I have used Skype in the past to call my wife when she is out of the country on travel. No real issues there and never a reboot needed. Is this user "hanging up" properly? Which icon? Taskbar or something within the Skype application itself? He could just exit out of Skype, be sure to close the taskbar icon, and re-load it. This is with free version, no experience with other versions. Tom Miller Engineer, Information Technology Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board 757-788-0528

One of my users is using it to make international calls (our International Sales Manager) and he says that every time he makes a call in Skype the first one works fine, but he has to reboot the computer after the first one in order to make another call as the icon for Skype changes. I have not witnessed this for myself, only going by his reports. I'm *assuming* from what he said that it's not just a case of the icon changing, but rather Skype not working. He said it just started it this week, and it happens whether he's at home or at the office (remote office) so it doesn't appear to be related to the corporate firewall nor to the internet connection. At the office we have a 5 Mbit/sec Metro-E circuit and I don't know what he has for internet at home, other than some type of DSL connection. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
