Не работает Skype

Сегодня у большинства возникли проблемы с запуском Skype.

Skype engineers are working on the problem, the company said. But the fix may take “a few hours,” and advanced features like video calling might not be available until after that.
So what went wrong? The company says the problem has to do with its “supernodes” — a crucial part of its peer-to-peer networking system. Almost any computer in the network can be a Skype supernode, and these act like directories for the service, telling Skype things like who is online. Skype says a problem with some versions of Skype took a bunch of supernodes down, meaning that people weren’t able to log on as normal

Способ решения:

Под Windows 7 заставить работать можно удалив файл shared.xml из папки C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Skype

Или, если XP, то отсюда: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Skype
