Hi again : Anglo-Hrvati & others on this Forum !
For years , I've happily used Skype to converse w. friends and family in Croatia ( and elsewhere ) , NIL problems ever ! , with older versions !
I understand that Skype was recently acquired by Microsoft ?
In any case , now the apperarance & access seem to be changing weekly , usually for the much Worse ;
I can't get onto Version 6.7 , not even on 5.1 0r 5.3 beta , wasting absolute hours with this "updated" Crap ;
Ribaric , JustaPixel , anyone else whoever , please : any suggestions or ( better still ) solutions ?
True my PC IS running somewhat slow but that never was an issue before .
Looking forward to any valued replies ,
Bok iz Londona ( I live by The River ), am invited to Korcula after Ferragosto...

Ray Hi Ray I hope that you are well. Can you include some screen shots of the problem. I am in Croatia now and use Skype on a daily basis so no problem for me. Do you have a smartphone, if you have then Viber and Whatsapp that use similar technology may be of some use. Indianalindsay |

Thanxxxx , mate !
Sadly , @ my ripe young age of 64 & being a pensioner ) smartphones , tablets and all others such-like are an anathema to me
( even though I get bombarderded daily by half-a-dozen suppliers / providers /reps etc ...)
I NEED to get on Skype a.s.a.p. ;
tonite/tomorra ,
if at all poss !
the best , simplest versions were , like : 3.7 or so , but now even filehippo won't install them anymore !
What happens :
I "open" Skype A/c , my profile is O.K. , my latest mugshot is "on" , have some 15 quid' credit prepaid AND NIL idea how to get onto the functional programme , to phone or message anyone in CRO or the rest of the world !
Frustrating , as is usual , here in U.K. I have noone else to ask but ignoramus' Anglo-Jinglie sharks & conmen !
Any hints/ideas/solutions/advice ?
Indebted 4Ever , w. thanxxxxx , Stella's on me & chewapi , when next in Zgb ,
regards
Ray ( I live by The River )

Douuble click on who you want to call and you will get their personal page. Double click the green telephone and their Skype rings on their computer. Does that happen for you? |

Douuble click on who you want to call and you will get their personal page. Double click the green telephone and their Skype rings on their computer. Does that happen for you? I'm running SKYPE on win 7 home edition and most of the time it works OK, but it does have issues at certain times. I to think it is now dying a slow death with each new upgrade. Dying from improvements. Anything Microsoft now touches isn't doing very good, even facebook, Tweeter are all now suffering overload, to many improvements, updates and overload on the poor human brain. Going away from simplicity. I guess you have tried uninstalling SKYPE and reinstalling? Make sure you save your contact list. Anyway, my version 6.6.0.0XX works ok, and I call HR and a few other countries. One thing though, my calls to Croatia ain't always good. Calling Aussie or USA seems fine, but with Croatia I get a lot of drop-outs. Could be something to do with them still using copper lines? |
