Reverence · 01-08-2009

Hello everyone

I used the 32bit before and everything was fine.

Since today I installed the x64 version and skype not working, every time I turn it on in few secs its just crushes.

Anyone familiar with the problem or the fix.

Thanks

No I dont I download the skype program from skype website.

Are there a beta version designed to work in windows 7?

If yes where I can get it.

just type ''skype BETA'' into google, you should not have trouble finding it...

Download the beta version of Skype for Windows

Thanks its working.

But skype 4 looks ugly :P

Ugly it is! Clicking the Compact View up near the minimize button helps, but it is still not as clean previous version.

Yup, that is because eBay bought them and is ruining them. Skype keeps making each beta of version 4 more and more like the old version 3.X line though, I think they are getting an ear-full from their testers.

They are - I am one of the testers and I have clamored about this since the first beta put that new screen - and I told them in *no* uncertain terms to get rid of it or a *lot* of use would stop using it.

Every time a new version comes out I send feedback - and this one with the compact view is actually pretty nice, because the conversations button and other new features actually *do* enhance the old compact view - I think they are pretty close to having this thing done....

hey guys! i'm new here.

my problem is: i've got skype 4 beta to be able to get it working on win 7 (build 7000, 64bit). the program works actually fine, but i don't hear any audio which skype produces: no skype sounds and - in particular - nobody who is calling me... skype shows that there is sound (green bar in audio settings), but i can't hear. the same happens to the person who is calling me: he cannot hear me at all.

are there drivers missing? if yes, could you send me a link?

i hope you can help me,

julson

PS: windows sounds and audio/music in general works.
