I finally got to reset my password by a series of actions I've already forgotten. I put in my Skype name and got a code sent to my old email address. I'm so stressed out that I put it in with two numbers swapped. When I got that right it told me I couldn't use a password I'd used before. So it knew.
With great tension I tried to sign into skype. Same. Skype can't connect. It's not saying word is wrong, just that it can't connect. WTF does that mean?
Now I suppose even my pc won't work.
This is no small matter to me. Everything, banking support, house contracts, a dozen or so very serious series of phone conversations are all reliant on Classic Skype.
Both computers worked perfectly. I'd get the laptop out occasionally to let it back up and let it run Skype - the only issue that's ever been is keeping Classic. That I achieved.
Talking to the hospital, which I'm doing all too regularly has all the contacts, perhaps 6, which I've gleaned over the last years. They go right to the specialist's secretaries etc., priceless information.
I got to trust Skype because of the years I've been using it. Never dreamed I'd be pushed into a sea of sales crap for MS. That's all I'm getting.
