Installing skype windows 8 1

I recently received a msg saying my old version of skype would no longer function and i would have to update to the new version. so i tried...... many many times. i followed all the appropriate links and downloaded all i needed to download but it the end it either wouldn't let me sign in, or (as it did on the first couple of attempts) it loaded skype and let me use it but skype would not open again having been closed, in these cases i was directed to update my skype.. again. I`m finding it hard to believe that  there are so many problems with a program that is owned by Microsoft. Does anybody know of a fix ???

Try to install the currently latest Skype 7.7.0.103 version using this installer: http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_7.7.0.103.msi

  • Installed Skype and now Flash Player won't open in new window

    I installed the latest version of Skype and now Flash Player does not work properly.
    I just bought a new laptop, it has Windows 7, 32 bit, IE 9, and Flash 10.
    A website that I go to all the time uses Flash Player so when you click on a link in the site it pops out the player into a new window and you can listen while you still browse on their site.  After I installed Skype last night, that 'pop-out' function is no longer there.  The player now replaces the webpage and it is very large and distorted because it is supposed to be in a small pop-out window.  No matter what I click, I can't get the link to open in a new window, it always opens in the same window replacing the webpage.
    I uninstalled Skype and then used the manual uninstaller of Flash because the uninstall would not work from the uninstall screen in Windows.  I then reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I still have the same problem.
    Is this a setting that I can change somewhere??
    Thank you.

    Hi eidnolb, thanks for the reply.
    I did uninstall the google toolbar that was installed with skype.
    I now found that it is not just flash player that won't open in a new window, I can't get any link at all to open in a new tab or a new window.
    I tried restoring IE's settings and that did not work.
    I know this is an adobe forum and my problem is now much larger than just adobe, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    I have Windows XP set for auto updates from Microsoft. Today the auto update attempted to install Skype 5.10 for Windows (KB2727727). The installation failed. I went to the download suggested in "Solution" - and the installation failed. The error message for the failure stated that I had another version installed. Which, of course, is the case whenever you have an update. Is there any way to install this update without completely removing Skype?  I don't want to loose everything stored in the program and start over again.

  • Can install "Skype for Windows" and "Skype for Bus...

    Hi! All,
    "Skype for Business" has been installed into my office PC.
    I would like to know that I can install "Skype for Windows" into this same PC or not?
    Is there any conflict in using between these two editions on same PC?
    Thanks!

    I have had both installed for months.  I have not run into any problems with them both being present.  I could see there being an issue if you plan to accept a call if you are on another call with the opposite client (since the mic/playback hardware would already be in use).

  • Windows 10, unable to install Skype Desktop Version - missing "Agree - next" button

    Good afternoon Community,I got a a new tablette and upgraded streight away from Windows 8 to 10. I tried to install Skype Desktop but do not get further than the screen where to select the language (within the skype installer). In fact, I have an empty grey bar on the bottom of the install which usually contain "Read user conditions" and a bottom "agree conditions and next". As said, the bar is empty, no link for privacy statement and no bottom to proceed. Any suggestions how to solve the issue and install skype desktop (not the Modern Windows version from windows store)? Many thanks

    With the setup running with the gray box, does anything happen when you use a real/virtual keyboard and press enter?  I just upgraded my 10 inch tablet running Windows 8.1 with Bing to Windows 10 Home and I did not run into any issues.

  • Problems installing Skype for Windows Desktop on my 8.2 system

    My Windows 8.1 computer is telling me the Skype app has changed so I must uninstall and re-install Skype for Windows Desktop. I duly did this but I cannot access Skype, it won't accept my Skype name and password combination. Three times I have gone through the process to change my password, which takes me through the process of changing my Microsoft account password because I had to create one when I bought my computer and link absolutely everything to it. This still doesn't solve the issue and I have now reached the end of my tether with Windows 8.1. It's been nothing but trouble, completely non-user friendly and I am not a dim wit when it comes to technology. What must I do to be able to access Skype?

    I've downloaded Skype Translator & that works on my tablet.  Why on earth did they 'break' the normal version of Skype?

  • Unable to install Skype on Windows 8.1

    Can anyone suggest solutions for installing Skype on Windows 8.1?  After installing it, I've tried using the Echo/Test Call service or Skypeing a friend.  However, each time, I receive the following error: "Skype has stopped working.  A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available") I've tried to install Skype V7.7.85.  My Acer Ultrabook PC was bought new in mid-March 2015.  I've been working with Microsoft's tech support today (2 sessions each took 1.5 hours each).  So far to troubleshoot the issue they did the following: 1. Ran Malwarebytes - Anti-Malware.  Cleaned up my computer's registry, ran Computer Clean-up.2. Installed the latest Windows Updates.3.  Tried several times (about 3) to uninstall and re-install Skype.  They included the Click-To-Call option during the installation.4. Re-ran Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware.  No problems were detected.5. The tech support person suggested that he reset my entire PC and install Windows 10. As I'm loathe to have to do this (as this sounds like all Windows users who want to use Skype would need to upgrade their OS to Windows 10, which sounds rather odd), I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a solution to this Skype installation problem? Thanks!

    Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit). Run dxdiag.exe (Start - Run or Win key +R) then press enter or click "OK". Once the diagnostics completes, "Save All information..." to a text file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

  • Can't install skype on Windows 10

    So i upgraded to Windows 10 and afterwards started installing Skype. 
    It gives system failure (-1073741819), but it has worked for years without any problems whatsoever. Even when reinstalling numerous times. 

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start  and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program.

  • Error while installing Skype; code 1603

    Good evening,
    Today my girlfriend tried to update her Skype but she got an error code:
    - You can not remove the older version of Skype / tm 6.18. Contact your technical support group
    - Error while installing Skype; code 1603
    She tried some solutions I believe but nothing seemed to help, I'm not sure what she did so far, I guess it's not to much. Maybe somebody got an idea what it can be? Please help.
    Netbook: Acer
    Windows 7
    Thanks in advance, I would really like to know the solution since I can't wait to be able to Skype with her in a normal way again.
    Greetings,
    PS: Lately when I was spending time on Skype with her I barely saw her, and we thought that updating her Skype might solve the problem, somebody knows if this would solve her problem? Or maybe it's a problem with her internet?

    Thanks for the fast reply, but we are not quite there yet unfortunatly.. When she tries to download http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.18.0.105.msi she gets the message:
    The Installed Product does not match the installation source(s). Until a matching source is provided or the installed product and source are synchronized, this action can not be performed.
    So we can't really get started till this is solved. You might know a solution?
    We also tried the http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en We got quite far with this but in the end we had 2 messages:
    - Cannot install or uninstall a program (Not fixed)
    - Corrupt Patch Registry keys (Fixed)
    Is this a good sign? I really don't know myself.
    Thanks in advance again!
    Greetings

  • Can't install Skype on Android lollipop for Sony X...

    I Just updated mi Android to lollipop and what was my surprise Skype wasn't working so I unistalled it and tried to install it again but it can't be even downloaded, had tried several times and always get error code 495. Any ideas??? I do need it for my work meetings and familiar issues.

    What is wrong with your system is that you have an old CPU (AMD Sempron 2500+, 1.75GHz) without support for SSE2 instruction set. Skype 7.6/7.7 version will crash on such a system, but Skype 7.5 may work. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Cannot-install-Skype/m-p/4039905#M355091
