I just want to know if anyone else is having this problem, and if so, how to fix it. I use an HP laptop that runs Windows 8 and I use the desktop version of Skype. I have not installed Windows' 8.1 update.

The other day, I was using skype to IM as per normal, and suddenly it became excruciatingly slow. I opened up task manager to see what was the issue, and Skype was using up 100% of my physical drive's memory, to quote task manager.

I've tried shutting down and turning the computer back on, I've tried erasing all my conversation history, I've tried uninstalling Skype completely and re-installing an earlier version (In case the updates made something worse.) Nothing has worked so far and Skype is pretty integral to some of the things I do. Is there any solution for that?
