Windows XP Skype no call, no contact list – solved

Yesterday my friend ask me to help him with problem:

Windows XP Skype no call, no contact list (it was but disappeared).

I try to update skype it does not help.

I try to clean up PC it does not help.

Then I remember similar problem that was solved buy updating Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 8.

So I download IE8 installed it reboot PC and it’s “OK!” problem was solved.
