What if you don't want centralised contacts?
I want one contact list for home and one for work.

Chris - having separate contact lists for same Skype Name is not supported. What some people do in this case is have separate Skype Names for home and for work.

Yes, I thought of that but I have some overlap between work and home contacts and it's major hassle to have to give people two skype names to call me on depending on where I am.
The old system was better as I could have two sets of contacts or some blocked contacts at Home.

This is bad news for all Windows 2000 and Skype video users who are still limited/forced to use Skype version 2.0.0.43.

I Upgraded to the latest version and my computer went into a semi coma. It basicalyy brought all my programs to a sloooow crawl. It was so bad I had to uninstall it and now cannot re-install.

How can I download another version taht will work as noramallly as the one I had and was very happy with for the last year so?

I like to know why i cannot find my central contact list. I use A rather new computer, which uses windows vista.

See my question about why i cannot find my central contact list. Muhammed Hassan.
