If you have recently updated your version of Skype™, there is an issue with the current (Beta) version of Skype™ (10 May 2013):
And you are using the Windows 7® Operating System with Service Pack 1 and all applicable security updates from Windows® Update –
Your installation of Skype™ may be causing you headaches.
Anger can be overly taxing on your sensibilities.
I had the “Automatic Updates” feature in Skype™ doing it’s job’…
I was very sorry for that, I ended up with that Windows®7 machine being practically worthless while I was on a Skype™ conference call.
The clock stopped running, other applications were “locked out” and even the good-old standby of ‘Ctrl+Alt+Del’ for Windows Task Manager offered no redemption.
The ONLY solution I was able to come across was to uninstall the Skype™ version 6.3 that was on my affected PC and re-install Skype™ version 6.0x
I found a site that I could post about (meaning you can download from it, and it is not my site) which has previous versions of software that are “out of circulation”.

is a quote from a person who had a different problem:
The windows 8 app is totally horrible, it's
unuseable. It flips to a screen and you can't use other stuff on your desktop
when you use skype. It's unreal that they thought that was a good idea.
