I am able to log into 6. I am unsure which but it either is having issues sending messages to offline users and those not reading messages OR it is just having trouble displaying properly that messages sent. Thank you for an interesting idea! Strictly followed your instructions, but unfortunately, skype 7 just wouldn't start. It logs in but it after a few seconds after it appears online and loads contacts status it kicks me off again saying "sorry please log in again".

Coincidently or not I at the same time had modified a setting in my skype preferences to not display user pictures in contacts, restoring config. Im not sure if skype totally cut it server end now or if it is just on my computer only from some issue on my computer. Can anyone confirm this? It may or may not be time sensitive so it might not have hit some others yet. Before this happened the morning before at AM or so it kicked me off with the same message but i was able to log back in again back then.

I suspect it just may be possible to log in using an old version possibly may need to be freshly installed if other newer versions were installed over it so all the parts are full compatible with themselves and have full functionality of some old versions if you while skype is closed use a program to modify the Skype. I do not know what program would be safe to use to do this as in not a virus or spyware and I do not know if it would work or if skype would suspect youre using an unoficial skype version and lock down your account or something but this is just paranoia on my part.

I also do not know if you have to do the same to the dll files to modify their version number. Im also not sure if you also have to modify the MD5 number as well somehow. I have no idea how they check your version. A quick search and I did find some programs that claim to or seem like they might be able to modify version numbers of exe's and dll's. I dont know programming or anything so I can only guess how to do this and i have no luck finding any skype users who did this.

I dont know if it's open source or not or fully free or not or if it's safe or not so approach with caution. I'm not sure if there is a rule on this blog about posting links to software but I hope that wont be an issue since i provide warning of my lack of experience with such programs.

This is just two I found although there is more but the second seems like it would be easier to use possibly as it has less features seemingly. If anyone knows a good free open source program better than these do tell. I hope it works and i hope if anyone tries this it wont cause any problems for them. Id hate for my suggestion to lead to any damage out of my own ignorance.

Not sure about other features, but I am still able to log in to 6. I think you should start all over again.
