Why won't Skype let me open an account?
 

OS agnostic question

I want to set up a Skype account. I get to the sign in page and fill in the indicated required field for setting up a Skype account, click on the I accept button at the bottom, and all the account creation page does is scroll back up to the top, with no indication as to what information is missing.

I am not filling in mobile telephone numbers, since skype will be used on one computer, nor an I filling in personal information.

What's wrong?

What browser are you using? Maybe it's a browser related issue.

Typical solutions are:

1. Disable adblock and try again.
2. If you use /etc/hosts to get rid of some advertising websites (by assigning 127.0.0.1 to them), disable it and try again.
3. Try different browser.
4. Contact support.

contacted support. Using IE9 on Win7 while upgrading linux computer hardware.

Skype wants somthing, and it won't tell me what.

(Shrug...) Who can say? Contact them again.

try going to library or friend and make a skype account there
