Hi Parkdale.
I managed to get into Skype, pinned to the taskbar.
I tried registering to it but can't get by the verification page that requires a code sent to my email. I haven't got it yet lol.
I tried yesterday and today with no joy, and every time I click on the Skype icon it only brings up the verification page again.
I can't get back to start to try from scratch.
What a rigmarole.
