Microsoft and Skype mods were pretty useless and kept regurgitating the same procedure that was proven not to work on hundreds of other Skype users having the same issue with XP.

The only sure way this will work is if you follow this method: 1. Uninstall you current version Skype 2. Install the latest version of Skype for XP which is 7.
