Skype is down locks up my tablet

[1Ando]

I have a 8" tablet running android 4.1. Whenever I turn it on now, "Skype is down" comes up and I can't do anything else. It's locking up the whole tablet.

if you have a custom rom boot into safe mode then delete Skype, or hook up the table with usb and in the file system delete Skype

It would also help to know the exact brand and model of the tablet.
