Skype
Does anybody know why Skype isn't working. It has been out of action for about a week, a real bummer when you have grandchildren in another country!
Anyway, Happy Christmas to one and all and a big thankyou to whoever sent us such a beautiful Christmas Day!

Skype
Thanks for replying Sue, but it unfortunately didn't work. Our family in Madrid tried it also and it didn't work for them either. As soon as you switch on a notice appears that Skpe is unavailable! We have tried Skyping England to no avail, it might be from my end.Maybe we'll have to contact a help line. Not me though, i'm useless!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like it's your computer Daphne. I'm no skype expert but it might be worth checking that you have a latest version of it and Flash player. Or you are not running some other internet application that might interfere it like iPortal. Think about what you may have changed since it last worked.

skype and firefox
On my computer it's no problem with skype and firefox. I have used skype a lot this week. It worked fine. As Libby mentioned reinstalling skype might be the solution.

I have just tried it with Firefox running and iPortal connected with no problems. Have you tried connecting to their sound test service?
You could check to make sure that your firewall or anti-virus isn't blocking it. Try disabling them temporarily but remember to restart them after the test.

Skype
I am up and running again thanks to our son deleting the programme and re-installing. However, it didn't work for our son in Madrid but we managed to see our grandaughter today using Skype on her i pad. Many thanks to those of you who took the time and effort to try and help.
Wishing everybody on Anglophone-Direct a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2014!
