Hey Grant


Ok, a few questions for you here.

1. What version of skype did you experience the problem with? I mean, did things go ok, and then one day, all of a sudden, without you doing anything this started happening? or did you upgrade to the newest skype and that's when this started happening? If you upgraded, perhaps downgrading your Skype to an earlier version like 1.4 may solve it? If it's not that though, we still have other avenues we can explore.

2. Since you think it might be JAWS related, what version of JAWS are you using when this happens? If you have multiple versions on your system, like 6.2 and 7.0 for example, does the same thing happen under both versions?

3. What operating system are you using? If you're new to Skype, it's not recommended for those using Windows 98 or any other OS before xp.
It may work on some systems, but the Skype knowledgebass says that Skype uses a lot more CPU usage under Windows 98 which matches up with what you've got going. It suggests to me that a lot more CPU usage is going on while a skype call is hapening, but when they hang up things are fine.
If it's not the operating system, then I'm not sure what could be going on with it.
So if you could let us know what's up with that we may be able to solve this for you.

hi Grant,

I do not really know what's has happen to your system, but maybe is due to
the setting. I even have a p4-1.30 GHZ computer with 384mb of ram, I can use
it during making a skype call and burn CD in the same time. Sometime I also
can make a multi party conference call up to 4 people. So, I'm sorry that I
can't give you any solution at this moment. Have a nice day...

Allan Wong
