So have I actually. Partly it's because I don't even have a microphone for
my computer anymore and so I tend to use the Skype app for my IPhone most of
the time.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Subject: Re: GWConnect runs in sponsored mode
I'm seeing this too. 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!

Hi everyone,
I am a registered Window-Eyes user and, suddenly last night, I got an ad
telling me to upgrade to Window-Eyes, as though I wasn't a Window-Eyes
user. When I opened the About box on the Help menu, I appear to be
running in Sponsored mode. I know others on the list have experienced
something like this, and I was wondering how they fixed it, if they did.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit, have checked my Windows firewall with
advanced security incoming rules, and have allowed access to gwconnect.exe
and gwskypekit.exe on all networks and all protocols. I am not running
anything except Microsoft Security Essentials and the built-in Windows 7
firewall.
I can't think of anything else which might be interfering with the
program, especially since this is a new experience with the program after
years of using it.
Thanks,
Rod
