but they are correct. With nobody to call, I have no idea what to do?

After a seemingly endless trek around the SKYPE website (why is therev no telephone number to speak to an actual person!?!), I finally found a link to re-installation (without needing to unistall the original).  Now I am back in action
It took about ten minutes

  • "Your skype name and password were not recignized"

    Hi,
    Can someone please help me? I'm trying to login using my usual login name but it says "Your skype name and password were not recignized". I used it few of days ago and it was fine until last Sunday (04-Dec). I've already contacted support team 2 days ago but they don't seem to care too much!
    Can someone explain me what is going on?
    Details for this account are:

    What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

    What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
    In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
    P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

  • Skype name and password field stays blank

    I can't click on or type in the Skype name or password field. It just says like this: http://prntscr.com/80dv5c . I have 64-bit Windows 7.

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-w​​indows_7/cant-type-into-website-boxes-in-ie11wind​... If typing in Interenet Explorer doesn't work, then you will not be able to type on Skype login window, as this window is created and managed using Internet Explorer engine installed on your computer. As you can see, there might be several causes of this misbehaviour, and you should look at any antivirus/protection software installed on your computer. Meanwhile you can try to make use of the “legacylogin” workaround, which should enable login to Skype using the old legacy login window. However, you will not be able to login using Microsoft account (email address). Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes. Open this folder on your computer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\ You should see there the Skype application file (Skype.exe).  Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe"  /legacylogin Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Try now login to Skype?

    I have several skype names, and if I want to use more than 1, do I need to have a separate account for each name, or do the minutes purchased apply to my email address, not to the skype name?

    Hi, sunandfun7, and welcome to the Community!
    Each Skype name is a different account, so anything purchased by that account can be used only for or on that account.  In other words, purchases are tied to a specific Skype account, not to an e-mail address.

    Hi Tamin,
    I have done what you asked for, disabled Avira and started Skype.
    However, I had again exactly the same problem: My login details were not recognized.
    Two comments:
    1) Different to what you described, I did not have a single box where I could (Un)Active Avira.
    Instead, I have three options for (un)activating: (a) Real time scanner, (b) eMail protection, (c) browser protection. (I have translated these words from my German version of Avira, and I hope the translation into English is adequate here.) For doing the test that you wanted me to do, I have unactivated ALL three possibilities, but my login details were still not recognized
    2) What do you thing about the issue about changing the hard disk drive ID?
    According to this link here http://jasonyi.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/your-skype-name-and-password-were-not-recognized-please-chec... that user had the same problem than I have and changing the hard disk drive ID seemingly resolved the problem. However, I do not know, whether I would cause any instabilities in my computer when I change the HDD ID.
    I hope you have further advise.
    Thank you very much in advance,
    and best regards,
    Nicklas

  • Directory Utility: "Name and Password you entered... do not match."  ????

    Happy New Year all!
    OS X 10.5 Server I think is slowly trying to kill me. I've had to re-install the system 3 times in as many months because of corruption with user accounts.
    What I am struggling with currently is Directory Utility. All clients have accounts set up on the server. If they are local (plugged into the LAN), Directory Utility works like a champ and configures the desired services as advertised. However, when they are remote from the site, Directory Utility is able to locate and communicate with the server and offers to set up all services (just as when connected to the LAN), but when asked to authenticate an error message states:
    "The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match."
    It makes no difference which username (standard user or admin) I try. At the same time those laptops that were configured locally but used remotely continue to work perfectly communicating with the server.
    Reading through the forums, I saw some (related?) suggestions recommending making changes to the options under the "Services" tab within Directory Utility (like unchecking LDAPv3). But I haven't found a combination of changing those options that gives me success. Someone else having a similar problem speculated it might have something to do with being behind an airport or router messing up the authentication. ???
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about this?
    Thanks!

    Ok Hannah. I have just had a bit of a read of some articles on the net and it seems that getting Hotmail to work with Mail.app is not easy.
    You may find some of the discussion in this thread helpful. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193359
    It starts off talking about mail on iPhone but towards the end there are some ideas about getting it going on Lion.
    It seems that an alternative is to try a plug-in for Mail.app that handles the communications with Hotmail. You may want to look at http://www.hawkwings.net/2011/07/26/hotmail-yahoo-and-lions-mail/  for some links. Note that I don't have Hotmail so I can not vouch for any of this.
