Skype for Business crashes

I am using office 365 for business on a Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop (Lenovo Yoga).

Skype for Business is crashing. It starts up OK but then crashes soon after whilst I am using it to join/create a meeting. I am getting the following Application Error. I also from time to time get a Side by Side error. I have copied the details from the event viewer. I have run sxstrace for the side by side error and attached the logfile from that too. Can anyone suggestion what I can do to fix these errors? I don't really know what to do next.

The application error suggests a problem with MSVCR110.dll. The side by side error suggests a problem with UccApi.dll

The Application error is:

Faulting application name: lync.exe, version: 15.0.4711.1002, time stamp: 0x551a0d44

Hi,

1. Rollback the Sound Card, VGA Device/Video Card, Graphic Card to which Windows applied. Then restart SFB.

2. Make sure SFB update to the latest version.

Best Regards,
