Full Version: video skype crashes netbook
Skype Community > English > Windows > Video

I have an acer aspire one, the 11" running the z520. It comes with vista, but I installed windows 7. As 7 requires vista drivers all of the hardware runs well. My problem is doing a video call causes the device to crash typically black screen, sometimes blue screen.
I had the same problem on the 10" dell with the same processor but it worked fine on N processor devices.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any possible fixes?
Thanks!

Hi!
I have the same problem with my Acer Aspire One 751H.
What is red in many reviews, referring to a very slow chipset which I don't thing is the answer to all these crashes.
Probably, apart from the powerless netbook, there would be a lite version of Skype or any update for less powerful machines...

same problem here. Acer aspire one with windows ultimate running. I have had a couple instances with no problem, but a majority of the time it blackscreens right after connecting video with skype then sometimes blue screens
