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.

  • Changing the language of the INTERFACE - using the latest version of Skype on Windows Update 8.1

    I was using Skype to chat this AM and keep Skype running. When I looked again the language of the INTERFACE was changed to a (including fonts), that I do not recognise. So I can't use the menus... and begins at the cursor to the right instead of to the left in the chat window.

  • Which is simply the latest version of Skype for mac?

    I continue to receive messages on a new version of Skype, or my Skype keeps eager to update but the habit... The version I currently have is version 6.19 (422). It is the most recent? Because he never actually tells you which version of Skype you are downloading/updating the site...

    6.19.442 is indeed the last public version.

  • Impossible to install the latest version of Skype on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

    Greetings,

    I am the only user of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 Administrator on my laptop, and until last night, my Skype worked very well; but trying to update today, he told me that I had no sufficient privileges to go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Skype\Phone and suspended installation. I tried to download the installer from the Web site and run in administrator mode, but he received the same message. I can't even change ownership of C:\Program Files (x 86) \Skype\Phone to give me access to it.

    Is it possible to fix this?

    Thank you in advance.

    I managed to solve the problem: the file has been locked because it was used by ControlCenter4 brother for some reason any. Kill the process allowed me to remove the folder and to proceed with the installation.

  • Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.

    Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.  When I try to catch the separator bar to go back to the left, only half of the small arrow icon and line appears, and it cannot be moved.   Can open the message by double clicking a message viewer.

    Hi there, alicefrompa!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. From your post, I understand that you do not see the Message Viewer box which allows you to read your e-mails; only see you the Inbox that includes a brief overview of the message and are unable to restore access using the separator bars. I have had this happen to my own Mail app and am happy to let you know how I could fix!

    You are really on the right track - you want to roll your mouse over the divider between the Inbox and sections Message Viewer (which should now be on the extreme right edge of your mail window) and drag it to the left.  When you click on the receipt/Message Viewer box, the cursor turns into a line continuous black with a single arrow pointing to the left. When you see the cursor change, click with the left button of the mouse and (while holding down the mouse button in) drag the combination line / arrow to the left. You may need to drag a little further than before to get it. I had to hang mine almost completely in the middle of my Mail app before the display of the message box appeared.

    From there, you should be able to adjust the boxes to your widths you want as expected.

    If you are still not able to get the display of the messages visible after have try this, here are a few more things that you can do.

    1. Press command + O on your keyboard.
    2. Exit the Mail application, and then press on and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening.
    3. Restart your Mac by selecting the menu  Apple in the upper right of your screen restart from the menu drop down.

    See you soon!

  • 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows

    Hello

    I was wondering how to get a 64-bit version of Firefox, for Windows 7. A search on the Internet shows these as being available on a few Web site:
    http://www.windows7download.com/
    http://www.firefox64bit.com/

    I guess these are genuine, but I'm confused as to why they are not available on the Mozilla site. I searched on the support forum and found an answer that is one year old (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/782154), which indicates that a 64-bit version may be available after 12 of Firefox. Unless I am confused about the nomenclature of versioning used, the latest version of Firefox is 24. Are there still not a 64 version, but official Firefox available for Windows?

    Thank you and best regards, Ashok

    Mozilla is not a version of Firefox 64-bit for Windows operating systems. Mozilla has every evening at the alpha level 64-bit versions for Windows, but currently they are generated to verify that this channel every night, the changes are not broken on 64-bit Windows versions.

    There are a few 3rd party 64-built, like Waterfox, but these are not the official versions of Mozilla.

  • What is the latest version of Firefox for my laptop from August 2011?

    I'm running Windows 8 (xp) and you plan to switch to Firefox. I would like to know what is the latest version of Firefox for my laptop?

    Do you mean IE8? Windows 8 was not released.

    You can use the latest version, Firefox 5.0.1. Look at the system requirements carefully to be sure that only what is necessary, especially the Pentium 4 processor and enough RAM since many XP systems came with only 256 MB. Right-click on the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop and select properties for the basic information about your system in the 'General tab '.
