Skype won't work, please help!

[qt51mel]

I have Windows 7 and recently did an update. Now skype, my gadgets, yahoomail, facebook all won't work. Even my clock will not retain the right time. I have read many forums on what to do, have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted temp files, restarted my computer, etc. At first I was getting C:\ProgramData\Skype\Apps\login when I tried to login. After many attempts to resolve the issue, now I am just getting a blank blue skype page with no where to log in. Any suggestions please? Thank you!

The fastest method currently, to resolve this is to install over,what you have, using the beta release here: http://skype.com/go/getskype-beta

In your case and your case only.

1. Please stop any and all running Skype Client programs on your system.

2. Using your Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs uninstall Skype, when prompted to save your history, choose yes.

3. Using Windows File Explorer ("What you use to view files with") do:

%appdata%\skype

If you find a file called shared.xml right click on it and choose delete.

4. If you see a folder for the Skype name in question, click on it, if you see a file called Config.xml right click on it and choose delete.

5. Using the Windows file Explorer enter:

NOTE: If This is a 64 bit system, please look in the program files (x86) folder

%programfiles%

Right click on the Skype folder and choose delete.

6. Please install the normal version using the instructions below:

You can install the current normal release by doing this from the top of this page:

Get Skype -> Windows -> Choose the normal release.

Do you have all Windows updates and updates to any hardware devices by the manufacturers?
