Skype has stopped working in Windows 7

[rmontoyat]

I was using skype in Windows 7 and from some days to now. All times that I start the session windows told me "Skype has stopped working" and close the program, how I can do to avoid it?

I'm having the same problem. Its been doing that since I reinstalled the new Skype 5.8 with premium. Now I can't even use premium to take advantage of the group calls. After trying to sign in, there is a "skype has stopped working" and says a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. How do we get help on this?

Open Windows Event Viewer -> Custom Views -> Administrative Events. Look for any recent error messages with timestamp corresponding to Skype crash. Copy the text from the General tab and post it here.

Please, see this:

http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows/My-skype-kept-stopped-responding-during-voice-calls/m-p/519889...

In several other similar cases (the same error message) the problem was caused by a virus.

a virus that only affects Skype?  Unlikely.  I go through this computer once a week with a battery of anti-virus & anti-malware programs.

This occured AFTER a Windows Update, and only to SKYPE.

Dear

Ifaced this issue before but you should make full scan with an original anty virous and delete the flash from your pc and reinstall it again note that skype and any other programe thats connects with flash will give the same message like media player
