Skype starts to run without apparent reason.

During the month, Skype has loaded with no assistance on my end. For example, at about 4:30 in the morning while I was in my room, Skype window showed on my screen. I use Skype a couple times a year, so I have it value never automatically load at startup or restart and usually forget that it even exist. I'm 100% sure that it is not a process running in the background (that I can find in the Task Manager) for my regular use of my computer. Is there a new reason why it would start to load on my machine, or it's just haunted? It is quite disconcerting to wake to noises because your computer has launched a program, you use really, so I'm almost serious to have a 'Ghost in [my] machine'. Please notify and let me know how I can provide data so it can help.

You have installed Avast software?

  • Netio.sys System_service_exception started 2 days without apparent reason

    Two days ago I got a BSOD through a video game (warcraft) and I remember it was the IRQ_NOT LESS_THAN message blah blah.
    As it seemed to be a 1 off I left it there, but the next day I had another BSOD this time with the name SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.

    Thinking that I might have a corrupted system I formatted my drive and reinstalled Windows 7 and all my software. I decided to download warcraft from scratch using the downloader using p2p, but throughout today ive had several BSOD all with the same message. I have even returned to another clean win 7 install via Acronis this time but got the BSOD when downloading the client of the game again.

    Am I correct in assuming that this is because of my network driver? I had help appriciate to solve this.

    Also, by looking at the files minidump with WinDbg Deugging tools for Windows shows the process that crashed, both times, was the vsmon.exe:

    BUGCHECK_STR: 0X3B

    Vsmon.exe is a process of ZoneAlarm.

    Try uninstalling ZoneAlarm and see if the BSOD solve.

  • Sometimes, without apparent reason, I can't access one of the tiles on my desk.

    * Original title: using Windows 8

    Sometimes, without apparent reason, I can't access one of the tiles on my desk. The tiles will work initially, I can go on Chrome or word, etc. or access any tile on my desk, but then without apparent reason, that it stop and I won't be able to access any more tiles. By clicking on them, doesn't matter.  Similarly I can't log in, unless I press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and then go on logout. But I can't connect the regular channel. Another problem is that if I try to go on my documents, I get a message saying "cannot open this file". It says that the file being deleted or moved, and then the small downstairs for my documents icon disappears. If I turn my computer and turn it back resets itself and I will be able to use the tiles on the desktop and access my documents, etc. But then after a while for no apparent reason it happens again, and I won't be able to access the tiles on the desktop, etc..

    Sorry, if this is insane, or if I'm missing something really obvious here. I probably didn't explain the issue very well and I don't know that much about computers. But it is obviously a question and I was wondering if there was a way to solve this problem.  Thank you.

    • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.

    @stu

    Not because of the number of pixels, in this photo and the chosen level of quality there is no possible way to create a JPG file to the size of file you requested. You must change your export settings.

    Show us a copy of the export dialog box, so we can see clearly the part file setting and the size of the Image.

    Also indicate the number of this image (width and height) pixels after cropping (as appropriate) and prior to export.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones music plays without apparent reason

    No apparent reason, my BB 9800 seems to play a song (which BTW I do not loaded in my media). I can't even cut it.

    Only recently has changed a new battery and an MMS sent to another user with a voice message in it.

    The song is not in my list of music. My ringtones and sound profiles are all checked. It is very strange indeed.

    Any ideas why my BB9800 would simply begin to play a foreign sound of 30 s no reason file?

    I have since discovered that the audio came from a reader integrated Quciktime on a Web page that I had recently read (and played). I closed the tab and only went to a battery. I hope that does the trick.

    Strange that he would decide just to play to the coincidence.

  • My computer volume gets quiet, even at maximum volume, without apparent reason.

    Sometimes without reason tanks of volume on my computer and I cannot understand why. I'll change the main volume up, but nothing changes, and I will increase the volume of what I'm listening (it is more than a program, it does so it is not question of the program, but I mostly listen to Netflix or talking on Skype).

    Finally, it corrects itself, but it's very, very quiet to the point where I can't hear who I'm talking about and turn on the subtitles on Netflix.
    I don't know much about computers, this could be my sound card is going bad or something?

  • Without apparent reason, 'enter' or the work of 'go' arrow to go on a site that is typed in the address bar. How can I fix?

    I don't know if I caused by pressing some sort of combination of shortcut keys, but I seriously doubt it. And now it happens every time, so I can go to websites via links or Google search.

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

I don't know why it does this, it gets worse and worse still, at first it was once a few everyday now its several times a day. I did spies and antivirus software and found nothing.

  • Lock the accounts of users without apparent reason

    I have a XP laptop with several user accounts that require a password to connect.  Some of these accounts are defined for the user to change the password at the next logon.  The rest of them have already been modified by the user.  I have a user account with admin further rights to access the built-in Administrator account.

    When I started to work on this computer, check the status of all these accounts.  Often, some or most of them is locked.  I unlock all accounts and then do my work.  Before I stop I double-check these accounts and sometimes a lot of these accounts have already locked.  My own user account also locks and I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL twice on the screen to enter the built-in account.

    Local policy is set for the passwords expire after 180 days and for account lockout after 3 attempts.  The accounts that have recently been consulted properly are being locked.  Any ideas?
