Windows 7 64-bit - EXTREMELY SLOW!

[X3thyr]

So far from what i see it works.. I followed all of your "Testing Only" steps.

It does kinda lag at Signing In...

imma zombie this topic since no one posted on mine about this same issue (sort of), except its only slow when im in a call.. then it cripples my whole system.. it really sucks.. I have my system installed on my D drive instead of the OS... Thoughts?

You can uninstall and reinstall the latest version of Skype.. as they have fixed some issues in the latest minor update.
I am running Win7x64. Sometimes when im running Visual Studio and watching video alongside and the laptop is sitting on bed, the system become slow (perhaps because the air-in fan is at the bottom ?) Therefore, I use dock. But never with Skype.. Make sure, in your case the cooling system is intact and CPU and GPU is not frying in there.

dude i've got the same thing and i'm running 8 gbs ram, my skypes fine normally but when i start gaming or running something full screen then it's just lags, the call quality is fine but i can't navigate the program? like i can still talk to my friends just that i can't go to my skype and type something to other people and stuff it'd just be frozen and lagg like no tomoro... i tried the deleting shared.xml and config.xml and i've tried versions all the way back till Skype 5.8.0.158 06 March, 2012 (4 months ago) ... I'm also running windoes 7 65-bit

I had the same problem and fixed it by changing the compatibility settings to Windows XP service pack 2. Tried service pack 3 but still had problems. I don't know if it made a difference but I also had skype run with admin privileges.

It's working smooth all the way for me know. No stutters on log in or calls. I would often hear the skype ring tone for up to 15 seconds after the other party had picked up. Seems to be all good now.

Sad they can't seem to figure out how to just get it to run on a 64 bit system though.

Quick question to anyone: Does anyone have Facebook Syncing to their Skype?

I've had Massive slow down lockups with the syncing, so if you have it enabled disable and that should make everything work better, I had massive fixes, was a god send :3

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed?
What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Take a backup first. Only copy main.db file and pictures folder.
