I am new to this forum so sorry if I am posting in the wrong section.

Problem:

Every time I try to login to Skype a message comes up saying:

"Skype has stopped working, Windows is looking for a solution. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avaliable"

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it is not working. I've also reset my computer and that too isn't working.

ideas?

Conflicts are pretty common for Windows programs. Re-installing the program and rebooting was a good idea. Since it didn't help, I can suggest the following
1. install a newer/older version of Skype
2. contact Skype support
3. re-install Windows
4. use Skype alternatives like Google Talk

I have the exact same problem, it just started out of nowhere today. Help would be much appreciated.

I have tried all of the solutions suggested in online help sites including uninstalling and reinstalling Skype with no success. Skype site is no help.
Any ideas how to solve this problem? Would another program be compatible with contacts who are successfully using Skype?

I had the same problem two days ago, now it works but it's really weird...
