That's a very plausible explanation, however 'try rebooting' is not really a solution. I have experienced this issue ever since I got this machine.
There must either be a hardware incompatability, or some other part/configuration of Windows7 which is grabbing the overlay before Ekiga can get to it. I also CC'ed Shubhanshu as he started this thread and might not be on the list, Simon. >> Possibly this error message.... which I get on a Dell running Windows7. >> Simon > > Ok.
