update
Hello again everyone,
Steve's suggestion of installing skype version 6.21 worked like a charm. I
installed it from the link he provided, and that seemed to bring mp3 skype
recorder back to life. I don't know what happened with version 6.22, but
whatever it is, it causes the program to not work for some of us, but it
appears to work for others. Hmmm, strange. Thanks for your help Steve.

Hello Forum,
I agree that we each own our own blindness however,
As a business person myself I don't wright off percentages of my client base
just because they are smaller than other segments especially when what I need
to do to accommodate their needs is to do nothing! LOL
What I mean by that is upgrades in software should be treated like upgrades of
hardware, the consumer decides if they are happy where they are and can choose
to do nothing.
Now I am also aware of the practical side of not being able to support software
that's more than 8 or 10 years old, but what Skype just did to us could have
been done slower and for sure far better.
I have always believed in full disclosure by telling my clients what's good and
what's going to change for them if they accept or decline a proposal.
But I just think MS and other companies could handle upgrades better not from
what they develop or do but by offering the public the choice to do nothing!
And choosing to do nothing in my office is still free of charge, because it
costs me nothing to grant them their wish! LOL
I guess I'll just have to keep dreaming.
Thanks for all your valuable input,
Respectfully,
Mike

I'm probably going to rattle a few cages here, but I think we as blind people
should stop thinking that big companies like Microsoft should always consider
us when upgrading their products.
The fact is that we are a small portion of their market, and while I am
against discrimination of any kind, I also believe that we as blind users
should develop our own workarounds when things do not work like we were used to
or seem inaccessible. I remember many years ago when a friend of mine (who is
also blind) started teaching me to use a computer. During the very first
"lesson", he said to me: "It's a sighted world out there my friend." Perhaps
all of us would do well to remember that.

Hi Denise,
First may I say I'm new to the group so if I'm sending this message the wrong
way please forgive me.
But I do agree with you.
I was very happily using Jaws 14 and It was working just fine with all my
other programs until last week when Skype upgraded and I couldn't get it to
work for me.
I was told to upgrade to Jaws 16 which I did do and now my older reliable
software that I have used for years isn't working right either.
This is interfering with my ability to get my paying work done.
How do I get an older version of Skype back on my machine?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks,
Mike

you know what folks. I really think someone needs to start a petition going
around for all of us to sign onto and give Microsoft bad publicity for
pulling the rug out from under applications that make skype more accessible
for people who are blind. They are a large enough company that they could
continue to support two versions. It wouldn't hurt them financially at all.
I'm getting really sick of this. First it was GW Connect and now skype
taking and we all have to be careful not to ungrade or we have to go through
the whole process of uninstalling and reinstalling a previous version. Why
should we have to jump through such hoops all the time. And if not for
Doug it would be even worse.

It still works but not with the newest version of skype.
Not sure what will hapen in the future.
I need it for work and other things I am doing so I reverted back to an
earlier version of skype.
I could also use a sound editor but I don't want to use it for everything
when recording.
