Problems with Skype using Windows 8

If you do not have Skype for Windows 8 (new interface) but Skype for desktop PC (program regular desktop on Windows 8), just open the Skype main window, under the "Skype" menu, click "Disconnect" and then connect you to the help you identifying information. Don't forget to merge Skype and Microsoft accounts if you want all your contacts together as Pinaki being mentioned previously.

  • Problem with Skype and Windows 8

    Received a new computer with Windows 8.  Skype came on the computer and worked great for a day.  Now it shows people I'm "unavailable" even if I'm registered.  When I make a call, it sounds just and rings and the person I call does not get notification.  Should I uninstall the Skype that came on the computer and download another version?  Any suggestions?  Please make simple answer - I'm NOT techie and I need Skype to work for my company!

    You use the Skype app?  If so try to install Skype to office and use it from the desktop.  The apps are a little more prone to disorder compared to the fuller program.

  • Problems faxes sent using Windows - Windows XP - Windows XP printing and fax

    I have Windows Fax properly installed under Windows XP SP3 with Aztech SoftK56 Data Fax PCI Modem (manufacturer CXT).  The modem receives incoming faxes, but does not send.  The Fax Console States that there is 'No response' to fax numbers that were entered correctly and I first rang just to check if they are indeed the fax number and if they work. This has been attempted without dialing rules, as well as the rules of composition and is still a problem.
     
    Fax numbers that I tried to send to are of the format: -.

    1 020-7833-nnnn 2.  020-07380-nnnnnn 3.  01324 - nnnnnn

     
    NB. an attempt was when the Fax Console has awarded occupied status "line".  It was too fake I think.
     
    Device Manager indicates that the Fax Modem works properly.  I agree completely with this.
     
    The Fax Modem receives incoming messages that suggest that the Modem is compatible with Windows Fax under Windows XP SP3 and I should also be able to send messages using Windows Fax.
     
    Have you the XP community and other suggestions?
     
    Problems with faxing using Windows Fax in Windows XP seems to have been a problem for a number of people.  However, there is no published statement of a solution that I can find.

    Fax services Windows XP is not a very robust application.  The usual answer to questions such as yours is, "If the modem is not on the compatibility list hardware Windows XP, then it probably won't work with Services of Fax XP."  The problem with such a response is that the XP HCL (or whatever Microsoft changed its name to) is no longer available, and even if that were the case, you probably couldn't find one of the modems listed to sell more.

    Your phone numbers are clearly not to the United States.  In the United Kingdom perhaps?  If you are using dialing rules, so the number called and the call number must be included in the 'canonical form'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318575/

    With the American numbers, this means that they would look like this: + 1 (202) 456-1414 (standard White House). If you call a London phone number, it could be something like this: + 44 (020) 7782-5000 (Sunday Times).

    I'm sure that you must sign, almost certainly you need parentheses and don't know the spaces and dashes. For this reason, I don't usually use dialing rules.

    When you leave the area for numbering rules uncontrolled, you must enter the phone number EXACTLY as you would if you were composing a normal phone using the line to which the modem is connected.

    Try to send a fax to your phone (mobile or not, it is not serious).  Is called ringtone? When answer you, you hear fax tones?

    Based on your answers to the above, we can (or cannot) be able to move forward in order to diagnose your problem.

  • Is there a problem with Skype, for now?

    Hello people.

    I run a G4 and 10.411 using an older version of Skype with a software patch that I found in one of the Skype topics on this site. It has been working fine for months. I do not use only audio video. I have a subscription to call land lines. The problem I have is that I can call and hear the person I called, but they cannot hear me. Is there a problem with Skype today? Or they made changes from today that do not allow to use the patch and an old version of Skype? Any information would be appreciated.

    I just found out that there were internet problems yesterday and today. According to me, which may have been the cause of my problems from Skype. Here is the response I got from my ISP tech guy when I sent him to see if there are problems of the internet this weekend: 'Yes. There was a routing problem beyond our network or upstream suppliers. »

  • Install KB3024777 to fix a problem with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 now not authentic

    Separated from this thread.

    Joachim

    When first pose the problem? Was it before or after the December updates?

    KB3004394 and KB3024777 appear in view update history? Or do they appear in installed updates?

    Gerry, thanks for your post. I have the same problem as Joachim started this thread. I am running Windows 7 sp1. I have a Dell computer and it's certainly a legitimate copy of Windows (confirmed computer 'properties' and it is enabled).

    By your post, I saw just to update and the KB3004394 (installed on 12/10/2014) and KB3024777 (installed on 12/12/2014) show as comfortable. I usually leave the Windows download updates automatically and I install them to stop. I watched the second update and according to Microsoft.com:

    Install KB3024777 to fix a problem with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    The KB 3004394 update which was dated December 10, 2014 can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer.

    My problem is, as of today 14/12/2014, I still get the pop up "this computer is running not windows genuine', even with KB3024777 installed.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

  • Skype problems with microphone in Windows Vista

    I have a windows Vista laptop and cannot get Skype to work at all. My Tech guys are at a loss and advise that Vista stops working. They also tell me that there is no microphone in windows vista? The person I call can hear me and I can see them but they don't hear me. I tried the helmet, which is supposed to be compatible with Skype but no luck so far. Any ideas?

  • Problem with Skype and its control on Windows 7 64 bit

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell XPS laptop. When I use a voip or Messenger (Skype, smartvoip or gtalk) application, use the sound control (speaker or mic) makes the application and his PC is not responding. Only the problem resolves after restarting the PC and back again when I try to use the sound controls while using voip. I also tried to uninstall each of the applications and use individually but still have the problem.

    It would be best if you contacted Skype support team regarding this issue.

  • Satellite A350 microphone internal problem with Skype

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with the internal mic. If I use the registration option window, the microphone works. Although not large, static noise. But if I use Skype with the internal microphone, it is hardly. Only very soft background noise.
    As much, I know that this is not the problem of the Skype software, I tested Skype on different systems. If I plug in an external microphone it all works.
    I have windows vista installed and a microphone internal realtek.

    I have Toshiba send back for repair, but only replaced the microphone.
    Any ideas?

    Have you checked the sound settings in Windows? The microphone volume is perhaps not at the highest level.

    In addition, you can also change the volume of the microphone in Skype.
    Check it!
