Can't take Skype video snapshots

[Asphodel]

Hi all!
All of a sudden I can't take video snapshots on Skype anymore. Always get an error saying invalid file name or directory. But I haven't changed anything.

Also somehow can't send files on Yahoo messenger.

Please help.

Clear caches, temp folders/files, etc...CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) is good for that. It requires some configuration before running, though. Make sure you read the directions/warnings and if you want to keep logins and such, configure the cookie cleaner part to 'whitelist' the sites you want to keep.

Check your firewall settings.

Scan for malware. Follow the instructions here (http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?t=60009).
