• Skype for win 8 problems

  Skype for win 8 does not have the feature I need, so why am I being forced to change to something I can't use? The last time I tried Skype for win 8, he FORCED me to have Skype VISIBLE tab at any time to use it at all. If I closed the tab, or played a full set of screen (which is the only way I ever play), I couldn't hear or speak to the people in Skype. As I use Skype ALL THE TIME for games, exactly how am I suppose to keep playing games with my friends? This problem has been fixed? If not, then you better * beep * well let me continue to use my Skype the way which I was, or who will be the last time I use Skype. Never. And I will do my best to find a way to send an email to express my dissatisfaction at the stupidity of this movement.

  I guess this e-mail said that (versions OLDER Skype for Windows Desktop<6.14) will="" be="">

• Can't send or receive messages Skype for windows desktop 8

  Hello

  I just got a new laptop which uses windows 8. I downloaded the Skype for desktop PC (because I really don't like it). I can sign in very well, see my contacts, etc., but I can't send or receive messages.

  When I receive a new message, I get small pop window in the lower right corner, but when I go to Skype, it shows not all new messages.

  Anyone got any ideas?

  Change the time after you have received or sent messages when the weather was bad won't solve anything. The only thing you can do now is erase all old chat history and start to charge.

  If you are able to manage a SQLite database editor, you can also try to fix the time stamp of the misplaced messages.

• Win XP Pro SP3 hangs when starting.

  My copy of close to ten years of Windows XP Pro served me well... it has been updated a number of pious UN time (and that was just the first few days after I first bought!) is the current state of the SP3.  I've never had a problem with the start of the BONE, until two days ago.  He simply refused to start.  There had not been updated, there had not been any virus, (Norton 360 first version 5, SpyBot Search and Destroy, AVG Security Suite Pro) full... it worked and works well, I stopped him and when I went to restart, it is hanging in the first screen of Windows XP (black one who lights up for a few seconds and scan blue dots everywhere under the name "Windows XP").

  I was able to restart in safe mode, no problem.  I then went through all the lists of things to try that I could find on here and any other support area of Microsoft.  Clean boot didn't work, start diagnosis does not work, no matter how configure msconfig, the result was the same. hang in the first XP screen.  I found an article that said to use the Windows installation disc and do a "set up"... essentially replace the operating system without affecting any of the other programs or data on the disk.  I did this, and of course, it still hangs on the first XP screen.  The kicker is NOW, I can start is no longer in safe mode, because it comes in saying that it is a 'NEW' XP installation and as such must be activated before first use... and because activation cannot be done in safe mode, please restart the computer in normal mode and proceed with the activation...

  IF I COULD START THE COMPUTER IN NORMAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO REINSTALL THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE OR HERE BEGGING FOR HELP!

  Hi RonaldHaywood,

  It looks like the Windows XP installation is damaged and that the only option is to reinstall Windows XP on the computer after saving the data.

  You will need to take the computer to a store local tech to save data and then perform the clean installation.

  Install, reinstall, or uninstall Windows

• Latest version of Skype for Windows stops unexpectedly

  This is not the Preview version of Skype, but is the oldest Skype for Windows, version 7.28.80.101. I'm a (paying) happy user of Skype for the past 7 years, and it is pretty central to my work as a tester of computer software. I noticed the new behavior very recently where Skype just stop with any kind of message that I saw, and if I do not realize and restart the application, the people I work with who just thinks I'm offline. No idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

  I guess that the problem is caused by the strange interaction between app overview of Skype and Skype for Windows desktop:

  https://community.Skype.com/T5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-just-closed-itself-uncommanded/m-p/44833...

  Even if you are not actively using the preview application, its context process, SkypeHost.exe, runs in the background and may periodically close the Skype desktop.

  I did not see Skype on my computer and can not verify this behavior, but this problem has been reported elsewhere.

• New Skype for Windows Office, everyone is in offline mode.

  Even the Echo / Sound Test Service is offline, so with this version of Skype, I can't communicate with someone able to see if it works.

  When I installed the Skype for Windows desktop (which forced me to do today), Skype said that 'Skype Home' is not available. Related to everyone is offline? I need Skype home?

  Is your login on Skype online status? The status icon next to your name should be green with a white check mark inside.

• 64 bit Windows7/8/8.1/10 USB drivers for Palm Desktop

  Thank you people much more to Aceeca.com (Palm OS Garnet NEW manufacturers), the USB drivers for Vista, Windows 7 and 8 Win 64 bit operating systems are available.  There are many users Palm Desktop 4.x strives also to the declaration.
  
  I have synced my TX my Vista64 laptop computer bits and Windows 8.1 HP spectrum X 2 hybrid successfully through my USB cable.
  
  The drivers are located here:
  
  Aceeca Driver Downloads

  (NOTE: as of today, 01/08/2016 Aceeca site to be down for 'construction'.)  Drivers can also be found here: http://www.palmdr.com/windows-7-64-bit-usb-drivers)

  Installation instructions for Windows 7 (from Aceeca) are included in the download.
  
  Basic instructions:
  
  1 download the drivers and extract them in the same folder.  Remember the folder that you extracted to.
  
  2. try to HotSync your device.  It will fail.
  
  3. open the Device Manager and look for the yellow Triangle next to the other "Acceca" or "'Palm device ' in the"Other devices"section."
  
  4. right click on the device and choose "Update driver software".

  Good luck!

  NOTE: Palm Desktop 6.22 may only multimedia show and install.  Here's how to fix this:

  If Palm Desktop 6.2.2 shows only the media and installation, try this: right click on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, and then choose 'run as administrator '.  Other modules should appear.

  To Palm Desktop run as administrator every time in Windows 8 / 8.1:

  Close to Palm Desktop, if it is open.  (This is a very important thing to do when you use 6.2.2 - it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)

  Right click on the desktop icon of Palm in the metro screen, then choose "open file location".  You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.

  Right-click on the file "Palm Desktop" shortcut, then properties.  Now, choose the tab compatibility at the top.

  At the bottom of the Compatibility tab is a checkbox: "run this program as an administrator", click OK.

  Try to open the Palm Desktop, all parties must appear.  You can see a box opens when you close the program asking "did the program runs correctly.   I chose 'Yes', and it has been working fine since then!

  If you are using a much older PalmOS device and try using Palm Desktop 4.x, you will need this additional patch Pimlico Software:

  Palm HotSync configuration

  Forum member bobboffin has added this message:
  
  "After you try your first HotSync and failing (as expected) you may be unable to find any trace of the device in Device Manager, making the next step very difficult. It is me, and after some research, I discovered the following trick that allows Device Manager to display hidden and devices not present.
  
  Open Notepad and paste the following two lines are:
  
  Set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1
  Start devmgmt.msc
  
  Save it as SetDev.bat in My Documents.
  
  Open My Documents in Windows Explorer and double-click SetDev.bat. Device Manager opens.
  
  On the view menu, select Show hidden devices.
  
  You can now see in the other position of the device with a yellow triangle against it.
  
  You can now proceed to install the drivers according to the instructions.
  
  Note that the driver supports most versions of Palm OS. "I actually use an Aceeca Meazura 1000 rugged PDA running OS 4.1 - bobboffin.
  
  I hope this helps!

• Skype for Outlook Toolbar

  Hello I am using windows 7 32-bit with outlook 2010 w / toolbar installed Skype and the new Skype for desktop PC. I like the integration of Skype with outlook, they have seen a im only problem is that the Skype toolbar have come very wide on the right side of each contact window and the message that I opened and covers a large part of the information that I have read. Even if I close the toolbar manually in the message or contact, the next time I open the toolbar is back. Is there a way to keep the Skype itegration but hide the toolbar of projection?

  Just solved my problem... Looks like that just disable the add-in toolbar still keeps the integration that I wanted. All right.
