while still on skype 3.8 for my installed version of skype, I wanted
to try out the portable version of skype 5.5 with its facebook integration.
I found that when trying to shut down skype 5.5 from the system tray,
it locked up speech (jaws) and some parts of windows apparently
necessitating a reboot to get back to normal.
I then created a batch file to shut down skype with the /shutdown
parameter. This worked in that it brought up the console briefly and
I heard the sound for a program being shut down but when I looked, I
still saw an icon for skype in the system tray with its state showing
as not logged in. When I tried to close this out, I had the lockup
syndrome again with speech shutting down on me. I finally killed the
skype process in task manager with sighted assistence and this
brought jaws back.
Can anyone confirm this difficulty shutting down skype 5.5 - and
potentially earlier 5.x versions as I had not tried skype 5.x in a
long while - or is this something particular to my machine?
I am using win xp sp3.
Thanks much
Doris
