[QUOTE="Tabeer, post: 575928, member: 46151"] These types of issues mostly occur by a common combination of Skype and Google Chrome. To fix this issue do the following: [B]Google Chrome:[/B] In Google Chrome, go to Settings > Show Advanced Settings ... > Privacy > Prefetch resources to load pages more quickly and untick it. See Figure-1 below: [IMG]http://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=ade0fd77-44c3-4d51-a9fa-ecfdcb64fd3e[/IMG] [B]Skype:[/B] Make sure you have exited Skype and it is not running in the taskbar (if it is running in the taskbar then quit it). Open Windows Explorer and open the following folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\" Now right click "Skype.exe" file and then click "Properties" and open the "Security" tab. Click the "Edit" button and then highlight "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" and place a tick in the "Write" box. Click "Apply" and then "OK" and then "OK" again.
