Thank you for your suggestions. The version of Ubuntu is 7.10 (gutsy). I have no previous experience of using any Linux OS. I don't understand the advice re the command in the terminal. I opened a terminal window and pasted in the command you gave. I was asked for a password but no characters could be written. My keyboard seemed ineffective in that window. So I still have the problem of not being able to use Skype. I also have a dual phone I want to use with it. I had problems with these in Windows Vista also. I previously had no problem using Skype and my phone with XP or Win 2000. I would be grateful if you could give me specific instructions to sort out the installation of these applications. Many thanks. Helene.
