What ho one and all,

Pretty sure this is the wrong forum heading, so if it needs to be re-aligned,...

Using my trusty XP SP3 and have the last version of Skype (7.36) that worked (notice the past tense) under XP installed. Don't use Skype often but the last time, a few months ago, it was fine.

Tried to use it yesterday, and again today, and I receive the weeping graphic with unable to connect, sorry, try again. As the program is not actually starting, i don't know what to do. A Google search found many article related to amending some files but as I don't know what these chances actually do, am very reluctant to run them.

Or is it just a simple MS statement, though luck kiddo, your software is soooo out of date that we have screwed you! Replace everything, including your computer or you are f***ed'

May be I should reinstall Skype?

Grateful for any thoughts,

Toodle pip
