yeah justin, I actually just got rid of skype for similar problems. Shit was great for about a year, then just a few months ago the software got all buggy with their latest version (it would bring my PC to the BSOD everytime I left it running, besides other wierd problems).

try finding an older version and it’ll probably clear it up :tup:

Thanks man,

Actually I put a new version of skypemate usb phone driver on there, it seems to be working ok now.

I think skype is pretty kickass. I got skypeout when it was 14 bucks for the year, and skype in for 30 bucks or whatever a year.

For 50-60 bucks a year, unlimited calls its a great deal.

I use it for the business also, we do sales calls on it.

The only gripe I have with it is the lack of caller ID support. When I call someone it comes up as blocked or worse 01234567. Thats mega unprofessional. But until skype comes up with a way to insure no fraud will happen, they won’t offer callerid.
