Windows 8.1: Skype has stopped working

Hello,
I just started getting this error message whenever I try to load Skype and need to close the program. Not sure what's causing it. Attached is a DxDiag. Any help would be vastly appreciated.
Thanks!

Most likely, your Skype is crashing due to this new "http hack".
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-crashing/m-p/3996650#M347923
One of your "friends" has sent you a chat message containing malicious "http sequence", which inadvertently crashes Skype installed on different devices. This issue mainly affects Skype localized in Russian.
Be aware, that due to security reason, all the posts describing in detail this hack, are removed from the Community Forum.

On Skype 7.4, the indication of this issue is that Skype is crashing with this error message:
Exception Code:                                c0000005
Exception Offset:                              0022a1ac
On Skype 7.5 version, the crash report will contain a different Exception Offset value:
Exception Code:                                c0000005
Exception Offset:                              0022b3ac

"Skype has stopped working" Error Message Windows 8.1 Skype 7.6

Hi, I just now installed the desktop version, I was previously using the other Windows 8 version, not sure what it's called but that doesn't matter. I was trying to call my friend and it said there was a problem with my mic. Well I bought a new mic and came home and it said there was a problem with my mic. I uninstalled it and installed the desktop version, thinking it would work better, but the desktop version tells me that it cannot detect my soundcard and to reboot my laptop. Upon starting up at the welcome screen, I continued to log in, and wait for my programs to load up. I opened skype, it closes without showing up, three more times I do this before running as admin. It tries to load and then gives me the crash report "Skype has stopped working" and says windows will let me know when they find a fix.

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.

Skype 7.7 Crashes on Windows 10 | "Skype has stopped working"

Hi all!First of all, I would like to say that I recently upgraded to Microsoft Windows 10 from 8.1 as of this morning. I love it, but there is one problem; my Skype client won't start up. As soon as I boot it up, it says "Skype has stopped working. Windows will try to find a solution", or something along those lines. I have uninstalled Skype, renamed the folder, disabled my firewall, deleted files in my %temp% and Skype folder, etc. etc. to no avail. When I did a DxDiag it said no problems were found in every category. However. I did find an interesting entry in the log that might be of help, so here it is. (I couldn't paste the whole log because it made my message exceed 20,000 characters) +++ WER8 +++:

'Skype has stopped working' problem

Hi,
For some unknown reason my Skype has started refusing to work.
As soon as load it up it logs me in then briefly shows me my contact list for a few seconds before a pop up appears saying:
'Skype has stopped working
Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...'
After another few seconds the pop up changes to saying
'Sype has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
I had a look around on google and tried some suggestions but none have worked. I have uninstalled and reinstalled skype about 5 times so far. Twice using previous version of Skype but even they don't work.
Any help would be appreciated!

Everytime I open skype and go to make a call, it becomes unresponsive and a window pops up on the screen saying "Skype has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly" . I've tried multiple solutions.

Most likely this is one of the several cases when the latest Skype 7.0 version is not able correctly to interpret BIOS data. At least, this was the issue with the previously reported cases with this error message:
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00d527d7
It seems that Skype has identified the issue and a fix is promised in one of the upcoming Skype versions.
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-has-stopped-working/m-p/3815022#M32307...
Meanwhile, the working solution is to uninstall the 7.0 version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 Skype version:

I tested in windows with multiple skype accounts.. One account working properly.. But 'sonattacamara' account faced this problem..
So, please clear this problem.. Suggest me the solution.
Thank You..

Most likely, your Skype is crashing due to this new "http hack".

One of your "friends" has sent you a chat message containing malicious "http sequence", which inadvertently crashes Skype installed on different devices. Yesterday, this issue was mainly affecting Skype localized in Russian, but by now seems to be more spread.
Be aware, that due to security reason, all the posts describing in detail this hack, are removed from the Community Forum.
