Loggin Issue with Skype.

Hello Everyone,

Here we come back with another issue and its solution. 

At present, communicating with someone staying far away is quite simple. All we need is a computer, webcam and an application to work on which will help us with the same.

OH YES, YOU GOT ME RIGHT

I am talking about "SKYPE".

Some times, we face lot of problems with skype. At this moment I just remember with one of them.

The issue occurs in Skype version 5.3.0.111 suddenly stopped working on Windows 7, Mac and Linux. Few are getting message “Skype has stopped working”. For me it was bit confusing because it worked few hours ago, then stopped working. But now I am again happy with it.

1. Click Start, type run and press Enter. (On Windows XP: Click Start and then Run.)
