This forum has experts that will give you help.
But you need to give more details.
You are using Windows 7 - Ia that right?
You have been using Skype before this?
Is this  a new laptop computer?

i'm using a dell desktop.  all  the shortcuts on mu taskbar disappeared.  i can only use skype for texting but when i try to access the internet i get the proxy sever refused the connection.  the browser doesn't work.   AT&T couldn't fix it and referred me to a specialist to charge me to fix it for  $15 a month.  i dunno maybe a nondestructive reinstsall

Did you check or remove proxy settings by Internet Options?
