I downloaded Skype off of Skype.com and the installation seemed to go smoothly enough but every time I log in I get Disk I/O error message and it wont allow me to log in.
Hello guys, I'm back. go to http://www.oldapps.com/skype.php?old_skype=79 and download the older version of skype, download File Name: Skype 4.0.0.215 .
this should solve your problem. I did it and it worked. take care guys . you can send your thank you's to [email protected] . Bernard morris,
You need to delete the folder that holds your account information for Skype.
I can be found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<winuser>\Application Data\Skype\<skypename> for XP or,
C:\Users\<winuser>\AppData\Roaming\Skype\<skypename> for Vista
I just deleted any user account folder I saw, reopened, logged in...worked fine.
Hey,
there may be a problem with your hard drive. I suggest you reinstall skype and try again, then try it on another computer.
if it works fine on another computer but not on the one you are at.
I would suggest you get it looked at.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Ekse

Same problem. Seems to be a problem with V4 of Skype. Now I nee to find 3.8 and degrade!
my 3.8 version of skype worked fine. but i decided to upgrade to version 4 and overwrite on the old version. (bad idea) now version 4 wont work at all. (i dont use vista) so i uninstalled it. reinstalled older version and they wont work anymore. i've checked my firewall and allowed skype to work or whatever, though i wouldnt really need to change any settings since the previous skupe worked. what to do???
I can't log into skype. I keep getting Disk I/0 error message.
Disk I/O error message with Skype 4.0.0.226.
