Thank you very much. I'm glad that I was able to help.

However, regarding TheUberOverLord, he is one of the best users and his contributions are remarkable. Even if he wasn't yet able to solve the issue, he should be thanked for his trials.

Try Below:

You may need to reset your Internet Explorer Settings.

Here is a Mr. FixIT:

How to reset Internet Explorer settings

Run This.

You may also need to reinstall or repair your Internet Explorer.

Here is another Mr. FixIT

How to reinstall or repair Internet Explorer in Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP

Click the Run Now button.

Restart Your Computer.

Then, you may need to register vbscript.dll and jscript.dll

Windows 32 bit

1. Run cmd.exe with administrator privileges (Start > type ‘cmd’ then

right click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator, then click

Continue when prompted by the elevation consent dialogue box). This

will open a command prompt in c:\windows\system32

2.Type “regsvr32 vbscript.dll” (Without The Quotes) press Enter

You should now get a message that says: “DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.”

3.Type “regsvr32 jscript.dll” (Without The Quotes) press Enter

You should now get a message that says: “DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded.”

Restart Your Computer.

Windows 64 bit

1.Run cmd.exe with administrator privileges (Start > type ‘cmd’ then

right click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator, then click

Continue when prompted by the elevation consent dialogue box). This

will open a command prompt in c:\windows\system32

2.Type cd..SysWOW64

3. Type “regsvr32 vbscript.dll” (Without The Quotes) press Enter

You should now get a message that says: “DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.”

4. Type “regsvr32 jscript.dll” (Without The Quotes) press Enter

You should now get a message that says: “DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded.”

Restart Your Computer.

Note: If you have Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) installed, then also do this:

Type: “regsvr32 jscript9.dll” (Without The Quotes) press Enter

You should now get a message that says: “DllRegisterServer in jscript9.dll succeeded.”

Restart Your Computer.

Now try running Skype.

Hi Saber,
Thank you for your support to fix the error 2738 with Skype.
After follow your instructions, I could log into my account, but the right side of the screen (tab: Skype Home) does not work. I can only see a semi-circle spinning. However, I can make calls. Earlier in that part of the screen had information. Is there any way to recover the tab: Skype Home. 
By the way, I got the error 2738 with other applications, like Microsoft Fix it.
Thanks again in advance.
Gustavo.

 I guess that you will have issues adding contacts as well, as it is the same issue. The issue is with your Internet Explorer settings. You might be using another browser, but Skype inherits Internet Explorer settings.
