Hi, i'm testing the beta and runs fine so i suggest an upgrade into the Skypecasts, basically in the cast's tab, that's the situation; sometimes i minimize the skype's window and never see or hear the new user into my own skypecast so i want to hear a sound when a new user arrives. I hope could be do something about it

And it still requires admin priviliges on Vista. What's up with you Skype. By the time 3.0 is released, Vista will be broadly available (and that's just in 67 days, you know). So come one and get this fixed!

What happened to the very useful cost/minute display when making a call?

Hi, i'm just trying it in these days... seems to work fine for my needs, no bugs spotted until now. Great issue the possibility to conference with 9 (NINE!) more people.

Good evening. find that skype takes way too much unnecessary memory-I downloaded recently again, and found when i uninstalled it that skype application had attached itself to my javascript . I downloaded my java again, but still cannot download or upload any pictures whatsoever, I had no idea you were in Beta-beta does weird things to windows xp--I would really appreciate some help, as I run a website www.sultryjazzdivas.ning.com wherein I am responsible for uploading fresh content. i appreciate any help immediately.

I am new to Skype and everything seems to work fine on my end however I can not see an incoming video. My dad sees me but I can not see him. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? I am using windows Vista. Thanks
