I think you should just uninstall and reinstall Skype :P

I did uninstall it
And I am doing a fresh re install for a sound card problem,so I am backing some new music up
Then I am going to re-install it

Skype 4.2 mind you,then hide that dang 5.1 update

do not like the newer versions

guess this shows it is being updated by Windows
thanks

You can hide the update. I am still using Skype 4.2.0.187.

How do I get that version? I just installed and then uninstalled ver 6.1. It has very little in the way of options and I can't add contacts unless they are in F***Book, diddit, or some social crappola.
