Unique and Serious Problem with Skype, PLEASE READ!!!

Hi im having a very annoying problem with skype and i have tryed multiple methods to fix it with no success. I am using a windows 7 laptop 64 bit that was upgraded from windows vista. The problem usually includes skype stops producing sound along with my computer, it freezes the volume control up alltogether and also causes League of legends to crash when im playing it (adobe air debug launcher) skype will still show up as responsive but i cant do anything in it. When i try and close skype it refuses to close and freezes up and the only way i can close it is by ending the process in task manager. The only way i can fix volume control and skype is by restarting my laptop.

 

Note: Skpe runs perfecly for a random amount of time before this annoying problem happens

 

Here is a list of fixes i have tried:

 

Completely uninstall skype

 

Restore Ie to defaul

 

Install most recent version and install previous versions

 

 

The problem usually happens randomly but sometimes it happens when i do something like quit, answer or make a call or plug in my mic ( microsoft lifechat 3000 )

 

Guys plz help me coz i rlly need to use skype for gaming and assignments with my friends

new development when i try and shut down my comp after the problem happens explorer.exe stops the comp from shutting down because its playing the shutdown sound, this only happens after the problem happens and it may have something to do with the sound glitching out

I've been having a very similar problem, haven't you figured out on how to fix it. Because it is getting very frustrating.
