How to install a pre-Microsoft version of Skype?

Ever since Microsoft took over xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype with their xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  media programming and cluttered interface it has been unusable on my WIndows 7 64 bit PC, continually hogging all of my CPU and making the computer freeze and forcing me to restart every time.
Can someone tell me how to install an old version of Skype so I can use this program again?
Thanks

So .. you would like to install as you say, an earlier version and disable updates, yes, you can (6.14 and above).
Now would you like to install an earlier version, that say does not support the new way Skype works, turn off updates and  ... look at the shortcut (it does not support newer technology and will not work on the current infrastructure, just as old cellphones does not work anymore).
Even if the most fluffy nicest bunny company known to man owned Skype, there would be changes, version retirements, new protocols (h265 comming up soon) and a host of other reasons for changes, even country/regional legislation occationally forces software companies to have to change their products and offcourse patents (Apple had to redo Facetime due to not wanting to pay royalties for a patent).

    How do I download a lower version of skype for my iphone 2g?

    This isn't official, but you would have to search your trash bin for a lower version of the application (backups on your computer move older versions of apps to the trash), then just delete the new app from your iDevice and iTunes, then drag the older app into iTunes and sync.

  • How to install SEC with OCMS version 10.1.3.4

    It is said that when install, select customer install and select SCE in install guide of OCMS, but actually when in install l progress, only allow to select component ,such as presence, proxy registrar. No entry for selecting SCE.
    How to install SCE and test example projects in SCE?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Firstly the SUBJECT of your question reads SEC in place of SCE and it is a CUSTOM install not a CUSTOMER Install.
    Coming to answer your question, if you find the latest install guide, you wont see the SCE pre and post install etc in it. SCE has been taken off OCMS. OCCAS (Oracle Communications Converged Application Server) will be the Execution platform of SIP from now on. OCMS Applications too would be merged into OCCAS.
    Hope this answers your question.
    Regards...

  • How to install more CUCCX Editor versions on the same PC?

    Hello,
    is there a workaround to install more CUCCX Editor versions (e.g.: 4.x, 7.x, and 8.x) on the same PC?
    In fact, when a CUCCX Editor is already installed, we have to uninstall it before installing another version.
    TIA and Regards.

    Hi,
    I am hoping that you are trying to install Editor on some client PC, because you can not install Editor on the UCCX box, as you know that by default UCCX install has installed the Editor also.
    Do not manually install the Cisco Unified CCX Editor on a server that is running Cisco Unified CCX. The Cisco Unified CCX Editor application is installed by default when you install Cisco Unified CCX and you will receive an error message if you try to reinstall it.
    Reference:

  • How to install my pre-installed version of ML from my new iMac, in my old macbook?

    i bought an imac that came with ML pre-installed... and i have a macbook that i wish to update to ML... how can i do that without having to buy the downloadable version of ML from the apple store?..... since i already have it preinstalled in the new iMac.. i shouldn't have to buy it since i already did with my new iMac.... please help me solve this issue...

    It always was this way. The disks that shipped with a Mac could not be used on another Mac because they were hardware specific. So, there's a more pragmatic reason you can't use it, it's got specific drivers for your iMac.
    In a recent post, someone tried cloning the system to their old Mac and wound up in a world of grief.

  • How to install Just the 64bit Version?

    I got 32GB of RAM and WIN 7 64bit ENT ED. so why would I want to waist my HDD space with a 32bit version. I only use 32bit if its only available in 32bit. Some advanced options would be nice in the Application Manager

    Nope, still using users HD space and bandwidth. The official June 17th release is still downloading and installing both 32-bit & 64-bit.

  • How to Install Win Vista -English Version on my Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ

    Hello !
    I am an Indian, I purchased *"Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ"* in France. I don't know French Language. I am an software guy.
    One my family friend purchased it in on-line in 2009. It is good configuration but Bad-luck for me is, it contains *French keyboard and French Windows Vista*.
    Anybody know how to solve this problem?
    I am facing lot of problems while while writing software code by using this Frech keyboard because we use English- Qwerty keyboard.
    *And Is it possible to install Toshiba's Windows-Vista -English version on it.*
    I installed generic Win-Vista home edition on it , it is working but there is lot drivers missing, So I am not able to use my Laptop at minimum.
    *Could you give me some information/suggestion to solve my problem.*
    Thank you,
    Regards,

    It's not a problem to dowload all drivers needed either from Toshiba support sites or other good places.
    You need at least Chipset+Audio+Video+Network+Wireless drivers and (maybe) some additional like Touchpad, Quick buttons, Bluetooth, Web camera.
    In rare cases you can google drivers for unknown device (or just recognise it) through vendor/product IDs in device manager (VID_xxxx&PID_yyyy string in device properties).
    Problem with keyboard is simple (in most cases): buy keyboard stickers like this
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=english+Keyboard+STICKERS
    It's not perfect solution but very cheap'n'fast.
    Alternative solutions are laser engraved letters on your keyboard or new english keyboard from Toshiba service (I can't even imagine its price).
    Guess you can't install *Toshiba's* Vista other than bundled with your laptop. But you can buy any boxed version of Windows meets your requirements, even Windows 7. There is no difference between *Toshiba's* and boxed version of Windows exept license limits, so I advise you to think about boxed Win7.

  • How to install for free Microsoft Office on macbook air when already installed it on iMac ?

    I installed on my iMac at home Microsoft-Word for Mac (v. 14.3.6) and would like to also install it for free on my matchbook air. How do I do ? I also subscribed yesterday to Microsoft 365 subscription to use the new Office for iPad; will this help ?

    Since you subscribed to Office365 just log into your account at Microsoft and in the upper right hand corner select My Account. There you'll be able to download Office for your computer. You'll also want to go to Apple's App Store and download the OneDrive app to sync your documents to OneDrive so you can view/edit them on your iPad and keep your two computers synced.
