thank you - was beginning to think I was being 'picked on' by skype! - be interested to see whether or not the uninstall/re-install approach works.
Useful address Chriss1 - will investigate further.
Appreciate the reply
hc thanks for the link - follwed the directions as far as enabling the file but still couldn't find <<<<shared.xml>>>>> - maybe I'll wait and see if it's fixed at source. Many thanks though
I have had a great deal of background noise and gave up after a while. I was hoping it would right itself by next time I use it. Perhaps it is something to do with them going bankrupt or getting taken over or whatever it was.
I tried Skype for a while but couldn't get on with it for the same reason as Starbo.....lots of background noise. Calls also kept cutting off. In the end I gave up. :o(
agree with piggynose - had major probs with the direction Skype sent me - followed instructions to the letter yet was unable to find the file to delete - decided to uninstall then reinstall and everything seems to be fine now.
