One note that may be of use to OldVersion. Skype 2. Versions prior to 2. If you wish to use the video-calling feature, OldVersion. So why not downgrade to the version you love? Of course, it works not only on pendrives. End If. Yesterday when i log in on normal skype 7. No profile photo, zero profile information, no contacts, no recent messages, nothing. Maybe it happend because i used this script on my system drive in diffrent folder because on pendrive it works much slower. I close all skype, edit this script.
Just didn't know if at the end it must be "End If " one or two times, i write "End if" two times. It refresh my skype portable good. Then i log in two accouts and it was totally empty, after 20 minutes it's stil empty, nothing update from server. Sorry, but I have some bad news for you — you have incorrectly modified the script and it removes all. Sorry my mistake, now it' works very good. This script is amazing.
Normally when i always did it before, it was not clear history from last month and for refresh account with 40 contacts i was wait min. Now i waiting hours. When i always refresh account before i just deleted folder with my skype name and log in and skype updated everything what should update withouth modyfication and it was enough.
Maybe this occurs because script removes only. DB files. This is why instead of deleting. DB files, you should try this one: 1 Copy config. Thank you a lot, this works perfect. When On skype 6. I don't know how this portable works if two or more versions skype can use the same appdata folder name and some things change and some not change when i use both skype version.
I mean two things: a If i create folder name in appdata by skype portable 7. But if i create folder name in appdata by skype portable 6. If i would do the same by normal skype, not this portable, then skype 7. But it's good that it works that way and i see profile information only contacts who was online the last time on both skype versions if i create appdata folder by skype portable 6.
But both skype versions use the same config. Windows 10 64 bit. Since you are using Windows 10, your processor for sure supports SSE2 and there is no sense to use the 6. I've tried running through this a few times with no success. Starting from a full uninstall, I followed all the steps and watched your video, including deleting the 2 xml files at the start and making sure to not run more than one instance of skype processes at once. I also enabled compatability mode for XP pack 3.
However, Skype still crashes instantly on boot. Sometimes it even wants me to sign in on 6 after just quitting 7, autofilling the username and password fields but making me press the sign in button. I have the stay signed in option enabled. I'm running Win 8. Any ideas? Thanks for keeping this up. As I said, the 6. As you use Windows 8. Ah, I wasn't aware the. I ran through everything again with a SSE2 version of 6. However, I can't send group messages just like I couldn't using the version that doesn't involve deleting shared and config.
Is there just no way to use the group messaging servers on old skype? Thanks again for helping.

Hey, tried doing this because I was finally kicked out of Skype 6. First I backed up the original. I then ran my 6. I then used the installer linked here for 7.
I don't know why, isn't 7. I've heard the trick doesn't work with 7. I don't know if I need to use a different new version between 7. Help would really be appreciated! I now managed to sign in to 7. I was a bit worried after encountering the screen with "signing in" and "Skype is updating files. This may take some time" or something like that but after that it popped up successfully!
It's running kind of slowly at the moment but that could be something else. Thank you so much for this article, you saved me from the awful new interface! This finally happened here overnight, so I'm going to try this. Hopefully it still works.
