Skype does not allow me to sign in using either of...

It has been a while since i've first encountered this problem, namely I cannot use my Microsoft accounts when booting Windows XP.
I have no problems when using Vista, Windows 7 or Linux, and I can sign in with my Microsoft account and use Skype as usual but I do have this issues with Windows XP. I can use my Skype name to sign in but I cannot use my Microsoft account to sign in under Windows XP. I always get the following message:
"Sorry, we don't recognize your sign in details .. Please check your Skype name and password, then try again..."
I suppose this has something to do with Microsoft end of support for Windows XP .. it is either this or maybe it has something to do with my present location --> Eastern Europe-Romania?
Solved!

P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.
Irrelevant to YOU, but ridiculous to me and all other users of skype that it is dependant on IE from now on!!!
short to tell. once upon a time skype was built it was independent software piece such way that it never needed IE or other certain www browser, also it did not annoyed with commercials, had much wider operating system support. After microsoft took over it went worse and worse.
at first the skype version 5 suddenly quit (on XP machine) in july. until then it worked fine and it never needed Internet Explorer to be installed.
still to me skype version 3.5 worked fine on even win98se (!!) until the end of august 2014. It was SEVEN YEARS!!! ALl other newer versions forced to be updated, but that version was good as there was no need for IE, and no need for updating! It was perfect just if needed for textchat and audio. There was no technical issues and all worked fine with both text and audio. While there was issues to newest skype users with internet worms or annoying commercials, I never had those problems.
 However there is NO need to force for updates as the "newest quality experiences of modern skype" are just more than disaster!
However there is no need to force for updates or to show commercial since majority will not buy anyway and the initial idea behind skype was allowing free communication.
What is now is complete disaster -- skype depends on IE (it never was in older versions such as 4.5). IE depends on windows XP atleast. and voila! complete dependency chain where user has no power about it, is much slower than ever, does not work anymore on older systems, forced updates policy.
Why f*ck everything has to be based on IE ?!??? It worked better without it.
so "thanks" for messing up again for another piece of great software!
my friends are asking why I am not using skype and I always say that just send complains to skype.com and microsoft becouse thats their software politics and doing things!

  • Skype does not allow me to call some Italian numbe...

    Hello,
    I want to call the following number: 011-81383xx (Torino, Italy). I select +39 in the country list and copy the number. The 0 has to stay before 11. But Skype tells me the number is incorrect and shortens it to +81383xx.
    I know that with some numbers, the 0 has to be removed, but I think it is necessary in this case, but Skype does not allow me to leave it.
    Thank you for your help !

    HI Friend,
    Probably the problem it is because your iPhone 4 and your car have the same Bluetooth technology ( 2.1 ), but iPhone 5 has new Bluetooth technology ( 4.0 ).

  • My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas.

    Few days ago I started having strange problems with my Illustrator CS5 application. I am using MacBook Pro with Intel Processor.  After major update on the Mac OS  few days ago  I noticed I can not change colors in my drawings using swatches panel. The function on my Illustrator CS5 stopped working.  When I select object and try to change its fill or stroke color using fill and stroke from the options bar above work space,  none of the swatches would work.  The are there how ever nothing hapends when I select them, the color remains the same.The same thing happens if I try to use the swatch panel, I select the object then I try to select new color from swatch but the fill or stroke does not change. I can only change color on my drawings using the color panel but that is not useful for me since I need to get precise colors using approved color swatches ether from pantone library or approved by client.
    The other strange thing is my selection tool does not deselect when I click outside on or of the artboard, the object remains selected until I reselect another object or use the keyboard short cut to deselect it.
    I have tried various options to resolve the issue from deleting and reseting preference to completely uninstalling and  reinstalling Illustrator CS5. I even installed back my old CS4 version because I had to complete a project  and the same issue is happens there as well. I also reset the application using Time Machine from few months ago when it was working correctly. What happens when I reset or reinstall the app, it works for  about 10 min correctly as it should and and then it reverts to the same problem. I am out of options and do not know what else I could  do to fix this. Right now I am working on my old Mac tower G5 and CS4 where everything works as it is suppose to, but I really need to get this fixed. Can any one help or has solution for my problem? Please.

  • FaceTime does not allow me to sign in

    Hi
    My FaceTime requests me to log in (iPad), I do and then it asks me to verify the number/emails to use. Which I do.
    On verifying it returns me back to the log in screen. Pass word is fine as I can and am using ft on my iPhone.
    My iPhone is fine so it's not a ft issue per se. Is this experienced by other users?
    Any help appreciated.

    When i try to login with my apple id i keep on getting error saying "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occured(-50)." I get this error everytime i try logging into my account. But still i can access to the iTunes store. I had recently downloaded this iTunes software into my new windows 8.1 laptop so i think it is up to date. I have earlier used this apple ID into another iTunes conneted to my older PC(I haven't logged out from it yet.Could that be the problem?).

    Ok.

  • Blackberry Link - not recognizing device and does not allow synching calendar and contacts

    I cannot get Blackberry Link to work properly on my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro.  It takes a very long time to open and it does not allow me to sign in saying there is no internet connection and I cannot get around resolving this issue.  That is problem 1.  Problem 2, Blackberry Link sometimes recognizes the device and sometimes it does not.  Problem 3, when I do get Link to recognize the device, (it can backup), synching the calender and contacts on the device to Outlook does not work.  I try to do a one way synch from the device to outlook and it processes but Outlook is not updated (outlook has no contacts or calendar events as I want to pull them off my device).
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

  • What's wrong with my device?  It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber...  Can someone help?

    What's wrong with my device?  It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber...  Can someone help?

    My device is a Blackberry Z30.  Skype and Viber just to work fine.  I had to travel abroad and turn off data services while traveling outside of the US but the applications worked just fine with Wi-Fi.  Suddenly they stopped working to make calls.  I can still send text messages, but when I try to do a voice or video call (in the case of skype), it only says "failed call" and when I try to call using Viber I get an error message that says the I can not use the application until I complete my GMS call which is ridiculous because I'm not using the phone other than trying to place my call through Viber. The interesting thing is that when I go the permission page in my security settings everything indicates that its on but is gray out and I do not have access to change any setting.  The same in both applications.  The rest of the applications are accessible to change settings.   I already uninstalled skype and reinstalled it and still the same problem.  I'm ready to back up everything and wipe out the device to original settings. 

  • Why does Skype do not allow to delete conversation with single contact?

    IT is a simple question only if Skype can be HONEST and answer it truthfully.. What is the reason that we can not have a feature where we can delete the single conversation with one contact. Now the option skype has does not allow that. You either delete your entire history with all contacts or you have to keep the conversation history you do not want to keep.. I mean It has to be on purpose that Skype has not allowed this option. If you absolutely do not care and will not allow this option, then at least be honest and tell us this is the reason and we can either shut up or move on to some other service... I doubt I will get an honest ansewer

    Ever since MS bought Skype, it has gone to craps.. but I guess just like anything else in corporate America, Ethics is not the words, Executives want to hear.. I AM SURE  Mr. Sweden was not so " I do not give a S&&%T " kinda guy when he developed the Skype but then money came in and he said, WHY NOT? let us do whatever makes us most money and here we are , perfect exploitations of users just because we use free product so we have no right to complain

  • I would like to sign up for the HP online classes. But it does not allow me to.

    I would like to sign up for the HP online classes.  But it does not allow me to. Each time I click on the button I get an error message from internet explorer.

    Hi Kathleen: Can you tell me what version Internet Explorer you are using? In the mean time you can sign up for classes by visting web-site. http://h30187.www3.hp.com/?tab=atHome&jumpid=hpr_R1002_USEN  Ounce you signed in the rest of the stuff is done through e-mail. I can only give direction on how to set setting in Internet Explorer 8. Internet Explorer 9 I would have to go to MSN.com Read all the website pages and watch all the demo videos. Buy the way is this a new computer? If so in your Internet Explorer  favorites all HP links are listed in HP file. They are preprogram in the computer. Just click on link that has a line on the bottom. Web page will open to sign up for classes.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Acrobat does not allow connection to

    Need help with this error message please.  Using Win7, saved a Word 2010 table of contents with multiple links to pdf files across internal servers as a PDF.  Also created the word doc w/multiple pdf links as a PDF file using acrobat9 standard and have same problems.   when a user with Adobe Reader 8+ clicks on a pdf link in the PDF table of contents file, they get an error message Acrobat does not allow connection to:   and they cannot open the linked file.  However, I am able to open the files using the same links with both reader and acrobat.   
    This worked previously until we upgraded to these versions of software... the error message shows a number of % signs and multiple ////.  However, i can open the fiile but others cannot.
    anyone have any ideas or is this a fix that i need to download?  

    not sure where my previous reply went; however, there are numerous machines at varuious sites that will be accessing this server/folder.  I am not sure if it is a trusted sites issue as the file lists numerous PDF links and some of them open to the respective pdf file and others recieve the mssage.  All the files reside on the same server within the same main folder and within subfolders.  never had the problem before.  the users can open some of the linked files and others the connection msg appears.  I however, am able to open the same links they get the error on.  I am totally baffled by this and have been troubleshooting for weeks now.  I just had acrobat X installed to see if that would help but still problem.  I also saved the word doc (2010) as pdf (which lists the links to the other pdfs) but users still have same problem.  there are approx 75 links within this doc and I truly hope we don't have to relink everything..

  • Cannot preview SSRS report in Visual Studio 2012 - assembly does not allow partially trusted callers

    Hi,
    I have an SSRS report that works fine in Visual Studio 2008 BIDS.  This report references a .Net assembly namely:
    System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
    I use this assembly in some simple Code functions in the report. e.g.
    System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(inURL).ToString
    I have converted the SSRS project to 2012 and am trying to preview the report.  However, I get an error relating to: "That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers".  If i deploy the rdl to my local SSRS it renders fine, but
    how do I fix Visual Studio to preview the report without error? This is highly annoying.
    My Visual Studio version is:
    Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012
    Version 11.0.61030.00 Update 4
    Microsoft .NET Framework
    Version 4.5.51641
    SQL Server Reporting Services  
    Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers
    Version 11.0.3402.0
    Any help is appreciated on this one.
    Regards,
    MrHH

    Hi MrHappyHead,
    According to your description, you used custom assembly in the report, when you run the report in Visual Studio 2008, the report works fine. When you run the report in Visual Studio 2012, the error message occurred: "That assembly does not allow partially
    trusted callers".  But the report works fine after you deployed it to report manager.
    Only applications that are fully trusted by the runtime code access security system are allowed to access a shared managed code assembly that is not explicitly marked with the System.Security.AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute. A partially trusted assembly
    (one that is registered in SQL Server with the SAFE or EXTERNAL_ACCESS permission set) that attempts to access a strong-name signed assembly without this attribute causes a System.Security.SecurityException to be thrown. To troubleshoot the problem, please
    refer to the following steps:
    Add namespace system.security to AssemblyInfo.cs file
    Add [assembly:allowpartiallytrustedcaller] to the file.
    Set trust level to "Full" in web.config file
    For more information, please refer to the following document:

    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
