SKYPE and Internet troubles are resolved! Thankfully, my Internet and Skype problems have been resolved. For anyone that is also having SKYPE trouble, I found messages on the community board at SKYPE.com that a person had success using an older version 4.2.0.152 http://www.oldversion.com/windows/skype/ Scroll down to version 4.2.0.152 I hope this helps you ! The newest version on Skype did not work on my Windows XP.
