Problems with Skype in Yosemite (freezes when starting up)

[lifeform]

Hi,

I have huge problems with Skype freezing almost everytime I start it new.

I´ve deleted it many times, and reinstalling actually makes it open up as normal, but then I don´t want to reinstall this app all the time

Any ideas? Advices to fix this?

Macbook Pro 15" Early 2013.

I think the latest update, has messed a lot of stuff up. I thought I could delete it & re install an older version.
However it looks like Skype have somehow diverted all the older versions , to the latest update.
If you find a different site to Skype,s own , and try to download an earlier version from there, once done , it does not work, just stays fixed on " Connecting "

My mac air is from 2014 came with Yosemite now updated to El Capitan.
Skype has worked flawlessly right up to this latest update !

Anyone with a solution, please let us know what you did !
Thanks.
