Skype automatically exits on nLited XP SP3 - preset attached

[fdlchris]

Hey guys,

Can someone help? I have an nLited version of XP SP3 in which I have installed Skype on. Skype installs, loads, signs in, and as soon as it signs in, it disappears off the screen and exits. No warning, no error, nothing. I can't get it to run. Here is my nLite preset. I know 'IP Conferencing' being removed could be a problem or THE problem but is there anything else in the list I have removed that is causing Skype to automatically close?:

Target = Windows XP Professional SP3 - 5.1.2600.5512 - English (United States)

Problem solved. Problem related to running Windows XP SP3 in Oracle VirtualBox.

It is a problem with VirtualBox when trying to run Skype inside the virtual machine.

SOLUTION: Change Compatiblity Mode of Skype.exe to Windows 2000. Skype no longer crashes.

Thank you for reporting the solution and I'm glad things are fine now.
