Stop forcing the software about us

I'll add to the long list of users finding themselves in outrage on your decision to force software on users.

There is no reason why we should be forced to use this new user interface. Skype keeps digging just on that hole, it seems, again and again. This is not the first time that I was upset because it's just the first time that I decided to post anything.

The "auto-upgrades" (auto-downgrades) are intrusive and must end immediately.

Make the UI look more fancy and remove the functionality of the software is not make people happy, it makes them crazy. Even if I lower the size of the font to the lowest setting in this new version 7 of Skype, it is still too difficult to adapt enough text to display in the chat window. This is because these gigantic emoticons appear in every single discussion message and a huge chat bubble with the avatar of the user. You make resolutions higher pretty useless. It is a step backward, not forward. We just force all Windows users use 800 x 600, while you're at Microsoft.

Even if I decline the update with that your software firewall up-to-date always somehow, which is classified as a virus. It is download and install things without my permission and WITH my explicitly selected 'no' answer to the software. I find also funny that you are proposing allow us automatic updates to keep put Skype to date and yet it automatically updates regardless of this setting. Also not the first person to notice that, but still must mention with my rants.

It's ridiculous, not to mention that you're limiting people to use it even as release you Skype when it is not ready to go public yet and many people have major problems where they don't even get into their accounts (fortunately was not me).

Today when I woke had begun you to me on Skype. I tried your new version 7 when everyone was telling me about the new version of Skype. It was terrible, I had to adjust to the changes made to the software that make it less user friendly, but this just crosses the line. The thing that you did with the contacts and the cat that make it as if we use a resolution of 800 x 600 is just TOO. So when I come to my PC after waking up today I see it says "unable to connect to Skype. I kept getting this error and logged in fine on my Android device (more on that later) and on the Skype.com site. I tried other versions, and they said that my password is incorrect. Huh? I just checked and it worked very well. So, I checked again and it worked fine but I decided to change my password anyway to see if this corrects the obvious bug. Now, I managed to connect, but the software automatically Downgrades to version 7 to version 6.x.

Now on the Android section. You made it impossible to connect with other customers of Skype and have essentially wasted my money on an app that seemed pretty good and handled much better than the official app from Skype. Why don't you stop trying to take over, can't it be enough people register accounts and using your services for the cat. It's not bad to anyone if we want the functionality our customers to chat.

For future reference, for those who are unsure what version I'm talking... When Skype started to look at as it is what I mainly mean in this diatribe:

Edit: can't attach links imgur... check the attachments.

1 google search for this: "wreckseal Skype.

2. you should see something like "wreckseal journal: how to stop or remove update of Skype. Click on that one.

3. read and follow the directions.

Part of the substance on the site and I'm running the 6.14.0.104 version successfully.

Part of this is redundant, and the part about deleting the file from the Temp folder did not work. I had actually tried that before this thread.

I ended up removing the block of the file host snack all other subdomains run on the same IP address as download.skype.com.

  • All USB Ports stopped working, the software device driver has not been installed successfully, error code 52

    Hi I do not know what the problem with my USB ports I can not connect to any device, do not know when he started since week last I have no problem with that, I thank you for the helpful answers!

    Can remember you if the beginning of the problem coincided in the installation of Nero?

    Also, have you considered, or it would be convenient to use the system restore using a restore point before the beginning of the question.

    Another possibility is to reinstall or 'repair' Nero over himself.

  • If I cancel my subscription, can I keep the software

    The company for it to work I was a subscriber of creative cloud for a couple of years, but they have been to reduce costs lately, and I'm afraid to cancel the subscription may be an option they will consider.

    I thought I read somewhere that it would be possible to keep the software after having cancelled (maybe if we have subscribed long enough that we paid as much or more than the total cost of the software?).

    Anyone know if this is true? Alternatively, you get locked out of the software if you cancel?

    Since CS6 is now the old version, and we paid probably more than we would have paid for it when it was available for purchase, are we allowed to keep the software without be locked when the subscription expires?

    As unfair as it may seem, the answer (as others have said here) still does not exist.

    When you subscribe, you rent the right to use the software. When you stop subscribing, you lose the right to use the software. No matter how many time you subscribe to: when you stop paying, the software stops working.

    On the plus side, as a Subscriber, you always have access to the latest versions of the software. Now yes, no, providing you have the material adequate and functioning of systems (Windows 7, Windows 8 or Mac OS X 10.7 +), you have access to 2014 CC and CC.

    Looks like you did not take advantage of that and you're still using CS6.

  • ITunes is to be ridiculous. I updated my iPhone 6 s to the latest version of the software, 9.2.1 a week ago. Not perfect, no problem whatsoever. However, whenever I plug my phone into my Mac, Itunes wants to upgrade the software again. How can I stop this

    A week ago. I updated my iPhone to IOS 9.2.1 6s. The update was done with success directly on my phone via wifi.

    I had no problem with the software of the phone since.

    However, every time I plug it into my Mac Mini and open Itunes, now a pop up appears asking me to upgrade to the same version of software.

    I have no idea why this happens and how the hell I let itunes know that I've already updated?

    I have the iPhone 16 GB S6 with the latest version of the software: installed 9.2.1.

    Any help would be appreciated. Please note that I am a Luthier and build guitars. I'm about like a fish!

    Barry.

    A version update of iOS 9.2.1 is out to solve a problem with error 53 and replaced the sensors contact ID - if your phone is already on iOS 9.2.1 is without doubt the old version of it, not a new. As far as I know the new version will be only detected by iTunes from the computer, not directly on the phone in settings > general > software update.

  • Complaining about the delivery of the software/drivers in a new computer.

    About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite A660.
    After you open the box and all first from this computer, it was cluttered with tons of useless software.
    Each restart of usually take far too long for such a powerful computer.
    Take a look at the list of processes, there was a huge amount of current process.
    What is all this! ??? What are you doing in my computer! ??
    After some research, I discovered that a few of them what they made, and the rest are still unknown to me.
    And those that I discovered was absolutely unnecessary and superfluous.
    After each start up, the HARD drive makes a frantic scratching to treat all the softwareit is charged.
    Despite the huge amount of ongoing process, the remote was not working.

    Why Toshiba offers a computer brand new powerful and enjoyable in this condition! ???

    I decided to install a new OWN Windows 7 Ultimate.
    I spent the last 2 weeks trying to do.
    The drivers and the software trick is to be a NIGHTMARE.
    I spent last week by train to get things to work again... and I'm about to give up.

    The drivers are a mess... some are undocumented, others do not work, others do nothing.
    There is no way of knowing what is REALLY necessary and which do not.
    There are unknown tasks / undocumented (this is a brand new 800 euros; computer... Why should I undocumented patches inside)
    Drivers Toshiba page there are 57 thingies to download the Toshiba... you just may not INCLUDE adjustments to the installation of the drivers.

    When I asked for the support that they gave me a "Toshiba Software install" program.
    An automated tool that will make my work computer! Finally!
    After you downloaded and installed all the stuff she needed, this is the result:
    * The Panel buttons not working do not.
    * No ECO feature
    * Stil remote control does not
    * Hardware acceleration with the version of the incorrect driver, makes the games run at a very low speed.
    * Port Ethernet does not exist.
    * Webcam does not

    I use computers for more than 17 years and NEVER had such troubles, the confussion and the refectory with the drivers.
    I'm a systems engineer and software developer, so I know a little about the software and drivers.
    And never had so much trouble to make a system work fully.
    I spent hours reading forums and vague or incomplete information everywhere on web of Toshiba.
    I just want a computer that works simply, effectively, according to the price I paid for it.
    Do not have a PROBLEM of 2 weeks.

    Despite the material is excellent, the part of the drivers/software is a mess.
    I'm just tired and will return it and ask for a refund.

    Hello Zabalero

    In general I put t read long assignments, but the topic of this thread was interesting and I made the decision to read what you have to say about software pre-installed.

    I put t know what do you want now. Did you just searched for a place where you can write about it or you need assistance?

    In any case, I can understand you if you think that there are a bunch of useless stuff but as experienced system engineer, you know very well how this works and what the laptop manufacturers are offering. We are here on the Toshiba forum and write about Toshiba, but there is not much difference if you check the other laptop manufacturers.

    Optimization of the operating system is not so complicated and in 30 minutes, you can have perfect OS pre-installed (the recovery image optimization). Okay, your decision was clean installation of the OS. It's OK, but you know very well you have to install a lot of drivers and Toshiba specific stuff in addition one by one and this must be done in the proper installation order.

    In general I think you didn't raise enough information on your new machine. In s manuals you will find a description of each tool of Toshiba and utility with exact explanation that you can do with it.
    On the one hand you want to have only necessary things, but later complain of missing features. Problem is that buttons face, utility eco, remote control, webcam and all other hardware components are controlled with different Toshiba tools and utilities so they must be active in the background and it's certainly not useless.
    I put t know what else to say.
    I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs until you started the clean install of the OS.

    If you have made the decision to return to your laptop back any further discussion will probably not help you much.

    Bye and good luck.

  • Cartridge HP stops working after the software update OS x 10.6.8 2.13)

    Please tell me how HP will replace my cartridge or refund my money.

  • Stop Tablet ICONIA W3-810 During Installation of the software

    Hi, I own a w3-810 ICONIA tablet running win 10 and stop after a driver update. I try to recover the w8 with the recovery disk (there are 4 discs). I was able to run the 4 disks, but the software installation stage it stops working to: install Platform install Intel platform Intel drivers... step 5/59.

    I retry the recover it it always stop at the same place.

    I don't know what to do now?

    Sounds like it may be a problem with your recovery discs or a hardware problem with the computer. I suggest you to contact technical support in your region to see the replacement of drives or the system in service.

  • Anyone have information about the software to improve the performance of a computer called "MECHANICAL SYSTEM"

    original title: windows xp

    has anyone information about the software to improve the performance of a computer called "MECHANICAL SYSTEM"?

    It is located on the website at WWW.IOLO.COM.

    Maybe someone of expertise of knowledge about this software?   or maybe someone has experience with this product?

    There is a similar product, without the costs?

    DO NOT BUY OR INSTALL "SYSTEM MECHANIC".

    IT will bog your system with errors, which would mean probably a complete restoration of your system.

    Dell recommends and sells it from their technical support group and SHAME on THEM for DOING SO.

    THIS SOFTWARE IS A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING.

    Go to PC Mag reviews and you will see for yourself that there is a very LOW RATING and under normal conditions, you need software to mess with your registry.

    I know someone who has installed this program and we always try to fix all of the errors generated by mechanical system.

    We did a complete restoration and stil having problem.

    Thus he PURCHASE a CERTAINLY DO NOT GOLD INSTALLER CE PROGRAM.

  • Force the print to stop/restart spooler service when it does not

    Our office has a HP plotter, where the driver (note that we have the latest version, directly from the HP site) seems to cause the print spooler service becomes out of order sometimes.  In turn of the programs (including AutoCAD and Outlook) to lock, as well as windows, as the dialog box, which causes devices and printers.

    If I restart the 'Services' print spooler service in computer management, it goes back to work at least some time - if at least I can work around the problem.  It is important to note however, that even by using this method, it throws a dialog box error saying that the service failed.  But since this is a question with all facilities of this liner installed with Vista, I need to have a method easier to use of the service is restarted.

    I wrote a file .bat base with a net stop spooler command followed by a net start spooler command, but the problem is that, unlike with computer management, net stop does not seem to force the service to shut down if it does not, and I can't find a way to force the stop command.

    Is there a tool more powerful/switch available that I could script so that users can easily stop and restart the spooler service when it does not?

    Thank you

    2. click the Power Options icon.

    3. in power options, see the section "Preferred Plan". Yoiu should have a "balanced".

    4. click on the option "system settings change".

    5. in the change plan settings window, click the arrow to the right of the box next to the option "turn off the display.

    6. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the option 'never '.

    7. now click on the button "Save Changes".

    8. then close the change settings FRO windows plan

    9. now when your monitor remains inactive, your monitor should stay on.

    As you mentioned you did a factory restore using the Samsung recovery disk, it restored the computer to factory settings & finally deleted the application from your computer.

    You can redownload the application & install it.
