My brother has a new laptop that came with 8.0 and his Skype worked okay until he put on 8.1, then Skype crapped out. So, returning to 8.0 his Skype still will not accept my notification. He says that his "PC gurus" at the store wants him to wait until 8.2 comes out It takes all I can do to not laugh out loud at him, but my advice goes without heed. Is there some way to explain to him what's up?
