Hey all! Recently I had built a new PC and was trying to download Skype. However, when I had downloaded the installer, and got everything going up to where you enter your login details, Skype crashes and displays the message: "Skype has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.". I've tried deleting my Skype folder in Roaming, deleting the DbTempFolder in the Skype folder and more. I'm honestly stumped :/. All answers and help is appreciated :).
 
After uninstalling try installing a older version of Skype you can find on google. This may work better for your system
