I get that white box with black border with text "Skype" in it, too. This is probably because Skyep4COM is not a visible ActiveX so it doesn't know how to draw itself and Delphi just uses default drawing code to draw the box. (Only my guess.)
But I'm not getting the loop, although the box sometimes disappears, so it's still usable. You may want to try a SkypeControl VCL. You should be able to find it in skype public api forum. I used it in another project of mine and it works fine. Jack > component palette. But when I drop it on a form, it shows a white square > with the text "Skype" in it, and nothing else.
