Freezing of Skype and does not (Windows 7)
When I sign in to Skype on my desktop (Windows 7), it connects and I see all my contacts, but it shows again he takes over and blocks everything. He never did it past this part. I cleaned out my cookies and cache... it did not help. I tried to reinstall Skype and have had no luck. This happened for a few days now. Is there anything else I should do?
Thank you in advance!
Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the 6.9.0.106 version using this msi installer:
http://download.Skype.com/MSI/SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi
After installing this version, be sure to turn off the automatic updates:
Tools-> Options-> Advanced-> automatic updates-> turn off automatic updates
Also see this on the potential problems of Skype and Chrome.

Satellite U305-S7432 freezes and does not sometimes using Win XP
Hello.
I have a portable Satellite U305-S7432.
Initially, it came with Vista, but I reformatted with XP Pro. I have installed all updates up to service pack 3.My problem is that sometimes when I try to restart the computer, simply, it freezes and does not meet any entry. I noticed that this happens if I close and then open the cover (which means that the computer goes mode sleep entry and returns).
Please note that the splash screen works perfectly well and the computer wakes from sleep fine but then when I try to restart, the computer will simply spend time instead of restart.
If it goes into sleep mode, reboot takes place as planned.
I installed all the drivers and there is no question mark in Device Manager. I've updated the latest chipset from Intel (for the mobile 965) driver as well. Finally, I also tried to add /forceresetreg my Boot.ini file (as suggested: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822624) but nothing helps.
Any ideas?
It is a series of laptop computers Toshiba us and you should check the Toshiba driver page for available drivers:
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jspIf you will not find XP drivers for this page, then you can try to install unique drivers for Sat U300 since European Toshiba page but I not quite sure if these drivers XP will work on you Sat U305 Mr. but it s worth a try!
Good luck

Original title: Hello I have an xp pro sp3 dell dimension 2400. Hanging of Windows desktop and does not, online and off.
Hello I have an xp pro, sp3, the dell dimension 2400. IE 8 for the internet. I use McAfee through my SP which is AT & T. Windows Office suspended and does not, online or off the power. I have to use the task mgr constantly to "shake up" windows start and sometimes, it doesn't work anymore and I have to restart.
I have used all sorts of anti-virus programs and can ensure that it is NOT a virus. It is not my regestry, all updates are current. I keep a clean machine.
I have xp of the process and have nothing wrong.
Sometimes my icons will disappear out of my office, but always come right away. Other times, I get a message that says stop running this script. a script on this page slows down IE run slowly. It is for the most part on Face Book, BUT sometimes also on other sites, like google mail. Yahoo mail, groups and news.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! :>)

The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything. Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt. If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.
To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion? Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database? (Side: I agree with you.)
That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:
Search for malware:
Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:
Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)
Search online with eSet Online Scanner.
The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:
Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.
You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.
Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:
You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:
Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
