    Believe me, I have tried all of them. You may have to restart pc and disable firewall cause it will fail at logging in user, but after few times it will connect. Been there done that, lol

    Plain and short:

    goto Windows\System32\drivers\etc, edit file hosts, add 127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com, save and restart skype, adds gone. :crystal:

    Works with latest version (atm) of skype desktop (6.14.0.104) on windows 8.1

    My Skype crashes right after I start a video call. It just freezes and crashes.
    Then, after I restart Skype, the video call is working fine. It only crashes the first, initial time after starting the video call.

    I have tried it with several accounts and it does the same on all accounts. As long as it is the first time after rebooting. After that it works fine.
    There is a video for ~3 seconds and then it freezes. I do not believe it is the web-camera driver, because it did the same w/o even the camera driver being installed.

    I have version 6.14.0.104 (windows 8.1 ENT, Hp Probook 4530s). Two versions before it did not crash at all when initially starting a video call.

    Any fixes?
    Thank you

    nah, its not worth the money as per my usage. :)


    Update form my side, i have uninstalled it complete, including registry entries and installed version 5.5. ads were gone.
    After using the new UI, this seems little odd, but i can live with this.
    I am also planing to follow the advice @spkleader provided, and try updating to latest version , will see and update this thread :)

    Thanks all.

    "You don't pay with The Pirate Bay" - why not sample via torrent, then pay for what works best for you.
