Log out of Skype. Make sure it's not running. Close, Exit Skype.
Open File Manager, and press Ctrl+H to show hidden files.
Rename .Skype in your home directory to anything.

Launch Skype.

Report the results.

I ran software updater, there was a 20.1mb update for Skype that I updated. I rebooted and all is well now, I have Skype 4.3.0.37 now.

Thanks for the help

The most popular Linux apps should be found in the Software Center, so I am happy with this decision. The Mint project have a similar approach, Skype can be found in the software manager.

Now what about Chrome in the Ubuntu Software Center? Must be the most popular proprietary Linux app available. Though to be fair 90% of Chrome's source code is in fact, open-source.
