Just recently built a new computer, and reused the old 750GB HDD from my previous build, as well as reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I've installed all my necessary drivers, updates, and Service Pack 1, and i've continued to attempt installing skype and getting it working. However, when I open skype, it just does its little loading animation and then says "Skype has stopped responding." I also noticed that when I attempted to open it, two skype symbols showed up on my task bar. I was wondering if a file in windows.old is affecting it? When I try to resolve the problem it says another program is affecting it.

Nevermind, apparently there's a new "http glitch" where people can send a link and cause Skype 7.5 to crash when startup. I just now created a new skype and everything is ok now.

I believe that there is updated Skype for this now as well; or a patch.
