Skype not working in windows 7 x64 build 7000

[Reverence]

Hello everyone

I used the 32bit before and everything was fine.

Since today I installed the x64 version and skype not working, every time I turn it on in few secs its just crushes.

Anyone familiar with the problem or the fix.

Thanks

No I dont I download the skype program from skype website.

Are there a beta version designed to work in windows 7?

If yes where I can get it.

 

[skunksmash]

just type ''skype BETA'' into google, you should not have trouble finding it...

Download the beta version of Skype for Windows

 

[Reverence]

Thanks its working.

But skype 4 looks ugly

 

[KCDale99]

Ugly it is! Clicking the Compact View up near the minimize button helps, but it is still not as clean previous version.

Yup, that is because eBay bought them and is ruining them. Skype keeps making each beta of version 4 more and more like the old version 3.X line though, I think they are getting an ear-full from their testers.

They are - I am one of the testers and I have clamored about this since the first beta put that new screen - and I told them in *no* uncertain terms to get rid of it or a *lot* of use would stop using it.

Every time a new version comes out I send feedback - and this one with the compact view is actually pretty nice, because the conversations button and other new features actually *do* enhance the old compact view - I think they are pretty close to having this thing done....

hey guys! i'm new here.

my problem is: i've got skype 4 beta to be able to get it working on win 7 (build 7000, 64bit). the program works actually fine, but i don't hear any audio which skype produces: no skype sounds and - in particular - nobody who is calling me... skype shows that there is sound (green bar in audio settings), but i can't hear. the same happens to the person who is calling me: he cannot hear me at all.

are there drivers missing? if yes, could you send me a link?

i hope you can help me,

julson

PS: windows sounds and audio/music in general works.

 

[Reverence]

Hello Julson I also had this problem easy to fix.

right click on your speaker > recording devices > the bottom microfon is muted just unmute and everything will be fine.

 

[Julson]

thanks for your reply, but it says that no microphone is plugged in...

 

[johngalt]

When Skype first start up, did it prompt you asking if you wanted to use the microphone with Skype or not?

if not, check your sound card drivers - if so, then you'll need to go into Skype preferences under hardware and enable it.

 

[Julson]

well, many thanks for the answer, but i now realized what my problem really is: some of my (nearly all of my) audio ports (front panel, some ports of back panel) are not recognized by win 7. i downloaded realtek audio-manager and it shows me that only one port (speakers back) is working or recognized.

what can i do?

ps: xp works fine!

edit: only front-panel doesn't work (micro in and out). but how to get a microphone work at the back panel??

 

[johngalt]

Did you disable front panel auto sensing in hte RealTek control Panel?

 

[Julson]

thank you so much! it was just this small mistake! thanks for all the help. win 7 is sooo coool!

I'm having a little different problem. I have downloaded Beta 4.0.61 and when I start Skype, everything loads, but my Handset says "Unavailable". I am using the Logitech Internet Cordless Handset and have installed the lastest drivers for the phone. Thanks in advance, Jason

Skype beta not working in 64 bit windows 7

My installation errors out with the following message:

Exception EOleSysError in module Skype.exe at 0008944D. Access is denied.

windows build is 7000 64-bit. the same installer worked fine on my 32bit install....

Any thoughts/ideas - would be appreciated. Are the other folks out there who claim to have this working on clean installs or upgrades?

Thanks!

i have skype 4.0 running on x64 W7000, & i upgraded from 6936......

try reinstalling it..... install it in C.mode for vista & see if that helps... (it may not work though as C.mode for vista is pre-SP1)
