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. By the way, it seems to me that this is the main reason why there is no sense to keep supporting these versions.
As I wrote, the main purpose of this article is to help users make video calls on old processors. For chatting, they can easily switch to the newer version. 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.
But I'm curious, why 6. I can understand why 7. Please note that 6. As you noticed, I am using 6. But of course, instead of it you can use any old versions.
Not sure if I understood you correctly, but 7. Right, I was just mainly curious about why 7. Plus, it probably makes sense to use a version closest in age to 6. That's a lot. Fortunately, it can be compacted again with the handy standalone tool SpeedyFox. It works well regarding that I can log in again now Im using 6.
Also not sure if its relevant but i did not see any mention of this in the guide but after i logged in on the supported 7 version, then closed that fully and opened my 6. I am not sure if that is normal.
I posted above a screencast: how-to-run-older-versions-of-skype-for-windows. As you can see using version 6. I do not tested version 6. However please note that old versions do not support group chats. I am planning to publish tomorrow a script for creating a portable copy of any Skype version.
Among other things, this will allow you to run old versions. So stay tuned. Just a heads up: At least here, MS has reduced the forced-logout interval to about every 24 hours. And this happens without warning, so any unsent chat text is lost. This does mean, however, that the "offline message" feature is gone. That is, if you send a message to someone and then go offline yourself, the person won't receive the message until you go online again -- like the way it was several years ago.
Not good. I think the party is pretty much over. Not sure, about other versions, but my test account on 6. The issue some of us are seeing means, as another person also pointed out, that your status will not necessarily be correct as seen by other people, and also that there's no offline messaging the "spinning circles" are a hint of that.
Messages ARE delivered once both parties are on at the same time, the way things used to be for everyone using Skype more than about 3 or 4 years ago.
If the above hasn't hit you yet, is it possibly because you're not using the old version for long periods of time but rather just occasionally for testing? Just a guess, for all I know you use it 24x7. Therefore, when I am saying it I am referring to the main purpose of article — to make video calls using old version. Besides this, I can send and receive messages on 1-on-1 chats. I am running simultaneously at least two Skype accounts and one of them is 6.
I know that the announcement blog post last month mentioned "cloud architecture" as one of the reasons for deprecating clients earlier than 7. It wasn't until last week that MS changed something on the server side to put the bullet in later 6. I've been using 6. It was all there. Until they took it away I'm guessing, arbitrarily, though possibly for a good reason that they just haven't revealed yet last week.
Offline messaging, for me, was the most important Skype feature of the last half decade. So it is better to uninstall the new version. Go to search engines.
