Skype 7.36.0.150 for Windows

Went live another version of Skype for Windows (by the way, the third one this month). The only thing that I was able to notice in Skype 7.36.0.150 for Windows is new design of some interface elements and pop-ups (for example, to see the new changes, open the language editor: Skype → Tools → Change Language → Edit Language File).

It is important to note that this version is intended only for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Apparently the analogue version of 7.36.0.150 for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 is version 7.36.0.101.

      It seems the latest version of Skype for Windows XP and Vista can be downloaded only if browser is running under one of these operating systems. Thus, using Windows 10 you cannot download it using specified URLs, but you can download it directly via download.skype.com/1de55ae8023424270d5c382554da5584/SkypeSetupFullXp.exe or download it from this blog.

    Hi, I had been using older version of skype because that the only version that worked on my old vista laptop. I've been trying to install the newer version but it keeps giving me the blank login page. I tried the /legacylogin thing but it won't work. Is there anything that I could do to make the newer skype work again in my laptop? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

      Hi! The parameter /legacylogin is not supported for a long time. To fix your issue, please read these articles: Blank white screen in Skype for Windows and JavaScript required to sign in to Skype.

    Hi
    My version of RtmCodecs.dll is 2001KB .... not the 592KB that is listed here.
    Any way I can get the smaller file?

    My Skype has not worked for 3 weeks now after Skype forced an update...
    People can hear my voice, but I am not able to hear anything. Not even ringing.
    If I remove RtmCodecs.dll, then at least Echo is working.... but Skype gives error message when it starts, saying "A problem was found.... Download Skype"

    Running Vista with Skype 7.36.0.150

    Thank you for your website and your efforts!!!

      Hi! Please note that the changelog reflects only what changes were made. For example, «RtmCodecs.dll [-592KB]» means that the file became less by 592KB.

      If I correctly understood, you were able to fix the error, but if you have questions, please see here or continue discussion here.

      Yes, you can still use this version on Windows XP and Windows Vista. It seems, then they removed that links due to the found vulnerability, but now you can download again the classic Skype from the official site.

    when trying to start Skype I get the following message -
    We can't sign you in

    JavaScript is required to sign in. Your browser either does not support JavaScript or it is being blocked.

    Enable JavaScript in your browser or use one which supports it.


    However on checking my Firefox browser, it confirms that Javascript is Enabled!!
    How can MS be so wrong??

      Administrator (karma: +1207),
      The problem is that Skype relies on MSIE, not on Firefox. To solve your issue, please read this: JavaScript required to sign in to Skype.

    Hi all,
    My old Skype V7.31.0.104 worked fine on my Vista until couple weeks ago, now, I need to take a few tries to call my contact before the "call tone" starts, and my contact would not hear any "call tone" (his status is online) while I was trying....going thru some research, the conclusion is that Skype no longer support Vista, and the last version that suppose to work is V7.36.0.150 that is how I ended up on this site.
    (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/skype_windesk-skype_startms-skype_signms/skype-will-not-connect/21d169c0-e8df-480b-bbcb-62184ee1dc9e)

    Upon installed your V7.36.0.150, unfortunately, same problem appear, when try the Skype echo123 to test, it disconnect with "no answer" status...
    I've tried the Skype for Web it would not work either.
    Please help, because I can't afford to buy a new computer with latest Windows version and I need to contact people far away..!

        Hi Admin,
        Thanks for the info, but please let me know whether the solution #4 will work in Vista as well, secondly, I have Asus notebook which has Realtek HD Audio card and using its own driver, would the mentioned Codec.dll interfere with other program/software?
        Anxiously awaiting for your comments.

        Once again thank you for your help.

        Hi Admin,

        I have tried the mentioned solution #2,#3, it doesn't work, same symptoms:- call to ECHO123, hear the connecting tone then silenced, the animated screen indicated connecting but after awhile it disconnect itself and reported as no answer.
        I also tried some combination of different Version with different Codec file, ie: V7.32.0.104 w/ 6.2.8.461, V7.36.0.150 w/6.0.8876.16; w/6.2.2.581; w/6.2.8.461 non of them worked.

        Any suggestion?

          Administrator (karma: +1207),
          Sorry for being late. Replacing or removing different Skype DLLs should not cause any issues, because you can easily restore them just by reinstalling Skype.

          If the solutions #2 and #3 did not solve your issue, try to install Skype 7.38.0.101. If this one did not helped you, provide the URL of the Skype access checker report.

                  I should note, even if we can fix your problem, it would be a short-term solution. The problem is that “Support for classic Skype will be ending in September 2018”.

                    Thanks for the info, would my Vista with Chrome browser V49 (latest) able to use the Skype Web ?

                    [Updated ]
                    Hi,
                    I just checked, the Skype Web will launch in Chrome V.49 but when tried to make calls, it requires a browser "Plug-in" and then.....it said the Plug-in required Windows 7 OS.

                    Sad!

    i have inadvertently added new skype to my system and i cannot get back to the old skype .
    The new new system is terrible it does not provide what i need and I cant believe that some idiot let this go out into the public domain.

    2 main issues are .

    The font size cannot be changed , you need 20.20 vision to operate it .

    I have diabetes 2 and my eyesight isnt what it used to be .

    I now have to use a magnifying glass to operate your system .

    Even this print is to small

    Thank You for making life difficult for me.

    Secondly click to call , has stopped working tried all sorts of remedies still not possible .

    Again with your small print you have maid life a nightmare as i am a telemarketer and I have to dial manualy now.

    I would assume i am not alone in this area.

    i would expect a prompt reply.

    A very angry customer.
