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 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?
Lately when I try connecting with any browser it says I can't like the internet is unplugged. But I can download and install Windows 7 updates. I was maybe thinking it was a virus so I installed Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. Malwarebytes wouldn't update but SAS would. It had AVG anti-virus 2011 and I uninstalled it with the Windows built in uninstaller. Then I tried using "avg remover 64 bit" and I got the message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running" which is strange because I have the 64 bit version of Windows. I got suspicious and tried running TDSSKiller.exe, rkill.com and some other AV programs but got the same "the version...". I read in a couple of searches that it's probably a virus and since I can't run any AV stand alone program, I suspect it is. When I ran Malwarebytes and SAS, it showed no virus's which I don't believe. Also everything in the Network and Sharing Center is totally normal showing that all is working fine. So if I can't run any of my anti-trojan, etc. programs, I can't see what it might be. This does the same in Safe Mode.
So this problem started yesterday afternoon. I didn't download anything, but suddenly I was unable to browse the web. I tried all the web browsers I have but no websites would load. But skype and teamspeak still work.
i have tryed to log in to skype to day but all it does is log in for ages then come up with an error "skype can't connect" i have tried everything to fix it but nothing works. i have uninstalled it, restarted PC, restarted modem. i can connect to everything else but skype and it was working earlier today.
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.
Just want to ask if someone can help me sign in to skype. The following message always appears "Cant open skype. you are already signed in in this computer. Please sign out and try again." I already uninstall and installed new skype and the same message recurs.
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 have downloaded the latest version of skype onto two laptops. Both laptops show the picture on the video cam upside down. I see there are many posts about this but have not been able to find the answer. I have windows 7 32 bit. I have skype version 5.1.0.112.
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 just replaced MSN messenger with Skype since MS is discontinuing it soon. The only browser I have is IE9 When I start skype I get in event log system Schannel 366888 fatal alert 10 internal error 10 as in this link PeteNetLive - KB0000634 - Event ID 36888 - The following fatal alert was generated: 10.
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.
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,
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
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.
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 had skype for a long time but a week ago, i tried to log on and i found my laptop frozen, i have hp pavilion 32 bit operating system. i dont know what the problem is :/ i tried re-installing it but that didn't solve the problem, i also checked the firewall in case its blocked but again no nothing.
my Skype is the only one working on my laptop. All the others (yahoo messenger,internet browser, google chrome, firefox) arent. Although, when I connect it directly to the modem, it works fine. When I use our wireless connection with a router, the Skype works but my internet browser and yahoo messenger doesnt. Did my dad tweak with the router? Is that possible?
What are some solutions for skype not being able to open in Windows 7? When I open Skype a window pops up and says "skype has stopped working", there's an option "check for solution" but it doesn't work either.I've tried everything: uninstall and reinstall, I looked through the internet and tried everything people suggested like deleting share.xml file and some other files. It's no use.
I have downloaded skypeSetupFull.exe completely and saved. But when i try to install it by double clicking it. It is not initialising setup as there comes no setup wisard. How I can run the set up and install.As after double clicking it and clicking on yes to user account control the setup is not start. There is no problem of account control. Main problem is that installing wizard is not appearing.I want to know how I can run the setup and install setup successfully.
