slow computer with Skype

Similar Questions

• Slow computer, with a lot of not Respondings

  All of a sudden I feel some very slow computer operation, randomly, but occurring essentially (like big breaks when you type this note while I couldn't type - several times).  This is just an example - here's more:

  -take several seconds (sometimes 10-15 seconds) to appear in the email preview pane

  -take 10-15 seconds for a PDF file is displayed after double-clicking

  -sometimes for 10 to 15 seconds to close a window

  -sometimes 10 to 15 seconds when you click homepage, folders, display, count tabs on Windows Live Mail

  -also 10 to 15 seconds discovers a photo after double clicking on a jpeg image file

  -delays when you type in the search for box

  -sometimes very slow loading of programs (and most of the cases above have to do with something loading)

  -(don't know for the sake of typing (i.e. of the breaks in the middle of a line)

  -Many do not respond (IE 10.0, Live Mail, Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader, almost everywhere)

  I got these things in the past, but only very rarely (not more than a few times a day, if that), but now they are chronic (but random) - like constantly for a few minutes and then they clear up for a few minutes.  For these last days, they have been more frequent in the late afternoon or early evening, when I'm more active on the computer.

  In fact, they are so bad that occasionally they make my computer almost unusable.

  I ran Malewarebytes and a Microsoft Security Essentials - no virus scan.  I have delete just maybe 20,000 electronic messages in the Live Mail folder deleted, but that did not help.  I have just some time he put a floor fan extra on the computer where there is a kind of heat problem (the House temperature is in the high 70 years), but tht didn't help either (at least so far).

  I have published the Task Manager and have been watching process CPU usage (on my 2nd screen).  Most of the time is to be spent in the system idle process - and you know how he flashes every second or so (when he's done things), sometimes when things were locked u (frozen, whatever), the display of the process seems to have stopped for several seconds - as she did not answer either.

  Can you offer any help or advice.  As I said, sometimes the system is pretty unusable.  And randomly.  I got 3 messages "(Microsoft.com ne répond ne pas de) when typing the 1st paragraph of this note, but have not had any problems since."

  Can it be a heat problem, graphics problem or something like that - because it seems to stretch across everything I do.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - define the VIEW
  for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
  the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

  System update A small number of Skype clients have problems using Skype. For more about the system status and solutions, visit Skype Heartbeat.

  http://heartbeat.Skype.com/

  Skype INTERNET phone service says a small percentage of its 170 million users have not not connect to its service, a problem that he is expected to be fixed with a software update.

  Skype said on its Internet site the problem resulted from the corrupted data that affects computers using the operating systems Windows, Linux or Macintosh.

  He has published a new version of Skype for Windows late Thursday to deal with the issue, said the company, which is based in the Luxembourg.

  He has released a version for Mac.

  Linux users have been told to delete a file manually.

  Skype said people using its services on mobile phones, TVs or other appliances are not affected.

• Problem of sound with Skype only - HP Pavilion laptop Windows 7 x 64

  I have problems with the sound with Skype only - all other software that requires a sound work fine.  I don't hear my correspondent.  My Skype settings seem to agree and I get no error message.

  I run 7 x 64 window.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion G7.

  Any help?

  Hello

  Sorry, you have problems. For Windows 7, try this:
  
  Sign in to Skype. Click Tools at the top of the window, and then select Options in the menu drop-down. Click Audio settings in the left pane. Under the speakers, you can:

  • Use the Volume slider to adjust the volume.
  • Click on the arrow down in the drop-down menu to select the appropriate stakeholders.
  • Test the speakers by clicking on the green arrow next to the drop-down list of speakers.
  • Click on the link to make a free test call to make a test call.

  It may be a good idea to plug a headset as a test to see if it works. You don't need a headset with a microphone; Just use any headset allows you to listen to your music on your iPod. The nice thing about using a stereo headset is that you can always talk through the microphone on your computer, but only you will hear responses from your correspondents, and is as much your comments.

  Skype has a document of support practice that may help you: I can't hear my friend... (Windows desktop) .

  And now, the delicate question: it is possible that your friend accidentally cut his microphone? Or what is happening with all of your calls?

• What is (and isn't!) free with Skype?

  I am a "newbie" to Skype & am confused about what is free with Skype Office program! Throughout the site are things like "make free video calls", but calls to fixed and mobile lines seem to require a subscription & an accusation of "cost per minute! How can I make free video calls from Mobile/smartphone for smartphone/laptop computer using Skype without a phone number?

  You can do it if Skype is also installed on this computer laptop/smartphone. To make Skype-to-Skype audio and video calls for free, you can not call a number in phone but another user of Skype. To do this, you must do this Skype Skype username (ID) in your contact list.

• Micro works not when using Skype. Problem is not with the microphone, but with Skype. Ive tried

  When you use Skype, my internal microphone does not work - friend says that he can not hear the voice, but he can hear other sounds - music on youtube for example. Ive tested the microphone on Skype Echo - it wasn't working at all. I tested it on a voice recorder - MIC was working properly. Also when I just started to use this laptop (3 days ago), I spoke with a friend through Skype for about 3 hours, and then he couldn't hear me suddenly annymore. If something is wrong with Skype. Computer consultant suggested me to contact Skype support technicians.

  In Skype, open Tools-> Options-> Audio settings. There is more than one option available in the selection box for Microphone?

• Is it possible to reactivate Qosmio G10 mode standby with Skype call?

  I would like to know if it is possible (and how) to use my Qosmio G10 as a phone with videoconferencing as easy as with a normal phone, I mean how to leave the laptop to low-power mode and let Skype awake it automatically and directly ring when you receive a call.

  I use it without problem when the laptop is not in a sleep mode, but if someone calls when the laptop is in low-power mode, so it does not ring. of course, I don't want to leave a fashion of maximum energy all the time...

  Anyone know a solution? I guess it happens this way because in mode low energy, wi - fi seems to order, because when my computer wakes, then it displays a message saying that 'now he is connected.

  Thanks for any help

  Hi Bea

  Your idea is very interesting but unfortunately I don't think it's possible.
  Activation of the sleep or Hibernate mode is not possible with Skype or other IP phone application because this function must be supported by the BIOS.

  But the BIOS doesn't support something like that

• "the problem with playback device" with Skype.

  receive 'problem with playback device' with Skype.  When I go to the Control Panel on my pc dell under sounds, etc., there is no option of reading before it takes.  have spent hours on Skype and my pc. Help!

  Hi BeverlyBowers,

  Facing any problem with the sound on the computer other than on Skype?

  Problem with playback device means that Skype cannot find a speaker or a headset that is properly configured on your machine in order to make a call.

  Method 1:
  I suggest you to run the Fixit and check if it helps.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest that you make sure that speaker or headphones are selected by default.

  a. go to Start and click on Control Panel.
  b. click on her, then a new window will open.
  (c) in the new window click on the tab "recording" and right click in the window and click Show disabled devices.
  d. now check if the speaker or headset is listed here and right click above and choose Activate.
  e. highlight the speaker or headphones and click on 'Set as default'.

  Method 3:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you install the latest audio drivers on the manufacturer's Web site and check if it helps.

  Hello

  1. What is the exact error message?
  2. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  This is perhaps due to wrong setting time zone, time or date on your local computer. I suggest you to check the setting of the date, time or time zone on your computer.
