Problem running Skype on OSX 10.3.9 (icon only bounces)

mullentech · #1 June 23rd, 2009, 01:06 PM

Hi all! I recently downloaded skype to use on my eMac running OSX 10.3.9. However, I cannot get the program to open. The little icon on the dock just bounces once when I click it and nothing happens. If I click again it will bounce again, but will never open. What do I have to do to get it to work? I have skype on my other two PCs and it works fine so I know there is no problem with firewalls or anything. Even if there was, the program should still open it just wouldn't be able to make calls. I'm a MAC noob so I know nothing about it and this whole experience has been very frustrating so far! Can anybody help me?

It's the latest skype 2.7.0.330

Please tell us what specs your mac has. Hopefully this or more?
