Here's the official word from the Skype knowledge base:
Can I use Skype with Windows 98 or Windows ME?
Because it hasn't been fully tested, we have not yet certified Skype for
use with these operating systems. Skype may work with Windows 98 (Win98)or
ME but
we cannot yet guarantee compatibility. Some WinME/9x video (and possibly
others) drivers tend to use 100% of processor for their needs for
relatively long
periods of time. This can cause the audio quality to degrade
significantly. In addition, WinME/9x does not offer full unicode support,
which means that
some things may not display properly. Skype does not work on WinNT at the
moment. We may support these platforms in the future and will make any
future
announcements on our website.

Hi list. Is there still a version of Skkype that will work with Win 98
SE?
I use Win 98 SE and a dial-up modem, and JFW 4.51, and my PC is 333 MHz
and
64 megs of RAM. I see the current version needs 128 megs of ram, and Win
2000 or XP; I'm interested in it but don't want to go buy a new PC just so
I
can use the current version of Skype. Any info on a version that works
with
Win 98 SE and 64 megs of RAM, and works with JFW 4.51, would be
appreciated;
thanks.
Sincerely, Peter Russillo
