It will work for quite some time. Nonetheless, it won't work sooner or later... and considering how Microsoft is behaving these days, it might stop working sooner than expected. Time will tell.

i430VX Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 getting this on my laptop and main PC after the sign on screen today. it signs me back out when I click quit, and, of course, the update doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 That's exactly what happened to me! When the update fails, there should be a link on the failure notice to update it manually. This will take you to the download page on the Skype site. If you do the download and save the file, it should be "SkypeSetupFullXp.exe" and is version 7.36.0.150. Run it and let it update, and Skype should work again, at least it did for me! I would save the file somewhere in case you need it again, but as has been said, I'm afraid that all Skype 7 versions will stop working soon.

Mathwiz Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Yeah but 7.38 is the one that nags you to "update" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I was using 7.38 as well, but as 7.36 appears to be working I've left it at that. I do suspect that running the 7.38 installer again would also have fixed things, but it would be good to have that confirmed! I'm not sure whether the nag was due to the version being used and the fact that it's not the most recent version (which is Skype 8 of course), or whether it just hadn't been updated for a while. This would seem to be bourne out by the fact that the system seemed to be happy with a version which was older than the one previously installed!
