No SKYPE Tool Bar

When I sign in to SKYPE, there is NO TOOL BAR for me to select from!  I have been invited to chat rooms and to become Contacts but that was done via emails. When I sig in to SKYPE, I have no options except to upgrade.  Please advise.

Re: No SKYPE Tool Bar

What device are you using for making your calls? Windows PC? Mac? Linux?Mobile? What do you see on your screen when you start Skype?

Re: No SKYPE Tool Bar

I am totally frustrated with Skype.  I get a great click and call tool bar at home, but when I sign in to my Skype account from any other computer including my office computer where I am all day, there is no tool bar, no contact list, no dial pad so no way to call my contacts during the daytime hours when I need to call.  All I get is options to buy credit, handle my account, look at history etc.  I WANT TO MAKE A CALL. I JUST NEED A DIAL PAD.  I have clicked on every possible link without success.  And your lack of telephone help sucks.  About to drop my subscription.

[ Edited ]

Is there anyone in Tech support to help with this ongoing and apparently COMMON issue? I have done the complete de-install, re-install. I have used %appdata% to delete all references to skype 9(ncluding regedit). Come on, is this a viable product for our business or not? I see "power users" respond with various fixes. HEY SKYPE!!! HOW ABOUT SOME REAL HELP HERE?????? How about a tool to run diags on the problem ? i will install it on my XP PC and run it for you. There has got to be some reason this is happening across the board. HELP

Re: No SKYPE Tool Bar

XIED THIS: FIXED THE PROBLEM!!! DO this:
1. Use the start-"run" and type in %appdata%
A directory list appears. Go to your sesr name folder and find "CONFIG.XML"
Open it with Notepad.
Find <UI> element (about 3/4 of the way down page)
press enter to add line under <UI> and paste this:
<ChromeEnabled>-1</ChromeEnabled> right after <UI>.
Save the file and restart Skype. FIXED
