Prevent Skype From Crashing On Startup?
May 27, 2011
Is Skype crashing on start-up? Here is a quick resolution that seems to work almost all the time in Windows: If the Skype icon is displayed in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen, right-click it and select Quit.Click Start, type "run" and press Enter. (On Windows XP: Click Start and then Run.)Type "%appdata%skype" and click OK.Locate and delete the file shared.xml. The file may be displayed as shared if file extensions are not displayed by default on your computer.If you cannot find this file:Click Start, type "run" and press Enter. (On Windows XP: Click Start and then Run.)Type "control folders" and click OK.In the View tab, ensure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled.Repeat the instructions from the beginning.Restart Skype.

I really need to use skype to contact people but when I turned on my computer today it stopped working. Basically Skype would open for half a second before freezing, this was immediately followed by windows 7 telling me the program had stopped working and that it could not find why. The only option here is to end the process. I have occasionally had this before, but all I needed to do was restart skype and it worked fine. Not this time. Skype crashes within milliseconds of me starting it every time. I have tried reinstalling,

I am trying to figure a way to prevent programs from automatically adding themselves to start-up.(totally annoying) Tools like daemon tools will add itself to start-up every time I run the program.. same goes for sandboxie and various other programs.. Anyone know of a way or tool maybe that prevents this from happening so I can feel like I am actually in control of my windows box?

I recently built a new pc and I'm having some issues with Windows 7 which seems to freeze on start up. By this I mean at the "Starting Windows" screen the animation will start but will freeze after a couple of seconds. It usually takes me about 3 restarts to then get into windows. I haven't been using Windows Repair tool because the restore deletes all of the programmes that I've put on and the crashing continues to happen despite the changes. I'll list my specs below:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASRock Pro3 Gen3 Z68
Intel Core i5 2500k currently @ stock speed
Gigabyte 560Ti OC
OCZ ZS 550w
8GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix 1600mhz
Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD (Boot Drive)
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue (Overflow Drive)
I don't think the SSD is the problem because when I did the install on the WD HDD I still had the instability and the crashes.The drivers I have installed are: Realtek LAN drivers, Nvidia 500 series Graphics, Nvidia HD Audio and all of the "Important" Windows 7 updates.

So I got my new PC all built up and set today, and start running some games on it, to find that Oblivion was crashing immediately after the intro sequence (right before the main screen that allows you to select new game, load, etc.).Bioshock runs fine, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare runs fine, I seem to be having trouble with older games (Oblivion and Doom 3, though Doom 3 I can atleast play).
I am running:
Windows Seven Proffesional 64 bit
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8600
5 Gigs of Ram
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX
Compatibility Mode with Windows XP Service Pack 3
*Oblivion has been updated to the latest version (1.204 or something like that)

My computer is loading up to the point the windows logo starts to flash before changing over to the chose user screen and then just frezing. I have tried runing the boot fix and it came up as unable to repair, i have tried restoring to most recent restore point and got the same problem. Has no issue booting into safe mode.
Am currently trying updating NVIDIA drivers to see if that fixes problem

My brand new computer I just built is crashing and restarting without a reason I can find. My System health report won't be very accurate because I need to run OCCT stress test in the background to slow down the amount of times it crashes.
I have run memtest for 12 hours - No errors.
My CPU is cooled by a H100 - temps never go above 40c even under load.
CPU - i5 - 2500k
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
PSU - Antec 750w
Even on a fresh install it will crash during the setup phase, like where you put in product code and username. Leading me to think its a Hardware issue.

I've been on skype the last 3 days and have had several crashes in those days. Most of the time the crashes have been error code 50. I have run MemTest 3 passes and windows memory diagnostic and no problems have been returned.

i've noticed that when i have utorrent working, because of the constant upload etc. , the pc doesn't go to standby. What i mean by standby is that the pc doesnt do anything, the light in the front is filickering slowly, and the internet connection is off. When i move the mouse, the pc springs to life , followed by the internet connection , and in a few seconds i'm connected to the internet. Needless to say, i believe u understand the flaw with this - skype gets disconnected even though i want it to remain on, and i'm guessing the same would happen with facebook. As much as power saving is indeed, important i want my computer to not go into this mode , at least not while there is a program that requires internet or even chat websites.

Been trying to update to Skype 5.1 from 5.0. Here is what I have been through.
1.Downloaded the Skype Setup file .98 mb and ran that. Got a fatal error 1603 proceeded by error 1663. Spent a day trying to learn about that. Did not find a solution.
2. Found out that I could download a larger file "Skype SetupFull 20.1 mb. That did not work either.
3. Went to the Skype Community Forum. Would not except my email because another member was using it. Well, duh, that's me signed into my Skype account. Signed out of that account and still could not get into the forum.
5. In the meantime I restored the computer didn't fix the problems. Then I recovered an image that was made on Feb. 4. That did not help so went back to last nights image.
6. A member of Windows 7 Forum suggested the I run SPC SCANNOW and if that did not help to do a "repair install" of W7. The scan did not help. Still got the 1663 error and could not get into the Skype forum.
7. I then did a "repair install" of W7. Took ownership of the following folders all on C drive. Users, Windows, Programfiles and ProgramData.
8. Now when I run SkypeSetupFull 20.1 mb I get a box that say's "Cannot write the installation package to the disk. Be sure I have enough room on the disk".. Well, I have twice the space required. I suspect it has to do with security.

I got a new netbook today (Acer) which is on the windows 7 starter operating system and everything else works great except ive been trying to install skype all night and the installation will only go to around 30% and then go back to 0%.. I've tried this over and over again now and getting frustrated. Im not getting any error code just goes back to 0% each time.

I'd noticed my Skype status wasn't being displayed anywhere on the web, Open Skype, navigate to Options, then to Privacy.

I'm having a few issues with my internet. I've been to a lan party yesterday with my computer and everything went fine. Came back home though it wouldn't work. It didn't have any problems because it was transported safely and no hardware was damaged.
Skype works properly , though things like League of Legends ( an online game) , Internet explorer Opera etc don't work.
I did a ipconfig /all in the command prompt and got this.
Node Type: Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No

I have a 13 year old daughter that's skyping more than I'd like her to. I'd like to block Skype on my Netgear WPN824v3 router. However, I've tried blocking Skype as a keyword, and all ports from 1024 to 65535 and it still allows the calls going through on my tests.

So my problem is that when I'm on skype talking all the sound (exept the sound from skype) comes out in the speakers instead of my headphones. When I'm not on skype all the sound comes in my headphones. So what i want is to have all my sound always coming in my headphones.

I am scared silly to attempt totally deleting Skype, then downloading 5.3.0.108, not very good at the computer, can someone pop in by remote to delete Skype so it is done correctly and nothing left that should have been deleted

I installed the driver for my webcam using the compatibility mode (ran it as vista sp2 though) and now I can see my webcam under sound, video and game controllers section in the Device Manager BUT webcam doesn't seem to work with Skype 4.1. I installed skype using compatibility mode in the same fashion. Has anybody had the same issue?

My webcam doesn't really work when I use ooVoo or Skype... for example, I have just downloaded ooVoo and I was told to check my webcam availability and all that, so when I tested my webcam, it didn't work. I viewed the "devices and printers" section, and clicked on my webcam icon and looked at its properties and checked its device status and it said "This device is working properly". I thought the problem was ooVoo but then I used Skype and Facebook webcam and still my webcam didn't work. I'm using Windows 7.
