Hi Catherine, This is actually a bug in Skype. VO doesn't read the contents of that combo box. I only discovered this myself about 10 days ago when, for the first time in many years, I had to log out of Skype and sign in with a different account. Your doing nothing at all wrong.
My advice is type in the username carefully, then simply use VO-right (I can't remember where Tab takes you) till you come to the password field. Hope this helps, Dónal On 9 Apr 2013, at 09:41, Catherine Turner <catherineturner2...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I installed Skype and am having some problems getting started.
