A few more things need to be changed in Skype 4 to make it accessible,
copied from what was gleaned from this list a few days ago:
If you change the view to
Compact mode in the View menu, switch Skype to Classic, and then
Simplified
graphics in accessibility, there is no learning curve at all
To change to compact view in Skype 4:
Press alt v, arrow to compact view and press enter.
Now to change to simple graphics:
Press alt t to open the tools menu, arrow to accessibility submenu and
press
right arrow to open it, arrow to simple graphics and press enter.
Skype scripts for Jaws from:

Make sure you get the scripts for Skype 4.
Hope this helps a little. Happy skyping!

Hi jim,
The option you need is the first options in the options dialog. It says
something like 'When I double click a contact, start a call, start a chat
session, etc'

Hi,
I've installed the latest skype , and I have some skype contacts in the
contact list. However, when the contact is on line and I press the centre
key to call them, all I get is an edit box. If I go through actions menu
and call using the menu it works ok. Can anyone help me to configure
skype to start a call using the entre key? Also when they call me I can't
use the alt and page-up key to answer the call, I have to go through the
menu's once again, hope someone can assist.
I'm using vista with jaws 9.
Also is their any jaws scripts for skype?
Thanks for any assistance.
Jim.
