Our lass in Australia (organising 2012 Solar Eclipse) had a similar problem a couple of hours ago.

Hi stevo-london,

There's a new update for Skype,

Version 5.3.0.113

Click on HELP at the top of the Skype page,

then click on ABOUT SKYPE, this will tell you what version you're running.

If it's not the up to date version, go back to HELP tab,

then click on CHECK FOR UPDATES.

Good luck.

Navek

Hi stevo-london,

Sounds like it's a temporary fault.

Let's hope so.

The problem seems to be with windows 7. Mine stopped working 2 days ago and have had to revert to my old lapt top with XP. Our friends are having a simmilar problem, theirs won't work on windows 7 but does on vista.all have down loaded the latest version of Skype.

Msg 16

No need to phone back, I was just testing my Skype connection (via Extend) to you and all was working okay.

You need to delete a file in order to use whichever skype version you are on. email me on john@cartridgeisland.com for exact notes.



I have actually deleted my Skype v5.3 and gone back to v4.2 - Better video and sound, interface not too much of a change.



WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO backup your contacts - just in case, I didn't have a problem
