I’m currently using Window Eyes 8.4 on a Windows 64-bit laptop with a numeric keypad. I just installed Skype on it today. I had used Skype on my old Windows Vista laptop, and on an XP laptop before that. I could swear that I told it to sign me in when Skype starts, but no, I have to sign in every time I open the program. And the program will not close. I have to go into the Task Manager and force it to close. Even if I sign out, the program will not close, either with alt-f4 or the Close option on the System menu. Skype doesn’t appear on my Desktop, or even in my Start menu under All Programs. I have to hit the Windows key and bring up the Search and type in Skype every time I want to load it; that is, after I have to force it to close when I’m not using it. Otherwise, I have to cycle through it every time I alt-tab through my open windows. I cannot find any choice in the Options menu to sign in automatically when I start the program, or close the program when I sign out, or just to let me close the program without signing out the way you can with GW Connect. Does anyone know how to whip this thing into shape? I do have Compact View set. But that doesn’t fix the annoyances I’ve got. At least I can use it, sure, but GW Connect was so much better. I miss it already and it isn’t even officially dead yet. Thanks for any advice. Evan
