[Chandratej]

Hi friends! I hope to get help here after wearing an entire morning on this difficulty. Difficulty explanation: When I always use to run Skype, it starts just fine for after some minutes or so, and then it shuts down, with no way to avoid it. Whenever Skype is started Skype version: 5.3.0.111 on my Windows 7 Professional Operating system version 64 bit with all latest updates and service. I had tried everything like uninstalling and installing it back again and clearing the registry, but no effective results for me, does any one else also facing the same problem after update process Skype or anybody know about the solution of this error? Hope for a replies from your side.

As after update Skype with the latest version 5.3.0.11, so run the Skype first then go to tools option> then Advanced settings and de select the option given over the “stay in the taskbar when login into Skype” and after that most probably crash and along with that you don’t even have to minimize the Skype to the taskbar, when you close the program direct with the close option given on the taskbar, it will minimize be active for you even .

Don’t worry if till yet, you hadn’t find any fixture for this difficulty, as almost all the Skype users who had update there Skype with the latest update, facing the same difficulty and as my knowledge, official people are developing an another update for this error fixing, if you want to use the Skype then remove the file from your Skype folder C:\Users\"your name"\AppData\Roaming, its not that tough to find out and will easily get delete and fix this error, as it worked for me than surely will work for you. Post with a reply whether it works for you or not.
