Skype deserves all of my hate. (Assistance Needed)
11 years ago
Everyone, I have reached my limit with Skype. I don't know where to go anymore, so I am appealing to you for assistance. I'm clever enough to solve 99% of my computer's issues, but this one refuses to be solved. So here goes...
For the last year and a half, Skype has refused to behave. Whenever I type a sentence, or click on a button, Skype will then immediately give me the spinning circle and tell me that it's NOT RESPONDING. It'll do this for about 10 to 20 seconds, before it behaves itself for a few seconds and lets me finish what I want to do. Then it'll do it again. And again. And again. Like I'm using a 15-year-old computer or something. Today is the worst, though, because today it's been doing it over and over and over, refusing to barely let me type anything, or even click a button. I'm at my wit's end.
I do have a very, very fast computer. Quad-core with a killer motherboard and a top-of-the-line video card. It should not be doing this. And yet it is. It's the only program I have issues with. Oh yes, and Skype has refused to contact me to offer any bit of assistance to fix this. They're blowing me off.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
EDIT: I probably should have mentioned this, but I have re-installed different versions of Skype, and updated it beyond count. To my dismay, this does not help, and I'm running the newest version. :P

If that fails here's a tutorial from a Mac that might help.

I'll take a look at the video and see if I can make it behave. Hopefully, it will help my issues.
My way around that was to uninstall the new version and find an older version of Skype to replace it. I am not sure if that would help if you've been having trouble for 18 months.
And don't ask about the stupidity of Skype on my phone. That is unresolved. I can sympathise with your plight.
