I had recently updated my laptop, but now Skype won't work at all. The Log-In window won't come up anymore no matter how many times I click on the Skype button in my dock OR Internet > Skype. I don't know the name of the update and I've already tried uninstalling and then re-installing at least five times minimum but no luck on it working.
Would someone please be kind enough to help me out and solve this problem?
My last resort is to re-install Ubuntu (my custom iso) that I have that backed up all my programs and settings (I don't back up personal files/documents. I exclude those).

For those who use Remastersys:
When backing up the system, back up your personal data on an external drive of some sort, whether it's a hard drive or a flash drive, just back it up onto something external or a server. Then go into the Remastersys program via System > Administration > Remastersys
Then go to Modify and go to Exclude and exclude the following:
/home/USERNAME/
/home/USERNAME/Documents/
/home/USERNAME/Music/
/home/USERNAME/Videos/
/home/USERNAME/Downloads/
/home/USERNAME/Example/
/home/USERNAME/Public/
and anything else within your /home/USERNAME/ directory
Everything within my /home/USERNAME/ directory is a little over 8 gigs, which is why the ISO file was too large. If you do as I advised (back up personal data onto external device or on a server or shared folder) and exclude the above folders, the ISO file will be 1 or 2 GB, depending on how many programs you have on your system at the time of the backup.
My backup is 1 GB exactly, that's just with programs and personal settings for the programs.
