Anyone got Skype going properly?

[CJSnet]

Hi, I am trying to run Skype for Pocket PC on the Universal with Windows Mobile 2005. I get the following issues:

1) On booting sometimes I get an error message: 'Cannot connect to service ... \Storage Card\...Skype'

2) When trying to dial a number directly from the 'Call with Skype' menu option in Cotnacts, I get a window pop up with, "The file 'Skype' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found..."

3) How can I make private calls through the earpiece instead of the loudspeakers which everyone can hear?

4) Is it possible to use my Bluetooth headset to make Skype calls and if so how?

5) If I try to open Skype, nothing happens, unless I close all other progs in memory first! (Shouldn't WM2005 do this for me?)

Once all these are overcome, I *can* make calls, but it's a heck of an effort!

1). I get a similar one saying "Cannot execute \Storage Card\...\Skype.exe but that's because I uninstalled it. I just need a fix for that.

2). Not a clue I'm affraid.

3). Mine always goes through the earpiece, do you use your Exec in laptop mode or XDA mode? I hope you know what I mean by that.

4). Not as far as I know.

5). Something similiar happens to me, except it just takes time. Sometimes it's instant, sometimes it takes a bit of time.

Thanks!

2) I find this doesn't happen if Skype is running, so I guess it's designed to be running all the time ... only it does :? (see #5)

3) It was in Xda mode, like a palmtop.

5) I am also finding Skype will just quit while I'm dialling a number in the Skype keypad. Not very reassuring. Again I assume it's memory.

Is it installed on your memory card or Exec?

Did anyone find a solution to the "Cannot Execute Skype..." error message?

I installed, then uninstalled Skype, but now I get an error message every time I wake the XDA up, which states:

'Cannot execute/Program Files/Skype for Pocket PC/ Skype.exe'

I've checked the startup folders and there's no sign of anything Skype related. If someone could tell how to get rid of this, I'd be eternally grateful!

Did you try the latest version that was released yesterday? They say they acknowledged and resolved this particular error.

Use memmaid to delete it from the notify list

Sometimes skype does not start on mine.
But then I stop all running process and it works.
It looks like it's not able to allocate enough memory, but no error message is shown.

Thanks all!

I installed the latest version of Skype and memaid. The error message has gone. :D
