What does "Misc error" mean and how do I fix it?

After several Skype video crashes and at least one shutdown-start cycles, I was able to connect with my friend in a video conference. After that my attemps to call end with "Misc error" in black video window.

What is the name of the Skype preferences file?
Where is the contact information stored?
