If you are studying this material, it means that your computer could not load the Skype database . But you should not be upset for several reasons. Firstly, because you are not the first to encounter this, and secondly, I will tell you how to fix this problem.
If you can’t download the Skype database, it means that a fairly common error has occurred. And the simplest, but not always working solution, is to simply restart the program. Try to do this first. If after this procedure you were unable to download the Skype database (Windows 7 or XP are considered in this case), then let's look at the reasons for this problem.
As a rule, there are only two of them. In the first case, the database can really be used at the moment. The second option is that it can simply be damaged, so the program cannot use it. Thus, you will see a system message stating that the Skype database could not be loaded.
In the first case, the problem is resolved by logging out of your account and re-logging in. If this does not help you, and your computer tells you that the Skype database could not be downloaded, make sure that the program is not running on your machine. To do this, open your task manager, in which go to the process tab, and look for Skype.
If he will be there, it is necessary to stop this action. Please note that if several such processes of the same name are started, absolutely everyone should stop working. Only then sign in to your account. In case this did not help, everything indicates that the base is really damaged.
With a damaged base, you need to do other actions. Close your Skype with the right button of the manipulator through the tray. Next, you need to "drive" the disk on which the OS is installed, for errors. This is done through the "Properties" tab of this disk, where the "Service" - "Error Checking" section is selected. Do not forget to check the box to automatically correct found errors. As soon as the verification is completed, we try to launch Skype again.
In case of failure, download the program and find the Skype profile directory. When you enter it, look for a file called main.iscorrupt. Move it somewhere outside of this directory and re-enter Skype. Now you will need to find the profile folder of this program in which there is an error. To do this, through the "Start" you need to run the% APPDATA% Skype command and press Enter. Find the desired folder, move it or delete it completely. After that, go to Skype under your name.
After performing these simple operations, you will restore the software. I hope my recommendations have helped you solve your problems yourself. Since such questions arise periodically, try to remember these instructions so that you can use them at the right time. Also tell the solution to your friends and acquaintances. I think that all users have ever encountered or may encounter such a nuisance in the future. Thank you for being with me all this time. Uptime on your Skype.
