Skype
XP Home SP3.
Last time I used Skype was about nine years ago. Anybody know of a safe site I can download Skype from? Link to download if possible. Classic 7.40.0.104 from Major Geeks did not work. Thanks |

(Reply here not to me; I still haven't got 6, 7, _or_ 8 to work on this Windows 7 machine - "Skype can't connect" - despite it working fine on another 7 machine right next to it.

"This program (Skype) does not support the version of Windows your computer is using" I've read that MS do not want to make it easy for XP users. Went to the Skype site and downloaded a much earlier version. Oh yes, they want to give me all these wonderful free tools that will scan, fix and make my computer as fast as lightening. Click on decline on every wonderful offer. The earlier version did not work. Nothing happened. Did a scan. Loads of spyware and nine PUPs. Sod this for a game of soldiers. |
