    Topic, okey so this is weird as hell.
    I can search for skype in my start bar and i'll find this ->

    New skype - Can't find the app nor make shortcut yet i can run it. [​IMG]


    However i can't click on it at all, both right click and left click.
    So i went to Skype's homepage and you'll find this ->

    New skype - Can't find the app nor make shortcut yet i can run it. [​IMG]

    Download Skype for Desktop Computer | Skype

    At this point, Chrome asks me to open skype and i'll press yes and it open the new skype for me and i got to log on.
    At this point i managed to use my third party application "everything" to find the Skype.ink which i then could add to the windowsbar, but i have no idea how to get the shortcut to the desktop nor can i find the application folder (or well i could find some folder with some skypeapp.exe however i couldn't touch it at all due to restrictions and smartscan warned about it as well before it denied me)

    Do anyone have an response to this?
    Is it supposed to be a replacement for the old Skype application as skype's homepage calls it "classic version of Skype "


    Thanks in advance



    :)

    App in start menu

    I installed a new app, and it showed in start menu, but since when I deleted the shortcut on my desktop I can't make it show anymore in start menu: the app is in the alphabetical list if I open the start menu, the shortcut is in the start menu folders (both
    common and account), I rebuild the index, but if I open start menu and type the app's name it doesn't find it. I also tried to put again the shortcut on desktop, but nothing happened.

    Also, I deleted one app, there is no shortcut to it in start menu folders, but if I type its name it still find it (but can't open it, naturally).

    How can I fix these issues?

    Skype for N8

    I have been trying in vain to log on using the free skype app downloaded to my N8. It takes forever for the system to log on. I did manage to setup a new skype name and even accept new contacts but have not been able to receive nor make any calls so far.
    All this was done via wifi connection, but there seems to be a hitch with making calls out/in. Can you share your experience?

    Hi there and welcome to the forum.

    Perhaps some part of it got removed for some reason. You could try uninstalling it and download it from the Store again.
