I don't have an answer as to why it doesn't work to hit Answer in 4.2, but remember, you can change the hotkeys for answering and hanging up calls, etc., from Options. You could make it something you can actually type on that keyboard. This of course has the advantage of working from within any application, not just from the Skype window.

My name is Siena (Pronounced Sienna but spelled with one n), I'm 23 and live in Ontario, Canada. I'm a university student, studying French and italian and hoping to become a translator/interpreter. So if any of you speak French, feel free to write to me off list in French, and i would also like to improve my Italian. My skype question is in regards to Skype 4.2 not letting me accept calls. I have an HP Mini running Windows 7, my screenreader is NVDA. Normally, to answer a call, I would go to the call menu, press enter on Answer, and then press enter on the name of the person who is calling. I don't have a Page Up key on my HP Mini, so this method seems to be the easiest way. This used to work fine on Skype 4.2, but since a couple of weeks ago, it hasn't been working. What could be causing this issue? When I try to click on Answer, it says "unavailable". I've tried this with NVDA and System Access to go. Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
