Skype 7.7 crashes on Windows 10 using VirtualBox 5.0

Post by crankycyclops »

Hi guys,

When I launch Skype 7.7 on a Windows 10 guest using VirtualBox 5.0, Skype crashes a moment after it launches. I went back and forth on this for a while, and discovered that if I turn off 3D acceleration, Skype will run. So it looks like this is something caused by VirtualBox. I understand that Windows 10 support is still new and not complete. Just wanted to bring this to your attention and to see if anyone has any recommendations. I'd like to use 3D acceleration if possible, though it's not an absolute requirement.

VirtualBox 5.0 is very nice, by the way. I'm impressed.

Thanks!
