Skype (7.36.0.150) on Windows XP machines is officially DEAD, and will not. You will always receive a Skype message stating '. Cannot connect.' The official statement from Microsoft/Skype is: 'Skype support for Windows XP and Vista users has ended. You will need to update your OS to Windows 7 or higher to continue using Skype on the same device.'
An alternative possibility to use Skype on WinXP is to use the IE browser & URL https:login.live.com using your Skype log-in details/password. Have not yet tested this on a WinXP machine, but the URL runs OK on a Win7 machine. I have a problem with the new skype for web which I have thanks to yourselves. Had to look for something new as I still use windows XP (SP3) 32 bit and microsoft (god bless them) have decided that I should not be able to use skype 7 any more. I am signing on using my old skype ident and password. This new skype works perfectly well in audio only BUT for video whenever some one tries to call me on video and I press the video icon (top right of the new skype screen and without colour) they are cut off. The same happens when I call them.
I have just been through your software requirements and I think I meet them all although I am unsure about the Windows Installer 4.5 although google says I MUST have it or I would not be able to load any applications. I am using the latest possible Chrome browser for Windows XP (which is the one you specify). What am I doing wrong please?Updated 1 may 2019 at 17:30In fact I discovered that my computer had only level 3 of the Windows Installer. I have since downloaded level 4.5. Could THAT have been the problem?Updated 12 may 2019 at 20:59Well nobody commented on my last note but things have changed a bit.I just was able to have a hour long conversation with my brother in New Zealand (I am in Spain) but could not get the video to work at all no matter what buttons I pressed, I could get a whole live screen of myself (!) and if I pressed another button a very small circle with my own picture (still) but no way could I see HIS live picture or he mine. Can SOMEONE please tell me what I am doing wrong.
