Today, I tried to update Skype on wife's Vista laptop. She cannot call this XP machine, but I can call her from XP. But calling on XP to XP doesn't work at all.Īnd I have a friend using Windows 10. Those other operating systems work with XP.
(Either I have to call him on his Vista (SP1) computer, or he can call me on my Windows 7 computer. So my brother also has an XP machine, and we cannot call each other at all when we are both using using our XP computers with Skype, but we can sent text messages. I can call a Windows 7 computer, and I can receive calls from a Windows 7 computer on this XP machine. I can send the XP machine text messages, and can receive text messages on my XP machine using Skype. What exactly is the problem? I cannot phone or receive calls from another XP machine running the exact same version of software. (Same two options to either "download Skype" or "cancel.") So, no solutions here. Solution #3 - "Warning - A problem was found with the version installed. Only two options: "download Skype" or "Cancel." Solution #2 - "Warning - A problem was found with the version. Solution #1 - already set to accept calls "from anyone." (No solution here for me.) Have been long time user of Skype, but now it doesn't work correctly. I am running XP (SP3), and have IE 8, and version 7.36.0.150. Whoever has a problem with the calls, he must follow the instructions below. For this, both users should call other contacts (preferably common friends in order to exclude wrong conclusions) and ask them to call back. If everything indicates that the problem needs to be fixed, you first should determine which side the error occurs on. That is, network status should be green in color both for you and for your interlocutor. Make sure that you and your interlocutor are online. To download the latest versions, visit the following pages: This is very important in order to eliminate incompatibility problems between old and new versions. You both should use the latest versions of Skype.
The fact is that the same notification appears if he clicks on the “Hang Up” button. You must be sure that the user who receives the call does not discard deliberately.
Worked well for me with the chrome download provided and with the web.lnk dow…
