Sorry, could not connect to Skype "Check your Internet connection and try again"

today's topic
"Sorry, could not connect to Skype"
If you look at a list of changes recently released Skype 7.15.0.102 for Windows,
you can notice that this version was added to the text of a new error that should
occur if the computer is not connected to the Internet. In such cases, the following error:
"Unfortunately, we could not connect to Skype.
Check your Internet connection and try again. "
However, some users have experienced this error, even when the computer is connected
to the Internet and other programs run without problems. Typically, an error occurs
after you upgrade to Skype version 7.16.0.101 (please note that this version is obsolete).
Before you begin to resolve the error, make sure that you have the latest versions of the
following programs:
Internet Explorer
on Windows XP is IE8 - yadi.sk/d/byv1x8dVmGnDW
for newer 7.8.10 - IE11 - windows.microsoft.com/ru-ru/in...
************* stage 1 ******************
so, let's go
if you now is Skype, delete it!
preferably after removal, clean the system files from the old Skype.
I do this with a single utility to clean TuneUP
Skype was removed. We clean the system go on!
- download Portable TuneUp Utilities - yadi.sk/d/xWZlVfKQmcjAq
*********************** Stage 2 ****************
1 - check the connection to the server skype
Skype access to check and make sure that there are no communication errors

If ticks are everywhere as I have? it means everything is OK!
2 - install the necessary updates internet explorer, if you have a windows xp download this update -
Windows 7.8.10 If the download is from the official website - windows.microsoft.com/ru-ru/in...
3 - download the latest version of Skype from the official website and install it.
Skype (download it here) www.skype.com/ru/download-skyp...
-If The error persists, check the Firewall,he may be blocking port 80.
To do this you need to either disable Firewall, as I do, or make Skype on firewall exceptions list.
note
if you do not know how to disable or to list exceptions freewall
start task manager - file - new task (Run ...) write "msconfig"
run window system configuration - press Services has - looking at the bottom of "security center" and shoot him tick, and then resets.
Security Center is turned off, but in exchange, set the anti-virus!
in video look 1:42 briefly shown how to do it!
********************* final stage **********************
Just install:
1 - adobe flash player.
2 - microsoft NET Framework.
3 - Microsoft visual C ++.
- If even then you have Skype is not earned,
Is the last hope for 100% duty skype.
you can download it via the link - yadi.sk/d/LLyN2TA5m8yPJ
skype in the archive, for this it will unpack the archive you need WINRAR.
If you have not installed on the laptop archiver win rar, here's a link to the free download.
winrar-x64(for 64 bit systems)yadi.sk/d/02kXlrM-mDbRw
a portable version of Skype works in all conditions on all windows

Just spent an hour on live chat with Skype about this issue. What finally worked, and my suggestion? Change the program file name to Skype.old, then click the desktop icon again. That was enough to fix it for me.

[@solidc0ld746]

+lozateazer can u be more specific?

[@strikemaster1]

Think he means goto the Skype's program folder and find the Skype.exe file and rename it to... Skype.old. This should then FORCE windows to look for another exe file which hopefully is the latest version. Just guessing though. I cant stand people who post in help forums and expect everyone else to be at their IT superior level. Are they just showing off... or are they just plain stupid.

[@NOXTRAPMIX]

very specific, all elementary simple

[@solidc0ld746]

why must we go through all of that when it's a connection issue? & ie = old. not everyone uses it, especially those that still use xp. there has to be a simpler solution only configuring settings

[@AlamasterMinecraft]

The video on my channel might be a help to you

[@NOXTRAPMIX]

+SOLID C0LD there is a simple solution, install IE8 update for windows xp

[@solidc0ld746]

NOX TRAP_MIX i don't use ie, but i found an alternate. if one has 2 hard drives, 1 with an old version of skype, u can run it from there or copy the icon to the desktop & run it, but it can't be updated. the hd with the new skype should be uninstalled. i'll consider that ie update if needed though. thanks

[@freshfishbd4091]
