I think you should just uninstall and reinstall Skype

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

Hid the updates and now using Skype 4.2 again...I thought I would throw this out there

been using skype 4.2 for a lil over a couple of years now
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.
