What about the early, early versions of Skype?
Although they donât work today since it pop ups a âPlease upgrade skype messageâ.
Like 3 and 4?
This.
Is currently and has been for a long time, dead.
That looks like a very early version of Skype that probably relied on the old server infrastructure that doesnât exist anymore Youâre most likely out of luck, then.
Yeah the guide was for 6.x.
But very early versions are long gone because nobody knows how the (now-dead) servers operated.
Skype 1.x is dead since the mid-or-late-2000s and old messenger revivals didnât existed until WLM closed down due to, youâve guessed it, Skype.
you can use skype 6 and message people using skype 6 and later
how do i use my account? microsoft account or what? cause registering does not work
i found a way to sign in to 6 and 7. but you can only do it if you can sign in to 5.5
step 1: install 6 or 7. i found a good place to find installers is http://www.skaip.org/
step 2: download 5.5 from the video linked in the post
step 3: sign in to 5.5
step 4: close 5.5 but donât click the sign out button
step 5: open the version of skype you downloaded
thanks but i got around doing something
basically logging into 7.36, closing skype, removing 2 share files from roaming and then opening 5.5
