Skype Has Stopped Working

[Namkar]

I am running Windows 7 64 bit and have not installed SP1 up till now. I have attached the file records of several of the last times I tried to unlock it. Any help is deeply respected. I was running Skype in compatibility mode for Windows Vista SP2. This is because Skype for Windows 7 is absurd and does not leave the taskbar and functioning in compatibility mode operation allows you to take out the taskbar. Anyone have any idea how I solve this issue?

I had the Skype trouble, it initiate with the dll then later than login it crash, uninstall and reinstall did not fix, so under irritation I wish to run it beneath XP mode (I have windows 7 x64 sp1. My other XP PC work flawlessly), and discover it is previously check on the comparability’s for XP mode, so I unmark it and the Skype is functioning fine now. Or just try this: Advanced options. Unmark "Keep Skype in taskbar ...”. I just wish this work for all.

Later than spending 5 hours on this and attempting each fix out there to no benefit, I have lastly fixed it. This is what executed for me:

1. First just right click on your display adapter in device manager
2. After that modernize driver, browse for driver
3. Let me choose from a list
4. Choose standard VGA Graphics Adapter
5. Click then next
6. Lastly reboot

This is a work around but it’s the just thing which worked for me. Just try this.
