Hello Regulus, Welcome to PCHF!

We have a great team of techs and a very knowledgeable member community here so I am sure we will be able to help you!

First things first - have you made sure you are running the latest version of Skype? The link for version 4.1 (the latest) can be found here

If you are already running 4.1, Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it?

If so let us know and I will refer you to one of our techs for further assistance

Regards,

Smokeycheech

Regulus,

I've got to tell you - this is a new one for me. If you have a bit of time, I'll research....

Hello Regulus,

It appears that I lost your issue in my "pile". I can only apologize. Do you still desire assistance for your Skype issue?
