at all possible to overlay graphics from flash over a windows application. I know this can be done using some other languages and tools but since actionscript is the language I know best, I thought I would ask here to see if it was possible.
What I am trying to do is make a button that will pop up and sit on top of a running windows program. I know that usually in a flash project there is a stage inside of a window and that's what you have to work with but I was thinking there could be a way to remove the window border and make the background invisible and only leave the graphic that I want to show and bring it up to the front of the screen.
Also as a side question, is there a way to record frames from your flash project and export that as an mp4 or some other video file type?
Any help with either of these question would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any help you are willing to provide.

Thanks for the answer. For the button I was able to create an Adobe Air project, go into the xml file and change systemChrome to none (<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>) and transparent to true (<transparent>true</transparent>). This made the entire window invisible except for any objects on the stage.
Now as for the video, this isn't quite the solution I was looking for. My application will take some string from a file and translate them into actions to be displayed. You will be able to pick a file and watch the actions happen inside the flash player. But, if the user would like to keep this set of actions for later and turn it into video, I would like them to be able to do it straight from flash. I guess it would depend on how I set up the playback of the translated actions

Internet Explorer script error in my windows application

Hello, I'm developing a windows application with VS 2008 (C#), SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Reports 2008. I have installed in my developer computer CR 2008, but in server computer, CR2008 Runtime.
Everything is OK by now, but when I push Print button to show the report, I hace an error, Internet Explorer script error. There are three errors, '_pe' is not denined, an object unexpected, and '_units' is not defined. Then, I seeparameters window without styles and doesn't work.
I think, these window is an html page, for windows and web apps, but... where's the matter?? I don't think about my developed code, I think.... I don't know what can I think... hahaha
thanks.

Hi,
VS 2008 is only compatible with CR 10.5 (Bundle version which comes with VS) ,CR 2008 SP0 and SP1.
Give it a try downloading the Service Packs and Runtimes from the Link given below and then try running your application.But remove/uninstall all the pre installed Crystal Reports versions before installing the new one.
For downloading [Click Here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bobj/crystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] or [Here|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]

That's because you must be trying to download a Windows application, and they do not run on a Mac unless you are running Windows on the Mac.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
For adware removal see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Skype window won't show/becomes invisible after lo...

When I launch Skype, the login screen shows and it automatically signs me into Skype. However, once the login screen is gone, there is no Skype window. The application is still running, but all I can see is my desktop. Skype is basically invisible--I cannot call or even view my contacts. How can I solve this problem?
I am currently running Yosemite 10.10.2.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Menu Mnemonic behaviour different from Windows Applications!!!

Hi, In My Swing application I have few menu's on Menubar. For Example File(Mnemonic 'f'),Edit(Mnemonic 'e') and View(Mnemonic 'v'). If I pressed Alt+f then File menu opens, but now if I press 'e' ( which is not associated with any of menuitems of "File" menu) then the Edit menu opens. If you try similar thing in any windows application, there Edit menu will only open when you press Alt along with 'e' and nothing happens if you just press 'e' when File menu is open.
In JBuilder( which is also written in Swing), although the menu mnemonics works just like Windows. Can somebody tell me how to achieve this Windows like behaviour in Swing application, so that on pressing 'e' without Alt, nothing happens and only on pressing Alt+'e' the Edit menu opens?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Betty raised this on the Lightroom-news comments section where I replied:
"The mistake was that I used the Apple screen key combo Command+Shift+4 to capture the menu. This is what caused the menu changed from saying 'remove Photos from catalog to Remove and trash photos. Obvious when you think about it! If you reread that section again, it should make more sense."
I revised the text in this section so that it now reads:
"if you hit the delete key you will be faced with a slightly changed dialog that offers (as before) the option to simply remove the current photo(s) from the catalog, or the option to delete completely from the disk. Note here that selecting Delete from Disk will remove the photos from the catalog and then send them to the system trash/recycle bin. So although the warning message says that this process cannot be undone, it is not in fact a complete deletion. The photos you delete can still be accessed via the trash/recycle bin. It will only be when you choose to empty the trash/recycle bin that the images will truly be deleted forever.
If you are aware of this difference and wish to avoid having to go through the above dialog each time you hit delete to remove photos from the catalog, you can instead now use the Photo > Remove Photos from Catalog command, or the Option + Delete (Mac), Alt + Delete (PC) shortcut. This allows you to remove photos from the catalog without showing the Delete photos dialog. Or use the Command+Option+Shift + Delete (Mac), Control+Alt+Shift + Delete (PC) shortcut to remove photos from the catalog and send them directly to the trash. Again, bypassing the Delete dialog."

Favourites spelling in Skype window

Hi ,
Please check the spelling of Favourites in skype window. Just came across this.

Hiding something does not eradicate it. It took two complex sessions of "chat" with Microsoft. They remotely connected to my computer and after a bewildering deletion of files and re-booting THIOUGHT they got rid of it. It re-aqppeared with a different individual name. After the second session with again remote control and deletion of files it seems to have gone now.

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

Can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?

I'm looking at getting an Intel iMac which will let me throw away my old PC - Yeah!
I will have a couple of Win apps that I will need to hang on to (Quicken - Quicken for Mac is horrible, but that's another tghread). Anyway, can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?
My thought would be to allow my wife to access Quicken from Parallels and not have to reboot. She will only need lightweight access and the overhead of running virtualization wouldn't impact her. I, on the other hand, would want to occasionally boot natively into Windows and run the same application with the same datafile. Is this possible?
Thanks and looking forward to joining the MacIntel world!

Thanks for all of the freplies. I suspected that BootCamp and Parallels could not shar ethe same partition, but wanted to verify. To address some of the other posts:
Re: Quicken vs MoneyDance - I looked at MoneyDance a while back and while it is comparable to Quicken for Mac, it isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows (ergo, Quicken for Mac isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows!). But, as I said, that is a topic for another thread!
Re: Using Bootcamp/Parallels for only one app: I actually have several apps that I still need access to on Windows. I work with many business applications than only run/are supported on Windows as well as receive some complex Office documents which Office for Mac cannot handle. Quicken (for Windows 2007) was just the best example of a consumer app where I could see wanting access from both OS X and Windows.
