Cannot connect to Skype with my Skype name

When I try to open Skype after the last update, I get in a loop hell 'Sign in with your Microsoft account '. I do not have a Microsoft account, I don't WANT a Microsoft account and the alleged reason: to synchronize all my devices, is not important for me, because I have only one device, my laptop. Before I could go to a screen where I could enter my Skype name and password on connection. Now, I get in a series of account set up messages I can find no way of. I can not even full logging by setting up and account, because I don't have a phone, and Microsoft requires that a phone number "for security reasons" is still possible for me over Skype? If so, HOW?

This screen has nothing to do with the desktop version of Skype for Windows. Most likely, you are still trying to start mobility modern (metro) Skype app for Windows 8/8.1

Open this folder on your computer:

C:\Program Files (x 86) \Skype\Phone\

You should see there Skype.exe file (icon Skype). Double-click on this file. What happens now?

  • Windows cannot connect to the printer. The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.

    A Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 32-bit computer is a field, the file and print server.

    A computer on the domain is a machine of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit with HP DesignJet 500 24 printer connected via USB.  The printer is running the latest firmware.  The PC is running the latest 64-bit drivers with no problems to the host machine printing.  The host also has the latest drivers 32-bit (x 86) installed by downloading by other computers on the network.  The printer is configured to share with the share name of HPDJ500.

    Now, on a machine Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit on the field, I'm trying to connect to the shared printer.  Add a printer > click Next in the wizard of > check "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer" and then click Next > click on "Find a printer in the directory", then click Next > click Find now > HPDJ500 in the list below (the XP machine can see the shared printer on the Windows 7 computer!) and click OK.  At this point, I get an error that says: "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help. »

    Alternatively, if I right-click on the HPDJ500 printer listed, then click on connect, I get the same error message but I also see a separate window that says "Connecting to HPDJ500 on H2.ws.net" with the lively projector.  This window also disappears as soon as I clear the error message.

    Please note that this printer worked perfectly as a printer shared, hosted on a machine XP 32 bit on the field.  It works perfectly for the new Windows 7 64-bit machine, but we cannot connect from anywhere else on the network (including the server which translates the same exact error message).  On the server, I also preinstalled drivers thinking there was a problem with a 32-bit computer, trying to grasp the correct drivers from the host 64-bit Windows 7, but that doesn't change anything.

    How connect to this printer?

    Try using the path UNC path of the printer in the Add Printer Wizard.

    Add a printer > network printer > connection to this printer ((deuxieme point)

    Click next to browse (leave blank, the name field) or type the UNC path of the printer (i.e. \\Computername\Printername) path

  • Problem adding network printers; received this message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» »

    Hello

    I have a Windows XP pro (Lenovo) that I recently ran the recovery and returned to certain configurations of 1.5 years. Now I can't add a network printer and get always the message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» ». I ping the printer and all on my network can add these printers, it's just that a machine that fails to add network printers.

    I disabled the firewall, but were still unable to add the printer. Then I found some difficulties to register for a similar problem, but they were not useful... It really becomes a big headache, especially Windows restore does not work...

    I strongly suspect that 1.5 years, someone has renamed the printer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the print server through My Network Places and see what it's callednow .  Otherwise, you could ask your network/system administrator.  You should know...

  • A little sleepy Internet - cannot connect to Skype by using my Microsoft account

    Hello

    Since this morning, when trying to connect to Skype by using my Microsoft account, I got a message that the Internet is a little sleepy and I have to try again later. It's using the desktop on Windows 8.1 version. However, I can use my Skype ID and I am able to use the account of MS on Skype on Android. I could also open a session using the Win 8 application using my account, Ms.

    I tried the option to completely uninstall Skype (including enforcement Win 8) as suggested elsewhere on the forums of discussion, but the problem persists.

    It's incredibly frustrating!

    Please give me an alternative or tips on how to get rid of this problem.

    Thank you

    I discovered the problem. For one reason or another in my LAN in Internet Explorer settings, I had ' configuration script automatically use "checked with a value for the script. Have no idea how it got there, but he stopped at IE to connect to the internet, but also this problem with Skype. I almost never use IE, I tend to use Firefox or Chrome.

    A little worrying that it unknowingly.

  • Cannot connect Portege R200 with desktop PC on wireless network

    Hello

    I'm happy with newly acquired Tosh Portege R200.
    Successfully connected to the router and the internet, wifi.
    Changed the name of r200 and define your work group name so that the other PC will be detected - be they - and Tosh arise also under my network places, it does.

    So all hunky dory... until I tried to access the laptop on the desk, at which point WinXP threw a password request.
    And here's my question: since no password have been defined on the Portege (XP clean re-install) for all users or administrators what IS THE PASSWORD?

    Yours in hope and waiting oh great sage over there...

    Hello

    I have no idea what password you need, but usually, you have to set the right permission on the folder that you want to share on the network.
    I connected my two computers (both with Win XP) with a crossover network cable.
    Then I put the same name of working group on both computers and manually assigned IP address; IE: 192.168.50.1 and 192.168.50.2
    Then, I selected the folder-> properties-> sharing tab.
    Here you can set the permissions.

    Using the WiFi network, you must set the option for * Ad-hoc network.
    This allows you to use a connection from computer to computer.

    Hello!

    Did you already check if the wireless network adapter is enabled? You can do this by using the hardware on the laptop switch and the FN + F8 key combination. Check it!

    If it doesn't work you should try reinstalling the laptop using Toshiba HDD or Toshiba Recovery disk recovery option. With these settings of your laptop should work fine again.
