Download Skype for Windows 5.3 build 116

Skype has released another update for version 5.3 of its VoIP client for Windows. With Skype it is possible to communicate with other Skype users by means of text, speech or image, or a combination thereof, via an internet connection. Since version 5.0 it is possible to set up a video conference call with a maximum of ten people, but there is a Premium Subscription required. Furthermore, the Facebook News Feed is integrated into the program and there is Skype Home, a place where you can indicate your mood, change your profile and find new contacts. This release should address the startup issue that plagued Skype earlier this week.

Changes in Skype for Windows 5.3 build 116:

• Skype crashed on startup for users who were affected by Skype issue on 26.05.2011
