Wow! Thank you for this link. Will this work with Windows 10 as well? I'm not much a fan of the Universal app version of Skype. Don't get me wrong. It's O... Kayyyy, but, I definitely don't prefer it.

I don't have all the issue with Skype that a lot of people seem to have, in fact, I personally enjoy using it, so if I can get that Universal version uninstalled in Windows 10, and get rid of the classic version, that would be fantastic!

Rich,

Remove your current skype installation and install the skype classic

version from this link: If you do not remove the old installation, you

will get two skype versions after installation of the classic version.

I've never had it force an update on windows 7. it always asks to which I say politely no thanks.

 I'm not sure how one gets the old version.

However there does seem to have been a long history with Skype mucking it up on every update they do. I hardly ever use it these days personally, but for many years the tendency to hi jack the audio settings and not put them back afterwards seemed rather draconian to me.

Subject: [nvda] New Skype Installation a Complete Disaster!

I have used NVDA successfully with Skype for many years. Suddenly,

tonight, on my Windows 7 laptop, when I entered Skype, a new version was

forcibly installed, something like Version 8.1.2, and it presented me

with an interface that I could not comprehend with NVDA. None of the

shortcut keys that I previously used would work. I received a call from

a friend right after this forced installation and could not answer it,

because the usual alt-PageUp key combo for answering a call was useless,

as were all other previous shortcut keys. What is the solution to this

problem. I totally uninstalled Skype for now. Do we give up on Skype

as NVDA users, or install a different version or perhaps some other chat

program?
