Skype Exectuable is corrupt

Hi,

 

Ive had a look through the forums and tried most of the suggestions and my skype still does not work. Im running Windows 7 64-bit with nvidia optimus (already tried running skype using intergrated and dedicated) and tried reinstalling 4 times using both full versions, old versions etc.

 

The error just says that the file is corrupt and should be re-installed.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Also be aware that in the case of nVidia driver, it may even be necessary to revert to the older 280.26 driver.

Re: Skype Exectuable is corrupt

i found out how to do it. you have to first disable your nvidia software. go to control panel, then click device manager. under display you'll probably see 2 graphic cards. double click nvidia then click disable
