Hey guys, i have this weird problem i use this VOIP program called SKYPE and i have D-LINK 2.4Ghz Wireless Router Broadband DI-614+. Now I have cable internet and the wireless router is so my brother can use his laptop, I am using Windows XP, P4 3ghz 1gb ram. The problem:

Everytime I use skype the computer after lets say 40 min disconnects although network connection doesnt show this and when i press CTRL+ALT+DEL i get the following error:

Windows - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000017). Click on OK to terminate the application.

If i try to shut down i get a blue screen, if i try to restart it doesnt, if i try to log off it gives an error upon logging in again. If i do not use skype the computer runs perfectly fine and the internet stays online. I also play counterstrike with my friends online and when i play on that it works fine but if im using skype at the same time the computer disconnects in 30 min. i never had this problem before i got the router but i cannot get rid of the router as my brother needs it for his laptop. Can some one please help me because evrytime it disconnects i have to hold the power button on my computer n close it n reopen it like that which i fear might damage my hardware. Anyones help in this regard will bea huge help. Thanks in advance to you all !

Hello & Welcome to CTH :)

Alot of ppl are having problems with the LATEST VERSION of skype (Its terrible)

You can keep tabs on this thread (http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=20147&highlight=brake) where others are having same issues....

Also the whole Support (http://forum.skype.com/viewforum.php?f=2) mesage base is filled w/people having issues.......

I cant use Skype anymore since they DISABLED THE OLDER VERSIONS FROM RUNNING...Im on 98se and the NEWEST builds are WAY TO HEAVY AND HOGGING FOR 98SE http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/thedude/icon04.gif

Im trying to see if theres a way i could reverse engineer the script to make it look like the latest version when i connect,but i havent been able to figure it out yet....Obviouslty they are blocking the older versions AGENT ID from connecting....If i could figure out where that is,i may have a chance.....

Good Luck........
