  • "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" Error Message Loop upon Startup of WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    Ok I have a HP Touchsmart 6000 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS.  It is my 74 year old mothers computer and about 3 months ago it started acting up.  First thing that happened was the internal DVD Burner started working intermitently, recognizing
    her QuickBooks backup DVD files occasionally.  I got her a new  internal DVD burner and it worked for a while.   during that time on Startup Help and Support would all of a sudden popup right away.    Then recently Adobe Acrobat would
    launch a PDF file about Flash and keep opening multiple instances of it.   Now her new DVD doesnt work again and on startup at the windows desktop she gets an error "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working".   No matter what I click the error
    keeps looping.  No program has been opened that causes it to crash because the error happens immediately and keeps repeating.   I have tried to boot to Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and have tried System Restore to no avail.
    I have ran Malwarebytes Antivirus, Malwarebytes AntiExploit, AntiRootkit as well as Combofix.   I have run the AntiMalware software from Microsoft and have updated all the drivers for the HP system.   To no succcess.
    At one point the system did load and an error came up JAN2OSD failed to start due to missing ACPI or something like that.  For that brief moment Explorer stopped crashing.   When I finished updating  driverss though the error  came back.
    Please Help  as she is about to cry and no one wants to make a 74 year old woman cry.:)
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Error with Pre-Authentication for Windows Desktop SSO

    When I try to use the windows desktop sso module created in the Access Manager I get an error in the amAuthWindowsDesktopSSO file, but I don't know what I'm doing erroneous.

    Something deep, dark, and inside Kerberos way outside of my knowledge base was the problem.
    I could always get a kinit with the HTTP/amdev.tcpip.com service to work. I never got the keytabs from the output of ktpass to operate. I used ktutil to create keytab entries all in vain, kinit using the keytab always resulted in a PA error, although the time clocks are setup the same.
    The AD administrator created the account, this time as a user account, not a machine account, and the keytabs from the Windows domain controller finally worked.
    If anyone knows the difference between machine and user accounts are in AD, I would be obliged for his/her explanation. The UPN and SPN look the same in the directory. I'm at a loss. However, very glad to finally have this working.

  • Why the free version Skype for Windows Desktop is the only one with ads?

    Why? as the title ask? All the other Skype program on other platforn e.g. Android, iOS, Mac doesn't contain any ads, like the phone / tablet version does not seems to have one. The Mac version I don't really know, but people who uses skype on mac tells me there's no ad in their skype. Well maybe if there are, it might be not as annoying as the windows desktop version and they might have not noticed. I don't really care if you put ads in the program it's free anyway, but don't put and use ads that make the program looks cheap and annoys it user to use program. Anyway, I believe skype is seriously needed to be the main messaging/videocall app for windows (like mac's iMessage). Especially with the release of Windows 10 and if you're going to be that, putting such intrusive ads in the program is just not going to cut it, if you gonna put ads, do it right (at least). Seriously your ad placement is just like saying F**K you i'm going to put ads whereever i want. Skype is part of Microsoft now; It's very funny to see that Skype's on Windows (the OS Microsoft make) Desktop platform, is the skype platform I personally least like to use (I have use skype in android phone and tablet too, and on Mac). Like seriously, If you work with Microsoft, shouldn't you make a skype version that's bundled to Windows as Messaging service, like Windows Messenger back in windows XP days?

  • Wanted: Your Skype for Windows Desktop ideas

    We have just launched a new Windows Desktop Client idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows desktop client.
    Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
    Idea Submission Guidelines
    Make sure your ideas are for the right client.  This idea board is for Skype for Windows desktop client, not Skype for Windows 8.
    Search before posting.  Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
    Review the ideas of others.  Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
    Add value.  Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's a way to recognize someone's effort and to signal to us how important the idea is to you. We are using votes and comments as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
    Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the top left side of the idea board.
    Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is. Remember to include how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it as well as scenarios that you think the idea would be used it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
    You will need to select a label for your idea, you can choose from one of the following labels:
    Voice
    Tell us how you would change the calling experience in Skype when making voice calls to contacts or phone numbers.
    Video
    Video is one of the core functionalities of Skype, tell us how you would make it better!
    Instant Messaging & Contacts
    How would you make the messaging and contacts experience better?  You can also include ideas around how you would improve the main user interface of Skype within this label.
    Sharing
    Today you can share photos, videos, files or your computer screen using Skype for Windows desktop. What would you change or add to the sharing experience to make it better?
    Tips to draft your idea:
    Start with a clear title
    Include scenarios and use cases for how the idea would be used
    Add appropriate label(s)
    List features and benefits
    Keep it short and to the point
    Avoid tech speak
    Do not be discouraged if your idea was not selected.  Sometimes what seems to be a simple idea may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
    Be respectful.  Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.
    Rights to Feedback: Skype may or may not use your comments, ideas, or suggestions. Skype reserves the right to use for any purpose including commercial purposes, comments, ideas, suggestions, code, products or services (“Content”) that are posted on this community without any obligation to compensate the individual or entity that provided the Content. By posting any Content in the community, you hereby relinquish any right you may have in such Content and to any future compensation for publication, use, distribution, license or sale of the same. By posting Content, you represent and warrant that you either own or control all of the rights to that Content, and such Content does not violate any third party rights or these Skype Terms of Service. You agree that all opinions expressed by users of this community are expressed in their individual capacities, and not as representatives of Skype.
    Recent Feedback: We have gone through some of the recent posts on the Skype for Windows desktop board and gathered some of the improvement ideas posted there.  However we need your help to prioritize these ideas against other ideas that you may have.
    Frequently Asked Questions
    What is the Idea Board all about?
    Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
    We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.
    How do I navigate the Ideas Board? 
    Finding your way around the ideas board is a pretty straightforward. Here are some of the things you will see to help you get around:
    New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
    Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
    Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.
    The sidebar widgets
    In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to filter ideas by status, for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
    How to check if an idea exists already?
    Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
    What do the votes/kudos mean?
    Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
    What do the different idea statuses mean?
    We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
    New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
    Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
    Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
    More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
    Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
    Already exists - This is available in the product. 
    Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
    Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
    Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
    Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
    My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
    Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
    How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
    You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
    What ideas have been implemented so far?
    You can check the "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic which we will post once the first idea got implemented.
    Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
    No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
    Who moderates/ manages the ideas board and in what frequency?
    The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a bi-weekly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
    If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
    We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
    If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
    No. Unfortunately we are only collecting ideas using the idea board at this time.

  • Desktop skype client on windows 8.1 microphone not working suddenly

    Please help me! Until yesterday my desktop client worked perfectly on windows 8.1, use it all the time for work. However yesterday afternoon the microphone suddenly stopped working and no one can hear me. I haven't done any updates to anything etc. Microphone works perfectly in other apps, including sound recorderrunning latest versionwindows 8.1Microphone is enabled and skype is allowed to use ittest call doesn't record any sounds and the bar which shows when there is sound just stays right at the bottom. I did install the skype windows app instead from the windows store, but that has the same problem.Also, I hate the app so won't use it. Are there any sudden issues with desktop skype on Win 8.1?  Is there anything I can check or try to work out why?Driving me mad and stopping me talking to people for my work so causing me a major problem thanks for any help 

    I am having the same problem. I can hear everyone but no one can hear me. Sometimes the people on the other side might be able to hear me very very very softly. I tried changing the microphone settings in my phone but no luck. One thing that did solve the proplem temporarlily is going to control panel, shut off the microphone and turning it back one. Restarting skype and rejoining the call. However this is not a perminant solution. The next call gave me the same issue. What is the deal with this? Please help. Might be a windows issue?

  • I can't login from the desktop app - "Login error. Please contact the Admin."

    1) Does anyone have the same problem as described below?
    2) Does anyone know how to fix it?
    When I try to "work online" from the desktop app, I get asked to log out of offline, then log into online. When I put in my username and password, it gives me the error "Login error. Please contact the Admin." I've clicked the link "Trouble logging in?" and followed instructions to reset my password, which I successfully reset to a new one. I still get the error.
    I have a subscription to Adobe Story Plus and am working offline/online using the desktop app. I haven't logged in to sync my documents in about a month. My account is in good standing (paid 2 weeks ago according to my account transactions screen).  I'm now trying to collaborate, so it's important that I be able to sync. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi Rohit,
    Thanks for your response. I've resolved the problem myself, and you may be
    interested to know how in case it happens again with another user - I
    thought maybe it was a versioning discrepancy and I was right (I assume).
    However, I couldn't update my desktop software (or I couldn't figure out
    how to update it) until I rebooted my machine, then Story went into an
    auto-update sequence.
    After it updated, it logged in and sync'd just fine. Classic "help"
    question where the answer basically was: reboot. I shouldn't tried that
    before I posted!
    I hope that helps.
    Thanks,
    John

  • Skype for Modern Windows and Skype for Windows Desktop on a tablet???

    Hi All. I am a newby here so please be patient I have a 6 month old Toshiba Encore that comes installed with "Skype for Modern Windows". When I opened Skype today I received an advice/advert saying that this service will cease July 7 and I should uninstall and update to "Skype for Windows Desktop". News flash.... I have a tablet and it is telling me to install a Desktop version? Is this correct, dispite that my device is a (Windows 8.1) OS tablet, am I still required to make the conversion? Any advice most appreciated.  

    And just in case your next question is "Why". I am just a user like you so no inside knowledge but from what I have read it is partly down to the "Modern" version actually being based on "Old" tech, so it couldn't intergrate with the cloud based future of Skype and partly down to it isn't probably worth fixing (It had a lot of issues that I could see). Unfortunatly for some it is a bit inconvenient that it's being killed off before Windows 10 is released. The one thing I liked about the "Modern" version was the intergration with for example your contacts in the people app, but if you uninstall (Or when it gets killed off in a couple of weeks) you lose that intergration. I know you still have it in Outlook with intergration for the desktop version but to be honest Outlook isn't great on a seven inch tablet either. From my understanding when 10 is finally here and Skype catches up there will be full Skype intergration with your contacts again (Although I could be wrong and that is for the WP). Anyway, I for one would love MS to consider the universal app idea based on the WP version for smaller or all tablets. Maybe someone from Skype will reply?

  • Skype for Windows Desktop should use Windows Desktop Scaling

    Skype for Windows Desktop should use Windows Desktop Scaling.  Right now, on Windows 8.1 with high DPI displays, Skype scales very badly.  It is either very blurry with scaling turned on or is too small to see when scaling turned off.  This negatively affects not just SMS and IM but also webcams. Since Skype is a Microsoft product it should follow the Microsoft guidelines for desktop scaling, even if it is not a Windows 8.1 specific application.  There are a multitude of other applications, like Firefox and Internet Explorer, that work perfectly with desktop scaling.  Skype should do this, too.   

    I see this thread is over a year old and still no fix for this issue. Just 'upgraded' from old Vista laptop to new hi res Asus N551 with Windows 8.1 and Skype Desktop looks crap! Blurry fonts and pictures, webcam image terrible. In short a disgrace. I hate the kiddies version on Windows 'Metro' style app by the way. So, looked up support and only solution suggested was to retore my custom desktop scaling option back to 100%. Obviously I am not doing that otherwise I would be unable to read the resultant microscopic text in Windows 8.1. So if anyone does have another, workable, solution I be pleased to hear it.After over a year though the Skype team really should make scaling for Skpe Deskto a No. 1 priority. 

  • Desktop skype client on windows 8.1 microphone not...

    Please help me!
    Until yesterday my desktop client worked perfectly on windows 8.1, use it all the time for work.
    However yesterday afternoon the microphone suddenly stopped working and no one can hear me.
    I haven't done any updates to anything etc.
    Microphone works perfectly in other apps, including sound recorder
    running latest version
    windows 8.1
    Microphone is enabled and skype is allowed to use it
    test call doesn't record any sounds and the bar which shows when there is sound just stays right at the bottom.
    I did install the skype windows app instead from the windows store, but that has the same problem.
    Also, I hate the app so won't use it.
    Are there any sudden issues with desktop skype on Win 8.1?  
    Is there anything I can check or try to work out why?
    Driving me mad and stopping me talking to people for my work so causing me a major problem
    thanks for any help

    I also use 8,1 and suddenly no one can hear me on skyope for desktop.  Please offer me a solution

  • Windows XP SP3 connect to Remote Desktop 2012 R2 - certificate error

    Hi all!
    I have Terminal Farm: 3 servers - Remote desktop session host 2012 R2(RDSH) and 2 servers - Remote Desktop Connection Broker(RDCB)
    I try connect to this farm from Windows XP SP3 with KB WindowsXP-KB969084
    and I get error
    ‘The connection has been terminated because an unexpected server authentication certificate was received from the remote computer.’
    All certificate from connection broker I have already installed on XP machine.
    I try to connect to one of the three servers RDSH directly, and connect successfull.
    I try to connect to one of the two servers RDCB directly, and get same error
    'The connection has been terminated because an unexpected server authentication certificate was received from the remote computer.’
    I try connect to this farm(or directly to RDSH) from Windows 7/8/8.1 and haven't issues, all work perfectly!
    It is possible connect to Farm with balancing by RDCB from Windows XP?
