unchecking upgrade in tools/options/advanced of skype 1.3 or 2.0.0.81
does not prevent immediately after login- a popup window offering
upgrade ,and if you cancel/refuse it ,skype closes!! I cant believe it
is set up so that you can work only with the newest version??!!!Is
there some cfg or registry intervention to keep working in older skype?

By all means upgrade to 3.8.0.188
(http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-accessibility) but never upgrade to
version 4 or later because it looks bad, covers half your screen &
functionality is no better. Even the Clissic look makes the messenger huge &
they have moved all the features... They try to change 'Program Files\Skype'
folder to their own icon & always add SendTo icon on application startup if
you went ahead & deleted it. Although, if you make the SendTo folder write
deny for SYSTEM it stops it but you get errors on installation as they try
to create that SendTo icon & it fails for obvious reasons

If you want to go direct to Skype Support then e-mail them here:

Just hope you don't get Indre replying as she is absolutely useless &
doesn't have a clue
