Thanks for the advice. I'm also going to uninstall GW Connect. Hopefully more and more people will do it.

Seems like every time the GW guys go on extended vacation or even over a long weekend, something goes a bit wonky. I'm not sure if that's the case here but I've since uninstalled GW connect and have gone back to the official Skype program. GW included a Skype app in 8.4.0 so hopefully that should make things as easy to use as GW connect is. I just couldn't stand the adds, sorry y'all. I mean I'm already a window-eyes user, lol!
