Vista and the Skype Video Configuration

Skype video calls make my PC crash. Whenever I do a link with another PC, my PC just hangs at about 30 seconds later. It is a newer laptop with Vista Home Premium and most bells and whistles.  I do the automatic updates for Windows. I have been troubleshooting this without success. Help, please! Thank you very much.

Hi Srt77,

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • DUN connection Bluetooth for Pocket PC, Vista and the user rights restricted

    Hallo,

    I managed to establish a DUN connection to my smartphone WM5 Pocket QTEK 9100 Bluetooth-based and the Toshiba Stack, latest version. My laptop is an X 200 - 21 d with Vista Home Premium.

    Everything works although I do not change the Vista user to a user with restricted rights, for the user with the Bluetooth utility administrator rights has created a new DUN connection and a new modem with a virtual COM port. The user with restricted rights is not allowed to set up a new connection, but it is necessary to connect to the smartphone with the Bluetooth utility. On the administrative account the option button to allow the connection to call other users is disabled and grayed out, so there is sort now open it up to other users.

    How can I set up a Bluetooth DUN connection for a user with restricted rights?

    Thank you in advance!

    If the user restricted use the same DUN like the Admin Setup?

    If Yes, then you can use "Bluetooth-> custom Mode settings". This allows you to
    Select the "Standard 33600 Modem" from the list that has been set up before
    the admin. So every ONE that has been configured by the administrator can be used by the
    User restricted with this method. Restricted users cannot install hardware, so
    If the administrator has not installed a modem, then also the restricted user cannot use it.

    The Admin can pre-install a modem with Bluetooth stack installation.
    This is useful if the restricted user should be able to configure a DUN connection
    with the advanced modem settings which are not used by the administrator.

    This should be possible if the file "as.ini" has a line "MODEMINST = 1".

  • I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND THE SIMS 2 ON MY COMPUTER BUT I TRIED TO INSTALL THE SIMS 3 BUT NOTHING HAPPENED! (CAN YOU BE RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

    I INSTALLED THE SIMS 2 DELUX, SIMS 3 PETS AND SIMS 2 APARTMENT LIFE. I GOT SIMS 3 PUT HIM IN THE HARDRIVE HE RAN, BUT THE MESSAGE GAME NEVER TO SAY IF I WANT TO RUN IT HELP! PLEASE

    P.S. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA

    THANKS X

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Well first thing to note - if you have Windows Vista, it is a forum for Windows 7, then you might have more luck in the Vista forum.  But second, you noted that you have installed the SIMS 2 Deluxe and the Sims 2 Apartment life and the SIMS 3 pets.  There are no SIMS 3 pets yet (only SIMS 2 Pets).  So who could have thrown people.

    So now REALLY tell you putting a SIMS 3 disc in?  If so, you must install the program first and sometimes automatic execution does.  You can, however, open a Windows Explorer (press the Windows key, key with the Windows Logo on it, down and self-tapping letter E - keep the E or you'll have a whole bunch of windows to the top).

    Then go to your CD/DVD drive and double-click it.  It can start the car then run.  If not, then you can right click on the drive icon and select EXPLORER and then find the file named SETUP.  If you don't see what he, or see the files, then make sure you have a valid PC version of the game and do not have a MAC version (my kids have committed this error several times while getting the library software).

    See if none of this helps and then after return. Bob Larson Access MVP

  • Games of Vista and the cd does not

    I have a Toshiba laptop with Vista and my friend has a Dell with Vista.  She has no trouble loading the cd games but I do and don't know why. Have not been able to use one of my old CDs.  I bought the new software for Vista and sometimes they will load and sometimes not.  I have the Active X.  This particular game that is not downloading is Scrabble. Hate Vista, think to get rid of it.

    Hello Dachsiema,

    Thank you for posting.  As you said a friend was able to load the game and have the same type of problem with other drives, it seems you might have a problem with CD/DVD player.  We will test this by trying to copy all the files on the CD to a folder on your computer (create a new folder and copy all the contents of the CD to this folder).  Once you copy all the files, and then try to install the game from the folder.  If there is a problem with your CD drive, the files will not correctly copy to the folder.

    Please try this and I would like to know the results. Zack

  • Failure of Windows Vista and the SafeMode of startup failure - crcdisk.sys

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer 2 GB RAM. He had a few months now, and everything has been fine.

    Started a few days ago from freezing occasionally so I was forced to restart. CTRL + ALT + DELETE has refused to do anything and so I had to manually remove the battery.

    A frozen about three times and then once rebooted showed the BSOD saying something the system failure.

    So I rebooted once more and now it restarts just without going on the login screen. I tried to run in safe mode, but it gets stuck on crcdisk.sys or goes in an endless process to restart again.

    Is there anyway that I might be able to get back on without doing a full factory reset, as I have all my work stored on the hard drive integrated without backup.

    I can open the system recovery options, but none of these options seem to work. All my points of recovery have been removed.

    Startup Repair doesn't indicate a problem with the system, so I thought maybe it was a virus? The same thing happened to my wife a few days ago computer and that uses the same Wifi network as me.

    Jacob.

    To search for malicious software, you must do in Mode safe mode with networking, but you say that you can not get the Options.

    There is information below data recovery.

    And Startup Repair Info, too.

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Dell recovery options:

    http://supportapj.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DSN/en/document?journalid=67E9C215C4BABD6CE040AE0AB5E14F05&docid=339949

    And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

  • two hard drives, one with vista and the other with XP and you want to remove second disk XP

    I have a hard drive that came with my computer and vista on it, I added a second drive to my bench that has XP on it. I want to remove the second XP disc and simply use it as a storage drive, and I'm afraid that if I try and uninstall XP disc, it allows to uninstall vista of the first hard drive instead. or should I even try and uninstall it all and just delete all files? Since there is nothing in the registry for all the things on the second disc. If I uninstall XP second drive will be there remove all of that second drive? because there are a few things about this, I still want to keep. I should also mention that it is divided into three separate letters, if I do not uninstall XP I lose all three of these letters of partitioned drive? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You can just uninstall XP. Anyway, as you say, you can remove the folder Program Files and Windows in that partition but personally I would just copy the files I need to another partition (on the hard drive where vista is installed) and the format of the old HDD.

    I made this establishment a few times using esxi in vmware workstation and used vmotion on it without any problem.

    I don't know if that is a problem because of the CPU as the 1850 uses a Pentium 4 XEON and the 2950 a Quad core (coreduo) Xeon. On the vmware workstation it worked well because I use a processor core 2 duo as well. Is this because VT? they are capable of 64-bit P4 Xeons is not VT

    in the 1850s, I have fiber connected to a SAN network cards, but I removed the warehouses of data from it as I myself suspect this could have an impact on HA configuration, but as you expected, it did not help :/

    You guys have no idea what I can do?

    Can you send me the tarred contents of the directory/var/log/vmware to host?

    The compatibility of the processor is not the problem. The two hosts are able to communicate on port groups 'management' common?
