Downloading Skype 5.5 on a Windows 7 Laptop

Hi all
I've recently bought a HP Laptop with Windows 7 installed on it.
I have Been trying to download it for a while now.
I have tried 3 seperate Installers, Updated my software and looked on most of these help post's to find my solution. But to no avail.
I really need some help with this.
What happens is this: I open up the downloader and it begins to download saying "initialising download" for a while, then it will start to steadily download the file.
Then without any provocation it will stop downloading completely and then start again on 0% saying it is initialising the download.
If anyone has any ideas how to help it will be appreciated. I dont know much about the computer itself hardware wise or screen resolution wise but ive given you all the information i know of.

please try the links and suggesions mentioned here;

  • How do I download photostream videos on to my Windows 8 laptop?

    I put several videos on a shared photostream (on my iPhone 5c, iOS 7.1.2) and deleted them from my camera roll, assuming I could download them back on to my phone at a later time. I then found out that you cannot download videos from photostreams. I searched how to, and discovered you can download videos from a photostream to a Winndows PC. How can I do this?

    Go to the shared stream on your phone and enable the Public Website option (open the shared stream, tap People at the bottom, slide Public Website on, tap Share Link and email it to yourself).  Open the email on your PC, tap the link to go to the shared stream, click on the video, then click "Download" at the top.
    You may need to wait a while after enabling the public website option for it to be uploaded to the web so it's available to download.

    I can't download skype onto my laptop. each time i try it comes up with Error: Unfortunately the Skype executable is corrupted. Please re-install.I'm so close to throwing the laptop out of the window I need help, please!

    Nothing is corrupted, but most likely the problem is with nVidia graphic card driver. See e.g. this:

  • Ever since i downloaded skype to chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open

    ever since I downloaded skype to video chat with a friend with a pc my ichat won't open - suggestions?

    Hi,
    So the DOCK looks like this ?  (Or at least the Lion version of that)
    The Menu Bar Icon looks like this ?
    Ok if the App is open and you click once on the icon  (Speech Bubble with Camera) in the DOCK all that will happen is that any iChat Window will come to the front.
    This of course does need there to be an Open iChat Window.
    Can you access the iChat Menu itself and Preferences from there ?
    In the accounts section does it list any Accounts apart from the Bonjour one ?
    In the Account info tab (If there is more tan one tab) does it say Use this Account and is the check box ticked ?
    If before quitting iChat you close all the Windows including the Buddy List and then Quit iChat it will remember the Window state when you start it up again.
    In fact the Window menu will tell you which Accounts are Logged in and these (if more than one) should match the "Use this Account" ones in the iChat Preferences.
    Using the red button only "Hides" the Buddy List it does not log it out or Quit the app.
    Does the Window menu list any Account  like this pic does ?
    (Example from iChat 4 with the Chax Add on (more Menu items) icons)
    Does the Menu Bar icon (Second pic above) show you any Buddies in the drop down you see ?
    This is my drop down menu for iChat 4 when iChat is Off
    As you can see it says it is Off Line.
    Selecting "Available" does nor launch the app for me either as it does not know which of the 6 Screen Names I usually Login is the one I want to be "Available"
    I can understand the Menu (Drop Down) may have changed in iChat 6.
    Nothing you have added in the last two posts indicates to me that Skype is in any way responsible  (Not that I would normally wnaty to defend it)
    Neither does it point  to anything but a normal functions of iChat if you close it down in a certain way.
    Also check the System Preferences > General Pane in Lion (it is called Appearance in earlier versions)
    This has a new setting that can set for all App the ability to remember which windows were open the next time the app is launched.  (i.e if a graphics app had a pallet open this would be remembered. However if all windows are closed but the app is still running when Quit this "windowless State" would be the one remembered)
    (What is does do for iChat is return the "Remember  Open Chats on Quit" from iChat 4 that got lost in iChat 5)

  • Get Skype - always running in background - Windows 10

    Hi,as we know that Windows 10 comes with an in-built app called "Get Skype".
     Now clicking on the "Download Skype" button it actually downloads the Desktop version of Skype.  Which has a issue with Quiting Skype a & which has been mentioned here - http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-not-letting-me-quit-on-Windows-10/td-p/4064192
    But moreover what I found out is that even after I have installed Skype by clicking the Download Skype button from Get Skype app and even if my Skype desktop version is closed, the "Get Skype" App is still running on the background and destrying my resouce. Infact I don't even understand that whats the point of having that "Get Skype" app all along when it does not do anything but showing an hyperlink? 

    I actually haven't had issues quitting Skype on Windows 10, though some have.  If you are having issues using the taskbar/shortuct icon to quit, then try quitting using the system tray/notification icon.    The other version of Skype is Modern Skype which has been discontinued on PCs.  You can uninstall it to free up resources as it no longer serves a purpose once you have the desktop version installed. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12228
