Ottawa Canada Dear Adrian: I have two questions for you: I. What version of JAWS are you presently running? II. What version of Skype are you presently running? You may wish to check for updates by selecting that option from the help menu of Skype. This may remedy your problem although I suppose it could also make it worse! I run Skype I think it is 3.6 Beta with JAWS 8.0.2173 Unicode, which I believe is the latest version and do not have the problem you are on my laptop, an Acer 736 TL running around 600 MHz. With the above information, I may be able to better diagnose your problem or someone else on the list may also have an answer for you. Brian Brian K.
