| 727372 | 2008-12-10 06:26:00 | Further to my earlier queries re Skype and my friend not able to see people to whom she is speaking - she is using Clearnet PDQ Launch - I am now wondering if the issue is actually the speed of the download/upload with what is essentially an entry level Broadband..... Has anyone else experienced any hassles with this please? TIA Bryden |

| 727375 | 2008-12-10 08:21:00 | No, Skype uses a variant of the iLBC codec, technically Skype could work over a dial-up speed connection (Mind you full-duplex would help). Even *if* she's on 256k down & 128k up, she'll still get the occasional image, albeit very slow to update and potentially horrible quality, but an image none the less :) |

| 727376 | 2008-12-11 20:23:00 | My friend has seen her daughter using Skype maybe four or five times, but recently nothing.... So if it is not the download/upload speed - any other suggestions please? The shop where she bought it is less than helpful! TIA Bryden |

It almost seems like there's something about the Laptop Video that doesn't like Skype. Have you tried uninstalling Skype - cleaning up the Registry - And then reinstalling it? If you try that you'll find a message that Skype is sorry to see you go and would you like a repair done. You could try the repair, but I had to completely uninstall it and reinstall to get it working. Don't know what was wrong in my case either. |

| 727380 | 2008-12-11 23:17:00 | Install it-then Uninstall it with Revo Uninstaller. This will fully remove all traces of the program. Then, reinstall |
