Skype is unreadable

Skype is not readable. There are symbols superimposed on top of the text and numbers overlaid on top of the box where you type in the chat. Screenshot attached.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Skype and now it works again. No idea what caused its failure after working for months.

  • No unread message indicator.

    Running cinnamon Skype 4.3 on Linux Mint 17 (64-bit). All notification options enabled for incoming messages (sound, pop up).

    Waiting: When a contact sends a message in the chat window is not put at the point, the window will blink in the taskbar, a notification appears in the system tray, the unread message indicator will appear on the Skype icon and will play a short sound.

    Reality: The Message is received, no flashing or unread message indicator will appear. Notification and the sound works fine.

    Which makes it very difficult to realize that I have a new message if I'm not away from the computer for a bit and is ruining my Skype experience even more.

    Well, I don't know how I've found this before. It is, for once, not really Microsoft fault! hour

  • Skype error

    Hello everyone.

    I'm having trouble connecting Skype this afternoon. You see, I connected to my computer and launched Skype upwards, as I would any other day. Unfortunately, I get a message like this:

    "We cannot start Skype because your system is not available. Please try to restart your computer and try again. »

    I restarted my computer twice already and it has not been fixed. I went in the community forums and tried to follow a process that was another person. Now, I've not seen all skype.exe running processes. The only problem I have with the guideline is that my computer does not allow me to delete the folder "DbTemp". If I double click on the folder, this message appears:

    "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    If I click with the right button on the file and then try to delete it, it does nothing. He let literally. He remained there. I keep trying to delete it so I can finish my guide, but he didn't budge.

    I would be grateful and happy if someone of you can help me with this problem. I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    Now I just thought of it on mine. I had to recover and basically reset my entire PC drive cards because go to safemode corrupt my sound, Background Image, etc.. Safe mode was not a good idea. I think recover your driver cards (which restarts your P.C.) was the best solution. Thanks for trying, otherwise.

    I'm unable to delete the DBtemp file to the location of %temp%\skype because it is unreadable or corrupted and I have no idea how to get rid of him. Although I have also no idea if that is the question. Tried reinstalling, deleting app folder of roaming data and perform a restore health prompt action. None of this has worked so far and it's frustrating.

    Even more frustrating v6.1 recital is in 'retirement' EDIT: Also Skype for windows 8 does not work for some reason, but I much prefer the desktop version.

  • Skype cannot mark conversation as read (only 1 conversation)

    I started having this problem yesterday and I am unable to find a solution, my Skype shows what a conversation is not read and if I right click on the conversation I can't press mark as read or mark as unread more. Also, if I try to mark all my conversations as read (with the right click of the mouse on them) he is grey, I'm asssuming it's because he believes all my conversations are read. But I am unable to get this and it is very very annoying, if anyone has experienced the same problem? / found a solution to this problem? Thank you anyone who tries to help him: 3

  • Recent messages are unread

    Hi, recently me and my friends got problem on recent notification feature, it remains unread status even when we opened the message. The notification disappears only when I right click on it and select Mark as read manually. This is so embarrassing because we use cat much for our work.

    We use different version of Skype from 7.3 to 7.15.

    Why can I never get a good picture on my imac when using Skype?

    I use the free Skype to talk to my friend in China every week. They always see me on their computer or phone clearly, but I can never get a good video of them, clues why? I see a good image of myself, but never of them. I can't adjust the settings of the built-in camera because they are fixed. Is this my router modem, which is 8 years old now. What is causing this problem. If you look on YouTube there are hundreds and thousands of good quality webcam videos then why am I having this eternal problem year after year? I've got El Capitan OSX

    If they can see you clearly, the problem is not on your side - at least not in your Mac. Could be the router or you internet connection. Otherwise: https://support.skype.com/en/skype/mac/

    Given that I have updated to iOS 10, there is no indication on the icon of the application that I have unread email or iMessages.

    I checked all settings to edit for both applications, but not the solution. I also reset my phone.

  • Skype on Mac OS Sierra each too much memory

    Hello

    I made a bad decision to install Sierra (previously it was El Capitan). The entire system had lower performance (negative) but I know that I have to live with it. However, I have a serious question for Skype running. After starting up it will start taking memory and in a few minutes, she reached beyond 2 GB. I contacted support Skype and their representative available to my system remotely and checked that all found but childless.

    Is there someone who has the same problem and what is the remedy?

    Finally and above all, a special thanks goes to Apple for making our machines just slow and in return give us a couple of unnecessary functions.

    Thank you

    I don't have this problem - however I have issues _using_ Skype: I cannot click on links or open images...

  • Mark email unread

    Does anyone know if there is a way to mark a single e-mail in view threaded as unread? Before iOS 10, I could see a complete electronic conversation in a single thread, but if I wanted to return to a specific e-mail later in the thread, I could score only that we as unread.  Now, I don't like to have the possibility to mark the entire conversation as unread.

    Literally the worst thing about the new update. It is of course outside the constant freezing and voicemail problems. Is there actually anyone doing QA before making these releases Apple?

  • Using Siri on iOS10 to make calls from Skype

    Hi all

    Everyone knew get Siri to make a Skype call on an iPhone with iOS10? It was supposed to be one of the examples of the integration of third-party application of Siri and while I can now use Siri to send WhatsApp etc. messages, when I try to ask him to make a Skype call, it tells me that Skype didn't put in place as yet. I contacted Skype who told me to contact Apple, who told me to contact Skype.

    Everyone manages to get this working again? Or is it something that will apply a new update of the application Skype?

    I would say it is very likely that Skype needs to release an update that uses the new Callkit and Siri integration - their existing application would have no way to know yet about the new features, no matter how to use actually.

    For now all we can do is wait for Skype/Microsoft hurry up and release the next version.
