According to most news outlets, Skype went down, or could still be down, globally. Sounds like the M$ era has begun! LOL...

Skype crashes and gives you this error message? What exactly happens when you try to run Skype?

 

[danckwerts]

same problem

I have the same problem. Skype doesn't seem to be completely down, but it is very slow. Denial of service attack, perhaps.

It doesn't open up to the login page at all

'Skype closed unexpected' message comes up

I am still using skype on my mobile, seems to be isolated to Mac users thus far

Having exactly the same problem here, just as I needed to host a conference call, not happy Let's hope someone finds a solution

Engadget has a report
http://engt.co/ixHn9B

There's a pretty widespread outage of Skype going on right this minute, judging by the explosion of tweets relating to it. It's not universal, as we've been able to log in and use the internet communicator for both text and video chat, but something's definitely gone wrong. So far, we've noticed our OS X machines are ticking along just fine, but our Windows computers are not. Importantly, we had to upgrade one of our Windows desktops to "break" Skype, which indicates it could be a fault contained in the latest version, but then again, it could have simply been just a case of terrible timing. The iPhone and Android apps look to be unaffected, but skype.com is down and out. Skype is on the case right now and will have more details for us "soon."

rubbish programming

There must have been some seriously bad programming for a fault with Skype's servers to cause the client application to crash - and on both Macs and PCs.

Remond? Is that in France?

The initial "M$" remark was a joke. No one in their right mind thinks M$ did this...

It is quite clear from Skype's own website (now it's up again) that this is a widespread issue and the corruption of the shared.xml file must have been caused by a problem with Skype's servers. Much though I'd like to pin it on MS, they haven't had time to muck things up... yet.

Your fix worked perfectly. Anyone can tell what is the shared.xml used for? Is it to maintain sessions from different devices? Just curious.
