Re: unable to download skype

This kind of error message is, as rule, related to Skype not being able to access your User folder. This might be due to wrong settings in Windows registry or network setup. Go to Windows Start and in Search/Run box type %appdata%, press Enter or OK button. In the list of folders that will pop-up, can you see there a folder with the name Skype?

What version of Windows are you on (Vista, XP, Windows7)? What directory is shown when you do this %appdata% command?
