TROUBLESHOOT Screenshot 'Cannot Start Application' If you get the "Cannot Start Application" error while installing, this is a common bug of Microsoft, so please do the following operations:

  1. In windows file explorer, in the navigation bar type:
    "%USERPROFILE%\local settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage"
    (without the double quotes), and then press enter.
    Then, select all folders you see and delete them (they are just installation temporary files that Microsoft forgot).
  2. Repeat the above operation in:
    "%USERPROFILE%\local settings\Apps\2.0\Data"

Known Limitations:

  • Only Skype for Windows is supported.
  • If the bandwidth is too low or your CPU usage is above 90%, Skype will not send HD video even with this hack.
