Posted February 21, 20178 yr I have the latest version. Every few minutes it drops out and reboots by itself. Have reinstalled Skype a number of times. Any clues? Windows7. Thanks.

February 21, 20178 yr I haven't used Skype in months, Dougie. Have you tried reinstalling it? ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~

February 21, 20178 yr Author I have reinstalled a number of times. When talking on Skype, it seems to work OK with rare dropouts. No, This is while Skype is idle and not being used. I look in the Task Bar and see Skype has dropped out,and rebooting, by itself. Must be a pain for my contacts, to see me what looks like opening and closing Skype every 10 mins or so.

February 21, 20178 yr Author I wonder if FireFox has anything to do with this issue. I just deleted all FireFox History and Bookmarks,just in case. Will monitor for the next few hours. No, Windows doesn't reboot, only Skype. Thanks for the help.

February 22, 20178 yr FPCH Staff A while ago I brought up Skype on my W7 machine. It was running v 7.27.64.101. There was an update available so I took it. Now it's running v 7.32.0.104. It's been running for about 30 minute. Idle. I'm not seeing any problems with it. However, it is the only application I have running.
February 22, 20178 yr Author I am also running 7.32.0.104, Tony. I am convinced this has something to do with FireFox. Since I deleted all my FireFox History and Bookmarks, Skype has only dropped out once since my previous Post.Not sure how long time wise. It was dropping out a minimum of 4 times each hour. Only seems to drop out when I am using Firefox. As I said much better at the moment. This is weird. Thanks for testing,Tony.

February 22, 20178 yr Author Now Skype is completely stable. Some things I haven't got an answer for. Windows plays tricks when it wants to.:rolleyes: Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I Free Photo Restoration and Repair for all Forum members - CLICK HERE Please pop back and let us know if your Computer problem has been solved.
February 22, 20178 yr FPCH Staff Agreed. We don't always know what MS is doing. Good to hear it's stable.
