When I open Skype 5.5 on Windows 7, it tries to connect but crashes and says Skype is not available

Skype seems to connect for a split second and then disconnects, said that Skype is not available.  Troubleshooting, says incompatible program, try 4.2.  Unable to access older Skype, how can I make Skype 5.5 work?

The latest versions of Skype are compatible with Windows 7.  The following may help solve the problem: http://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA10382/Why-does-Skype-crash-on-my-computer
If this does not resolve the issue, a number of people in Support of Skype forum reported that the installation of the beta version will fix the problem: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows/SKYPE-STOPPED-WORKING-FIX/td-p/282010
