I have, probably only one person I talk to or chat with on Skype, but
it's installed on my Laptop and Desktop, and used to be automatically
started when I started both machines. Not anymore. The last Skype
"improvement" of my experience, now causes any graphics oriented
software to almost choke while Skype is running. Geeze, first it
required me to upgrade to a later version of Internet Explorer, (a
program I never use on my desktop), then, next time I opened DXO Optics
Pro the response of any control was so laggy I at first thought that the
program had frozen. Photoshop was noticeably slower too, even a
lightweight program like Irfanview was effected. Tried to open the Task
manager* and the tasks and programs didn't have enough video memory to
populate the lists when it finally appeared, some controls didn't
initialize.
I know I don't have the most advanced video card, or the most video
memory, but sheesh, the graphical interface on Skype is pretty
underwhelming, what the fuck, (excuse my language, but I'm a bit
frustrated here), is Skype doing with all those resources.
*Which really told me nothing, when I finally got it to work since it's
mostly silent on video usage. Had to run a video analyzer.
