Netbook trying to run skype

[littleleo]

I was able to get an ACER Aspire One AOD257-1802 for an older relative. It was for just doing email, web-surfing and Skype. It came with a link to load Skype on the desktop, but no mater what I try it says cannot connect with the Skype Server. It is running Windows 7 Starter so I'm wondering if that could be the problem. Anyone have a way to correct this issue?

I found a newer version of the link for the download for Skype and installed it and it all works now.
