According to the Skype information :
"Version 4.0 offers a single-pane interface, puts contacts and conversations in tabs, increases video size, and improves video and audio quality"
However in reality many users have made contact with me that they do not find the new version user friendly and in some instances their web cameras s do not work or audio is poor.
I am not sure why there are technical problems but it could be that hardware drivers for the new version are not compatible with older cameras or sound cards.
But what I do recognise that Version 4 looks and acts like a different animal and this can be quite confusing. If you have not as yet downloaded and installed it, then remember BEFORE installing to create a Restore Point so that you can easily go back to the old version
If you have installed and wish to return to a version that was stable with your hardware then click on the link below.
Under previous versions : select one and download
Note Version 3.6.0.248 was stable and worked with most cameras and sound cards..
When installing it will overwrite version on your system and keep all your contacts and settings..
If anyone is happy and have used Version 4 for some time and understand the format it would be interesting to all at WE Group if they are willing to give a demonstration.
