Ever since this afternoon, whenever I start Skype it crashes a few seconds later. A quick gooogle round turned up a few snippets about more people having the same problem. The recent MS takeover of Skype was mooted as being the culprit.
Anyone else having trouble?

Re: Skype playing up
If you are still having problems you will find instructions on the Skype website to fix the problem - you have to delete a file and all is back to normal. Not sure what happened - but MS haven't completed the purchase so cant be blamed - they had an outage at Christmas when a server failed - almost certainly the same problem this time.

Thanks Mark.
Just had another snoop around and Skype have issued an updated installation which I have installed and it seems to fix it.

Re: Skype playing up
Very strange, because we didn't have any problems at all with our Skype, we must have the bullet proof version over here in NI? Well, there was one problem, you lot all stopped talking to us, but no change there.
