Help needed; Sky disappearing
Aug. 5th, 2008 04:39 pmI know that I have techy people on my f-list and at least a couple of you use Skype so hopefully someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
Skype keeps disappearing on me. I'd call it a crash, except there is no error message or warning. The program loads up, logs in and five seconds later it disappears completely from the screen, the icon tray and even Task Manager. It doesn't stay up long enough for me to make any changes to anything to see whether that helps or even start a call. It just...goes away.
I've been Googling and searching through the Skype forums but I can't find any solutions. The only references to the problem that I've seen had notes to say that nobody had been able to fix it, even by un-installing and re-installing.
The problem has only been there since Skype updated to version 3.8 (the latest) so I was hoping that it was a bug with the version, but nothing.
Can anyone help me? I was planning to use Skype a lot to keep in touch with people after my move but I can't do that if the thing is going to be this buggy! All ideas and suggestions would be gratefully received before I tear my hair out.
