October 16, 201312 yr Ahhhhh its good to do that my friend and NO i dont blame Andrew either Edited October 16, 201312 yr by Dude111
October 17, 201312 yr Author Well anyway...from the info here, I suspected that the 98/2000-only FlashWindowEx function was something that could be hex edited around. "FlashWindowEx" appears nowhere in the Skype 0.90 executable, though.So...I give up.
October 17, 201312 yr You might try using RLoew's DLLHOOK program to redirect the FlashWindowEx call to another function...
October 17, 201312 yr Why do you use version 0.90 ?This is my windows 95.But it can't connect to server as I said.Skype 2.6 shows "failed to load function!"Well anyway...from the info here, I suspected that the 98/2000-only FlashWindowEx function was something that could be hex edited around.

October 19, 201312 yr Author Why do you use version 0.90 ?This is my windows 95.Nowadays the Skype 1.4 installer throws out the error in my first post and refuses to install, just like all the other 1.x versions.I'm surprised you were able to run it on your configuration (at some point in time, anyway!). Maybe the APIs changed between 0.9 and 1.4?
October 19, 201312 yr On My environment Skype 1.4 installation has without problem.Skype95.cabAnd I think you don't need to install skype for use Skype.You should copy skype.exe into right folder only.
October 19, 201312 yr Author I tried your link, but the executable threw an error that OLEACC.DLL was not found. That library was apparently distributed with the Microsoft Active Accessibility 1.3 add-on for Win95, which MS no longer has available to download. Oh, what fun!

October 20, 201312 yr You should have that file Andy! (I just checked and I have it (Version 4.2.2209.0 (In system directory)))If you want I can place it somewhere for you to obtain EDIT:I forgot your on Win95.. I dunno if my version would work for ya or not.... (I hope the above works!!) Edited October 20, 201312 yr by Dude111
