Skype 5.6.0.143 crashes constantly on OSX Lion 10.7.3

I have tried everything in the support article:

Why Skype for Mac OS X crash my computer?

https://support.Skype.com/en-us/FAQ/FA10916/why-does-Skype-for-Mac-OS-X-crash-my-computer

But still whenever I launch Skype it crashes.

Here are the accident report:

So I finally fixed my problem after a visit to the Mac store. Unfortunately I doubt that my solution will be very useful for everyone. I accidentally damaged the Mac OSX /usr/bin/libffi.dylib version by installing the version opensource of sourceware.org. I had to restore the original version by retrieving another Mac. I have replaced the file, cleaned up my mess and boom everything rolls.

I have a tip for everyone:

The Console application allows obtaining better information that only accident report shows. (To do this - go to Spotlight and type "Console").

In my case, other applications also have problems with the file libffi.dylib:

Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libffi.dylib
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ScriptingBridge.framework/Versions/A/ScriptingBridge
Reason: no suitable image found. Found:
/usr/lib/libffi.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

    I don't know what to do. I'm not much of a geek...

    The thing is, the problem occurs only after you have installed programs. Not directly after the time I restore settings, is probably not a hardware problem (I think).

    Still, I installed an antivirus before anything else.
    First of all, I tried Comodo several times. Then Avira. And now I'm with AVG. Thus, all the programs I download should be good.

    Side note: programs Evernote who install are all widely used programs like CCleaner, Skype, iTunes, Chrome,... All of their own websites, so I do not understand how they are the problem.

    Is it possible that this is a problem material, even when the problem occurs only after you have installed (well known) programs?

    How to fix this problem?

    Just to follow up on the post of madtor.

    The shell extension which seems to be the cause of the accident is the ASUSWSShellExt64.dll:

    Fault Module name: ASUSWSShellExt64.dll

    Fault Module Version: 1.1.0.27

    The ASUSWSShellExt64.dll appears to be from ASUS WebStorage software.

    The same problem has been reported in the following link:

    Try to update or if necessary, uninstall the software ASUS WebStorage.

  • Satellite A300 crashes constantly

    My laptop crashes constantly. Runs for 5 minutes and again after crashes. At the same time not to.

    What to do!

    What you need to do is clean operating system installation. Who knows what is wrong and what you did with your computer laptop last days.
    Some additional software is perhaps responsible for that.

    I hope that you created the recovery DVDs. Otherwise install OS using F8 and repair my computer option (recovery). With the factory settings, everything should be OK.

  • CC of hearing crashes constantly.

    To give as much detail as possible:

    With the help of a laptop running windows 8.1.  I use the latest version of the CC of the hearing.  I have a Mackie MCU Pro for the via USB control surface and a Focusrite 18i20 for my audio interface.  I imported some of the v2 of export OMF files into Logic Audio. Once I import it, I save a file .sesx for the native support hearing.

    After opening, work seems to be fine, but as soon as I try things like adding effects on anything, the application starts to hang and be unable to do anything else than killed by the Task Manager.  The app is still to play the audio if I had opened audio, but its actually not not much else.  I got it during a few minutes editing on a regular basis.  Is it a problem to import OMF?  A problem with the builtin plugins?  I seem to see less crashing if I made the tracks and I'm editing of many titles, (sometimes up to 30 I think that, as it's the music of my group that I mix)

    I was with logic 8, but its not supported on Mavericks more and only partly working, so I'm moving to the hearing.

    Any ideas what could be causing crash constantly?   If I register, then make another change, I was OK, but definitely lost some data.  When it crashes, continue using used to confuse me because it does not by default display of the multitrack session .sesx, instead it showed one of the audio files randomly.  The last time that I had an accident, I realized that and seem to see that it can be save correctly, and I have to select the main session, not the audio file it does default to.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make the application more stable?

    ~ Phil

    In the sake of troubleshooting, have you tried working without connected Mackie control surface?

  • Flash Builder crashes constantly. Help!

    I'm running Flash Builder CS5 in a box of 64 bit Windows 7 HP and it crashes constantly during the strike, selection of text, collage and other normal actions in the editor. He freezes for 5 to 10 minutes and then returns to the normal work again. However, sometimes not beyond a single character typed and it hangs again! It is obtained if frustrating, that I wonder how am I ever going to complete my AIR application. Some days, he's suspended for longer it works and so I get practically anything fact.

    Anyone has an idea why it may crash all the time? I'm not under all versions of Eclipse or Aptana on this machine.

    Thank you!

    My first try would be to stop the automatic generation process. You can do this in the Project menu. Then when you run it builds, or you can just press command-B to build.

    If this isn't the case, then it is maybe something wrong with your instalation and/or plugins. Or just something wrong with your overall computer. Try reinstalling Flash Builder. If all else fails at this point, try to set up the environment on another computer just to see what happens.

    Also, try to think how do you have this problem start and address this problem.

  • Skype crashes on the Mountain Lion Developer Preview

    I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion overview of developers and Skype crashes. The audio parameters are constantly and errors in the display and I can't seem to let him use my headset USB most of the time. Generally, it crashes when making an outgoing call.

    I use Skype all day and had to set up another computer just so that I can make and receive calls. Very frustrating!

    Everyone has similar problems or have a fix?

    I hope that they fix on the next generation.

    Well... Good news... 10.8.1 whit... Skype works PERFECT!...
