Problems Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with Skype 5.10

I have the combination above and that you have read some of the horror stories on this subject.  I never implemented or used Skype but now I'd like to.  I am not technically savvy and won't not tinkering with uninstall, reinstall etc.  Shouldn't. !!  These things are meant to improve our lives.  My question is - this has been fixed?  I think I got all the updates of windows, since I bought this system in July 2012.   Skype is now just a point that I did not do anything with.  And maybe don't want to.

Mary

Skype version 5.x must be updated.  The current version is 6.1.  If you want it to run on win 7 (or win 8), you need the most recent version.

This is a fairly simple installation and should not hurt anything.

    People,

    I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc.  Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".

    Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer.  After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 - multiple windows program or service failures after Windows Update June 17, 2011

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (I think that SP1 anyway). Last night June 17, 2011, update of Windows installed an update or updates. Now, Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Windows Installer, Windows Sidebar, Panel, Windows Update and other Microsoft programs all fail. I get messages with various error codes. A message is 'class not registered '. I tried a restore to a previous restore point, but apparently the only restore point is the one made after the update. What can I do here? I know that I can always restore the factory image (Dell), but I'd rather not if I can help it.

    Hi doc,

    Method 1:

    You can try to repair aStartup if it is included in the system recovery options provided by the manufacturer of the computer or start from the disc for Installation of Windows Vista.

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    Method 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to start a disk check and check.

    You can view the following link to perform a disk check:

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How to clean my PC of the old Windows 7 Home Premium installation with a clean install

    My computer is so messed up! I'll tell you the whole story, please bear with me. OK, I came from work (16 years) and my father came to me and said, "your computer does not light, I have was to unplug the internet from behind." And of course, it does not. He would flash on and off very quickly every time, I pushed the power button. I solved this problem by discovering that when my father pulled the cord in the back, that one of the pimples on my motherboard popped to the motherboard touch the metal casing essentially shorting the motherboard, whenever I turned on. So I took everything out and put it back to find the power supply, I have currently failed now of all the short circuit or something because whenever I put in market system it would boot then restart and restart saying something anti-surge protector be activated because of a messed supply power. I went and bought a new and better. So, I solved this problem. Now a new problem happened, now I can't get past the windows loading screen as it freezes. So I reset CMOS to see, it did nothing. Then I tried to boot from the DVD, Windows 7 Home Premium only to find would be frozen when the (Windows Logo) orbs paths crossed 4 color. Then, I entered safe mode and was able to get the Windows 7 Installer and install showing. I went to remove my old partitians containing Windows 7 on my 60 GB SSD Intel Maple Crest 330. I would Setup then it and everything was fine until it has passed the first step and restarted the 'service' screen how it would freeze again. I then went in command promt and formatted my SSD to clear all. (Oh I also forgot to mention I tried Startup Repair tool, it did not work) I then tried to go back to the Windows install screen, but I couldn't get him no matter what I did. Windows will continue to freeze the orb scene that I mentioned above. Even on safe mode, I couldn't do it. I just built this PC 2 month with top of the line parts. I don't know why this is happening. Could this be a hardware problem. I checked my RAM and it reads as it should in the Bios (8 GB, 1333... {really 1600 :(}) I also used the functionality of memory OK on my motherboard and it is said he did what he was supposed to do. All MeltMC is fine too (with 30 degrees C on the CPU and motherboard) what on earth could possibly cause this problem? Please help, I have worked on this for 3 days now, and it's extremely frustrating. I have not this is a faulty Windows drive as I already have successfully installed when I built everything first this PC. I tried the 2 RAM sticks in different configurations. I tried one of them in. I tried to connect the CD/DVD writer in different SATA ports. I don't know what else to do! Please help, help, help! Thanks in advance!

    A short circuit on the motherboard off short circuit on the food, you're lucky if everything works as it should.

    Defective material, irrespective of the reasons why, will make it almost impossible to install Windows.

    I suggest to use the warranty of the manufacturer of your motherboard and get it replaced. Then you can start from scratch, make sure that when you pull the power plug, it does not have one of the motherboard standoffs come off accidentally.

    When you install the motherboard next, ensure that you set up correctly and to ensure that the case sides are mounted safely because they add a lot of integrity to the case, bending and causing the motherboard to get in touch with everything that it should not stop...

  • Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Yukon Marvell Ethernet controller accident

    Hi, I have a problem with Marvell Yukon Ethernet controller. He send Windows Vista blue screen crash. Restart Vista send the collected issue to Microsoft, then he said:

    This problem was caused by the Ethernet controller Marvell Yukon, which was created by Marvell Semiconductor.

    Solution

    To know the solution to this problem, go online on the website of Marvell Semiconductor:

    Marvell Semiconductor

    I go to the website, download the latest updated driver and the problem is still there. I've installed the latest driver (the same) three times in a month, but the problem is still there.
    Another problem is that, after a few hours, my internet connection are not has high latency and then connect all the web pages until you restart. Connection in the bar bar icon indicates that the pc is connected to internet but I can not navigate on it. Is it because of the Ethernet controller? I have installed the last day ZoneAlarm v 7.1.254.000 but, for me, options are set ok and this type of problem (no internet navigation) appear from that moment.

    If I use the last restore point, gain an advantage any?

    Any solution?
    Thanks in advance for the reply and sorry for my bad English.

    Ninus,
    If you have followed all the steps of procedure which you is given by Martin and continues to have the same problems, you should consider two other possibilities.  1. your equipment could be bad - you need to buy and install a new Ethernet controller (or have done by a service professional if you don't normally this sort of thing yourself).  or 2. Do a clean install of Vista.
