Hello, so I would try to log into my Skype account a couple of days ago and it would say I was already logged in, although I hadn't already logged in during my current session. I could see in the Task Manager that indeed Skype was running at about 75,000 K or more. I tried to end the process and got some weird message that I needed administrator privileges.
So, I tried to adjust the privileges for the program in the executable file's properties and I realize I made some mistakes doing that (although I can't be sure where). Now, I can't seem to reinstall Skype to actually get into my account, but I also can't completely uninstall it and delete the binary file because I need certain permissions.
Today, when I try to delete the binary file I get a message, "You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file". So, not as bad a message as yesterday's where it couldn't identify WHO (or what) I needed permission from. But, I am stuck nonetheless.
I also think it's odd it was saying I was already logged in when I hadn't logged in yet. But at any rate, can someone please assist with getting Skype off my PC so I can do a fresh installation? Maybe there are steps to take or a free or trial program that can do this? I am running Windows 8/64-bit. Please let me know if you require more information or screen shots.
Thanks in advance for your help.
