• Big screen and poor Performance

  I've had my laptop for 2,5 years.  When I booted it places this afternoon all the icons were larger than normal and there was yellow wavy lines horizonatally across the screen.  I can't seem to normal appearance, and it moves much more slowly than normal.  Help!

  Looks like your video driver needs to be updated. There are two ways to do this. We need to update the driver through the Device Manager and the other is to go to your laptop manufacturers website and download the latest driver for Vista.

  (1) right click on computer and select manage. Select Device Manager. Expand display adapters and right click on the listed graphics card and select Update driver.

  2) go to the manufacturers of your laptop's Web site and go to the Support section and search for driver downloads. Even sites, but you can usually get right where you need to go with the exact model number, usually listed at the bottom of the laptop.

  I hope this helps!

• Skype crashing the program and the PC when making or accepting a call?

  Recently, my Skype crashing and freezing my PC when I make or accept a call, so the only thing I could do was to reset my computer. It's never happened before and talk to my friends a pain when they call me will freeze, it will make me sometimes in the call so I can talk but not able to do anything on my computer. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Try to uninstall the currently installed version of Skype and install the previous 6.14.0.104 version by using the download links provided here:

  http://community.Skype.com/T5/Windows-desktop-client/ASUS-USB2-0-webcam-not-recognized-by-Skype-6-18...

  Be sure to turn off the automatic updates:

• Skype crashing randomly on mac 10.10.3 and Skype 7.6

  I can open it, but after 1-5 minutes Skype crashes

  I don't have something most downloaded and any help would be apperciated

  While the suggestion of D.Schink will work, it will remove all your call history and the cat. There is a much less destructive approach:
  
  Download Skype for Mac 7.7. You may need to run twice, but it will fix the crash at startup you see.

• 7.26 Skype crashes when making and receiving calls

  Skype crashes whenever I start a call. I tried the solutions of the other posts. Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Skype. Updated my graphic drivers. But the problem persists.

  Someone help me

  The problem was with .net 3.5 unchecking and re-check the box in the dialog program and features fixed everything. Thank you for your help.

• Skype crashes after a few seconds on both PC and Galaxy S4

  Hello
  
  I use Skype for quite a long time now and it's just kind of a weird thing:
  
  I've been connected on Skype with my old Hotmail account and then went away and left it connected as I usually do.
  
  When I come back a few minutes later, Skype is suddenly disconnected.
  
  When I try to sign in again with my Hotmail account, it says that someone else may have used my Hotmail account and it must verify that I am the original user, but it's really old, so as far as I know is the address and the password.
  No idea how to fix this, either. So I guess I'm stuck with just using my Skype account, without my Hotmail contacts.
  
  Then I log in and about ~ 5 seconds later late Skype crashes. It happens every time. Tried on my phone and it goes also.
  
  Nothing I know has happened lately. No malware, no one asking questions about the accounts, no update for what it is.
  
  I really need help with this one.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  If your Skype account is bound with the Microsoft account, then try to separate them.

• VPN poor Performance - Cisco RV220W and routers WRVS4400N

  Hello

  To one of our customer IPSec VPN is established between Cisco RV 220W and routers of Cisco WRVS4400N.

  Router VPN /ISP details are as below

  Location was	Location B
  Details of the Internet ---------------------- DOWNLOAD: 6 to 10 Mbps Upload: 1 to 2 Mbps Details of router ---------------------- Cisco RV220W Firmware: 1.0.3.5 IKE policy Encryption: 3DES Authentication: MD5 Group: Group 2 Life key: 28800 sec VPN strategy Encryption: 3DES Authentication: SHA - 1 Group: 1024 bits (Group 2) Life key: 3 600 s Perfect Forward Secrecy: enabled	Details of the Internet ------------------------- DOWNLOAD: 1.35 Mbps Upload: 1.24 Mbps Details of router ---------------------- Cisco WRVS4400N Firmware version: V2.0.1.3 Phase 1 Encryption: 3DES Authentication: MD5 Group: 1024 bits (Group 2) Life key: 28800 sec Phase 2 Encryption: 3DES Authentication: SHA - 1 Group: 1024 bits (Group 2) Life key: 3 600 s Perfect Forward Secrecy: enabled

  From the day that VPN has been implemented, the performance was poor. Frequent disconnections sessions live to the VPN nodes and very low transfer rate was alarming to users.

  The servers in A location and users to the site B gets authenticated at the server DC level in A location

  Applications of Terminal Server remote as Quickbooks, QQ Evolution, attendance RX serve also the location has by users to the location B

  The login is your time and all applications are extremely slow.

  I tried to copy files between share data between two locations and the results are as follows

  Location A to location B-> 130 Kbps 140 Kbps

  Location location B A-> 150 Kbps to 160 Kbps

  What can be the problem for these poor performance VPN?

  -Change the encryption for the least secure OF THE /MD5 would have a significant impact because it can reduce the overload on the routers?

  -Even if both routers are routers SMB, it has really good VPN flow according to the data sheets. I couldn't find VPN flow mentioned in the WRVS4400N data sheet. One of the sons of CSC, I also noticed the VPN of WRVS4400N flow seemed really low as only about 1.6Mbps. (https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2107881)  Whereas RV220W router has VPN 90Mbps flow, according to the datasheet.

  So, what can be the cause of the problem and what can be fixes possible?

  Help, please!

  ANUP sisi

  Beginner to router Cisco VPN, please help

  RVS4000 was designed to work in a small office. It supports 5 VPN tunnels with a maxium of 2 Mbps flow measured in a laboratory environment. It has a processor that has a motor integrated IPS, who would deliver 20 Mbps LAN - WAN throughput when IPS is enabled.

  RV220W has been designed to operate in a slightly larger office with 25 IPsec VPN tunnels. It has a processor that has a built-in cryptographic engine able to deliver throughput 90 Mbps of IPsec. RV220W also supports 5 SSL VPN tunnels that can be used by employees and business partners for remote access.
