Another hint: when I use the taskbar to switch to another program, the loop stops hanging, and I can get to D7 again. But if I click on the Skype component on the form, it starts hanging again! This can repeat any number of times - click on the Skype component and hang - use another program for at least fifteen seconds, and it frees up again.
Any idea how to fix this would be welcome! -Rich http://www.EnglishLogicKernel.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Kennedy Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 7:52 PM To: Borland's Delphi Discussion List Subject: Re: Skype4COM Rich Cooper wrote: > I've tried to use Skype4COM with D7 and Vista.

Does placing the Delphi wrapper component on the form afford any advantages over simply instantiating the COM object directly in code? What "install COM" function are you trying to use? What is Delphi doing in that endless loop? -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
