That's okay! We can try another day
Did you download the Desktop version instead of the Windows 8 version? Windows 8 version of Skype is crap if you want to tab out but yeah, I've had no end of issues from Skype and windows 8
I'm going to download the desktop version. The Skype app won't open at all. Keeps telling me I need to update it and then it won't update! :/ Glad to know it's not just me!
