When I try to Quit Skype Windows Explorer crashes

With Windos 7 ,,when I try to Quit Skype I get a message that Windows Exploer has stopped working.. and the only way to actually close Skype is trhough the Task manager.  any suggestions?

Try 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.

  • Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

    We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
    OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
    In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
    How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
    remark:
    We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
    deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
    (so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
    Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
    Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

    Did  you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
    Thanks for this hint!
    The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
    to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

  • Can't open Firefox. When I try to open, a window pops saying "Close Firefox" and "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.", and doesn't allow the application to open.

    Came home to find computer restarted, which I assume is an automatic Firefox update.

  • Windows Explorer crashes when plugging or unplugging ipod touch

    Seems something is buggy with Itunes 7 or the Ipod Touch itself. This happens to me on 2 different computers, one Dell and one HP so I doubt seriously if it is the computers themselves. All of my drivers on both systems are up to date.
    When I plug in the IPOD it will work and sync, however when I unplug it I get a windows explorer crash each time. Needless to say this is irritating as heck.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    thanks

    I have the same problem, even when i use the eject button. I hate vista but on my pc i have no choice but to run it. Never had any problems on my Macs. i also get a strange error on work pc running XP. It says at first that it doesn't recognize the device running in compatibility mode but then it switches over and works fine. I tend to blame it on Microsoft crap, maybe they are updating their OSes to mess with Apple products.

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

  • In elements 12, when I click a photo in Window Explorer, it will load the elements 12 editor, but it doesn't load the pic ( *.jpg ) into the editor? It always did in earlier versations?

    When you click on the Playclaw's Encoder tab, what do you see in the next dialog for Video Compression when the Container field in that dialog is set to .avi?
    Since you are seeing some video at all in Premiere Elements (glitchy as it is), I am assuming the video compression is not AVCHD. If that were the case, I would expect you not to be able to import the file at all. By any chance is the video compression Xvid or DivX?
    It appears that Video compression could also be "H.264 Intel QuickSync" with a mkv file extension. That seems ruled out since you say your file extension is .avi and not mkv.
    So, with the .avi file extension
    what is listed as Video Compression and what have you done, if anything, under the Encoder Setup button?
    Do you have the same issues with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Also, if you took footage that worked before in Premiere Elements back into today's Premiere Elements, problems or no problems?
    At this time, can you import a bunch of jpg photos into a project and work without this type of issue?
    Thanks.

  • When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
    In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
    If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

  • How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me.

    How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me. Have just upgraded from iPhotos so don't want to lose any content.

    How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me. Have just upgraded from iPhotos so don't want to lose any content.
    Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
    Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library".  Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

    Greetings Axel Bollen,

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • After updating to Windows 8.1, Windows Explorer crashes.

    Hello, I have recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. When it finished the install and reboot, it went to my desktop where my background image was gone, Kaspersky Pure 3.0 was gone, and Windows Explorer crashes every time it is opened. The other
    two problems are not as big of a problem right now so I searched around for a fix on this issue. I found that some applications, specifically Autodesk, were causing conflicts. I don't have Autodesk but I decided to update everything anyways. I reinstalled
    Kaspersky, fully updated it and ran a scan to see if it was a virus, which it is not. I updated AVG 2014 free, Malwarebytes free, and many others. I also ran Windows Update. I ran CCleaner to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't either. I looked at
    the error report and saw that it was caused by StackHash_35ff, which through further investigation turned out to be a fancy term for nothing. What is my problem? I really don't want to restore to an older version because I've spent the better part of the day
    allowing Windows 8.1 to bother me. Please help because I'm out of ideas and nothing from other responses seemed to be the solution.

    Okay, so the above worked. I ended the Com Surrogate task, the went into cmd and typed in these two commands;
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    regsvr32 jscript.dll
    Everything seems to be back in order. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem, seeing as no one else came up with this solution.
