I just downloaded skype for the first time from their website. I draw the program to my apps folder like I've done a million times. I open skype, the icon bounces on the dock a few times then disappears. I tried restarting and I tried redownload/reinstall. No error message or anything. What's going on?

Thanks

By some chance, have you just installed a system software update and haven't restarted yet? That's the only situation I know of that regularly causes this symptom.

Barring that, check the system and console log files to see if they contain any clues.

I spotlighted skype and no log files are popping up. And I have restarted so that shouldn't be the problem.
