Skype won't work!

DiamondGod · Jun 21, 2014

So, recently (in the last month or so) Skype has started to crash whenever I try to open the program. Sometimes the crash will be immediate and other times Skype will last 5-10 minutes until it crashes. This is a problem for me as it makes it harder for me to reply and communicate to my friends if not in a call, as this problem seems to keep the calls up.
This started to happen after the recent updates for Skype. Is there a way to fix this without installing an older version of Skype onto my laptop (windows 7) as I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Skype and the same problems keep occuring. If not, where can I find the older versions of Skype to install?

Thanks, in advance.

Here are some more methods you can try. Do these in order and then try running skype after ea method.
1. Turn your router/modem off. Wait a few minutes. Turn it on again.
2. Turn your wifi on and off your computer (Not sure what laptop you have. Sometimes there is a w-ifi switch on some laptops. On others they have to press an f-key of some sort. )
3. Run the cmd as adminstrator. Type ipconfig /release. Wait a few minutes. Type ipconfig /renew. Wait a few minutes
4. Try installing skype portable @ http

/portableapps.com/apps/internet/skype_portable
5. Try downloading an old version of skype such as Skype 6.9.0.106 or Skype 6.3.0.107
from this website http

Hope this works
