Hi Bill, Good to hear it's now all OK.
Out of interest, when you say "I hadn't but now I have" - are we talking about deleting the "skype" keychain or running Keychain First Aid (or both). Also, was there just one "skype" keychain item - or more than one. All good info for future reference :) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
