Using Skype with Windows 7 64 bit

Question

Sign in to vote

I don't know if this is a question for Microsoft or Skype. I have just bought a new Dell Desktop PC Inspiron 560MT with Intel Core 2 Quad-Core Q8300 processor and with Windows 7 64-bit pre-installed along with Skype Version 4.1.0.179. On my previous PC running XP, I used Skype Version 3.8.0.180 and I loved that version of Skype. I hate the new user interface in Skype version 4.1.0.179.

Is it possible to run Skype version 3.8.0.180 in Windows 7? If so, do I need to do anything special when installing it?

It seems Skype version 3.8.0.180 is not compatible with Windows 7. According to the users feedback in Skype forum, version 3.6 works in Windows 7 properly. You can have a try. J

For more information, refer to this forum: Skype version 3.8.0.180
