Why are my Skype messages out of order?

Cristián Torres-Gluck Balmaceda asks:

Hello, my Skype is not working properly. I am running the latest version on Windows 7 Home Premium. Basically the Skype messages are out of order, and they display the wrong time. I don’t know how to fix this problem, and I require some assistance in doing so.

Sync Your Windows Clock With Internet Time Server. try to reinstall and if does not help then try older Skype Version.

I also have Skype for Android. From what I can tell, this problem occurs on that too, if that helps.

Time Zone in Android

try menu Skype >> Profile >> Edit Your Profile. There is an option there to adjust time

This is something that seems to affect many Skype users right now and especially with the latest version installed. If you have the latest Skype 6.0 version, then you may try to revert to the previous 5.10.0.116 version.

You need to set up time on your skype profile: Start Skype, log in, click on your name – that will open Skype Home window, clic on Profile tab, skroll down and setup time in your skype profile.

Try setting up the Skype time to your time by going to your Profile. If that doesn’t help, re-install Skype. You could check this forum also: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Problem-with-skype-messages-are-being-received-out-of-order/td-p/1287102

maybe your computer time is incorrect?

The computer’s time is correct.
