skype work in win98??

[soldier1st]

yes

[dencorso]

OK, I have read around that Skype works OK with Win 98 SE up to versions 1.xx.
I do know many of these are available through oldversion.
Now my question is, from those available, which version should I install, or, in other words, which is the last version of Skype known to work OK with Win 98 SE? Please advise.

Thanks Analada and North of Watford for your swift replies in the posts below. You rock!

Hi, funny i was going to post about Skype yesterday but thought no one would be interested...

ANYWAY, I've used this version with win98SE and it worked fine (1.4.0.84). It's just over 7MB.

I haven't been a fan of Skype, so only recently installed it for a specific need. Looking on the Skype site they do put a rather low number, but then reading the small print, that is the last one that they will guarantee to work. After that, they <b>should</b> work, but at your risk. I am using 3.2.0.175 on a Win98SE system without problem so far. Just remember that video is not available (unless someone here has written the necessary drivers that MS left out)

Hi, I guess it worked ok for you? I tried it. It installed well but speech kept breaking up. so went back to the old one (posted version above), and it worked fine.

Hi, Analada! I installed 1.4.0.84 and it is working perfectly. Thanks a lot, once more!

And thanks to all others that posted in this thread, too! You all rock!

Hi,
I've used versions of Skype from 2.0 up to current 3.5 in Windows 98SE.
Aside from video that is unstable, the only problems I had was when I used it on 56k dial-up.
Since I moved to DSL, I've had no issues unless I load up a large app at the same time as using Skype.
In this case, Windows 98SE's not-so-good multi-tasking makes the sound choppy for a moment.
