Hi Steve and DorisI didn't have the latest version of the scripts installed when I ran Skype for the first time, which is why perhaps the alert didn't speak when I tried with the various JAWS cursors. Anyway, they are in now and I'm up and running. I'm picking it up as I go along (smile). I'm still liable to cut myself off halfway through a conversation with someone as I did last night, or take an age to answer the call when somebody rings, but, what the hell? It's a bit of fun!

Hi Doris,But the scripts access the Com object of Skype directly, which does cause itto bring up that alert.

Use your jaws or invisible cursor to find the information as to whichprogram is trying to connect to skype. alternatively you can virtualize thewindow with insert+control+w and copy its contents to the clipboard to paste into a mesage to the list. Programs that would connect to the skype api and make skype ask for permission are, for exampel, SKREad, answering machine programs for skype such as SAM and Pamela, etc. hth Doris At 02:52 PM 1/30/2008 +0000, you wrote:Hi Jackie, I believe this is the JAWS Skype scripts.

It is telling me that another program wants to use Skype, and do I want to allow this, allow it but ask later, or not allow it. My feeling is to go with the latter because JAWS isn't telling me what the other program is, and says there could be a security threat if I allow it. But I don't want to disable something else that might need to use it, if you see what I mean. Any suggestions please? Many many thanks to everyone for their help. I wanted to do this on my own so closed my eyes, held my breath and did (smiles). I'm not a great installer of programs if all is working, but I've been curious to try out Skype and felt the only way to ever know what it's like is to get on with it.
