Have you flushed your DNS?

run> cmd> ipconfig/flushdns

Do it twice.

I'd also delete all cookies and temporary files in the browser you are using. Then log out and shut down your computer, wait a few minutes and log back in.

Try un-installing then installing again if it will work.

Try uninstalling Skype and installing the latest version.

You may also want to try the following:

Please do a Skype reset:

1. Ensure that "Show hidden files and folders" is switched on.
Click Start and then Run Type "control folders" and click OK. In the View tab, ensure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled

2. Exit Skype : From the system tray >> right click on the skype icon and click "Quit Skype"

3. Click Start >> Run Type: %appdata% Rename folder "Skype" to "Old_Skype".

4. Re-run Skype

I also had similar problem, because of Skype plugins... Uninstall and install it once more (But!!! The newest version!)

That's weird, I have never had any problems with Skype, hopefully I didn't just jinx it. Glad you got it solved.

Hi,

I came across the same problem as this is. So what I did was I deleted the temp files for skype present in program files.

Thanks
