Skype works only on Windows 8.1 64bits.

Hello.

I'm on Windows 8.1 64bits.

I installed the latest version of Skype 7.7.

But I get the following error.

Windows cannot find "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe'.)" Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.

While Skype does not open... Help, please.

Go to start Windows and in the run box, type regedit , and then press the OK button. This will open the Windows registry. Find this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options

Expand this key and if you saw an entry for Skype.exe there, remove it.

In order to find the right key in the registry, you must first click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Microsoft, e.t.c.

  • Skype works only on Windows 10

    I upgraded my laptop ASUS (portable UX32A) from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Now, Skype for desktop PC does not load. It is located at automatically sign-in during windows startup. It starts to load upwards and then stops working until it has fully loaded. There is a message saying that Skype has stopped working and that the details have been sent to MS and then it stop Skype.

    So far, I tried all of the following characteristics: -.

    (1) downloaded and installed the latest version of Skype (7.18) for desktop - 8 times. No change

    (2) tried to "deep" uninstall Skype from my laptop and then install an earlier version of Skype. No change

    (3) renamed my file "appdata" old Skype Skype. No change

    (4) says Windows to search for the latest drivers. No driver has changed

    (5) the Windows 10 troubleshooting program are used to try to load-up Skype in an earlier version of windows. I tried all, but he does not always load

    I can get the video version of Skype at work which is part of the window system 10. This shows my camera and his work as everything. But it of a bad version of Skype with few features and also locks Skype to one user on this computer. I can't find a way for other users to use this version of Skype. So I am keen to get Skype for office working on this laptop.

    I think that MS has launched a version of Skype that is not compatible with my laptop with Windows 10 and that the only solutions are to return to Windows 7 or to stop using the Skype program.

    Someone at - it other ideas how I might be able to fix it?

    I gave up trying to make Skype work on this laptop with Windows 10.

    The laptop was working fine with all my programs (including Skype) with Windows 7 - provided operating system with the laptop. Then, you receive a message from Windows saying that you can switch to Windows 10 for free and that your computer is compatible. Once you do this, all the trouble begins. In this case, Skype doesn't work with my other programs and you spend you life is talking with people from Skype (no help at all) or in the lounges of cat like that.

    The answer, in my mind, is to use an operating system that runs on your computer and not upgrade to Windows 10, because it's probably not compatible with applications or hardware on your / my PC.

    Now, I returned to Windows 7, all is well again. And I'll keep my PC this path and isolate the reminder throbbing on the PC icon that tells me to upgraded to Windows 10.

  • Y580 built in cam w/Skype works only on Windows 7

    Hello

    just got my first IdeaPad (refurbished, the Amazon warehouse).
    It came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I've now installed Skype 6.3.0.105.
    The built-in cam seems to work in general.

    Audio calls in Skype are fine, but I can't place a "Videocall" to one of my contacts.

    I have downloaded/installed a driver for the cam, but that did not solve my problem.

    I would like your suggestions on how to get the video running in Skype finally.

    Hi qwertz123,

    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.

    When you try to make a video call, you get error messages? The button is grayed out? It asks you to pay such as discussed in this thread?

    A screenshot would be great if you get the error messages.

    Let me know your findings,

    See you soon

    Can you connect if you launch your e-mail program by right-clicking on the shortcut on the desktop or the Start Menu and selecting the option "Run As Administrator"?

    Have you tried to temporarily disable all your programs type of security to see if you can connect then?

  • Touchscreen driver works only under Windows 8

    Install Windows 8 on HP Touchsmart 520 is really a nightmare. Usually, the display driver installation procedure and Voltron Touchscreen product error 9998 drivers. Oddly, I managed to somehow work around this by using a different display driver (some beta-version of Intel), but it was buggy. Since the reinstallation of Win 8 I can't to install more touch screen driver. Given that the Touchsmart series sells on its touchscreen capabilities and given the fact that HP relies on the Microsoft OS is not only slightly irritating that HP has so far not been able to provide drivers of devices that work well with Win 8 Release Preview. What solution do you offer me? Wait? Back to Win 7?

I tried other exe wrote in LV2009 on this machine and they work. Is there something in my vi which is not compatible with Windows 2000?

    Jess,

    I might suggest that the account on the other is the fix.  The idea of alternative / new account was first suggested 06/11/2013 and now once again in Lil_Lisa27 (thank you, Lisa!).  Everything you've tried, it's the only solution that has accomplished the goal: get SimplePass working on your Windows 7 operating system.

    You can use the transfer tool to move account data or you can simply move to the new account, and then set the ownership and permissions.

    You can also continue to seek a solution based on the knowledge that it was discovered the underlying problem to the environment into account in this particular account.  Once you have your new account to work the way you want, you can certainly leave the account 'broken' in the system and continue to push what you think of new things to try to fix the SimplePass database.

    Be sure to create a Restore Point before you make changes to the program or anything outside your account.

    Good luck!

  • Intel Wimax 5350 works only with windows 7/t400

    As someone who uses the Server 2008 on my desktop, when I received my t400 a few days ago I hesitated at the idea of using vista.  so I decided to download and install windows 7 64-bit (Vista 32 bit... I did an install own good... I think).  I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the drivers wireless in windows 7 and, indeed, intel States on their site that windows 7 will automatically install the drivers for the card 5350 wireless.

    Unfortunately, during the installation of windows 7 was complete the drivers were not installed and I don't have access to the internet.  I therefore had to take my Office Wireless usb adapter, then plug it to access the internet.  Windows Update has not fixed the problem.  so I installed the visa of intel 64-bit drivers and windows told me that my wimax device has been recognized, the drivers have been installed, etc.

    except the wireless card still does not work!  He is currently under listening network cards as area network/2 connection cable unplugged/intel wimax link 5350.  I do not understand... should not it listed as being a wireless network connect as is my usb adapter?

    I think that the problem might be that in Device Manager, I don't have a driver for the controller network, serial port pci or pci simple communications controller.

    It is quite frustrating and I really regret not putting more thought in this installation of windows 7.

    Thanks for the help
