I do not have the problem as I do not use skype 4.1 except as a portable application.
however, what is your screenreader and how is it loaded when ou start your computer.
If skype is loaded befoer your screenraeder is, chances are that the presence of the screenreader is not detected and accessibility features not made available.
Skype 4.1 has some issues with detecting screenreader presence anyway.Try unloding both skype and yoru screenreader. (Make sure you have set up a keyboard shortcut to load yoru screenreder manually.) when both skype and screenrader are unloaded, first reload yoru screenreader with the hotkey and then fire up skype and see if skype's accessibility features are now available.
It may be a good idea to not have skype come up automatically at windows bootup but start it manually when your system is loaded and your screenreader running.
