Subject: RE: Skype Hi Rick, skype works fine with Window Eyes, the text instant messages don't automatically read like in MSN, and when someone first i m's you or adds you to their contact list, it steals your focus from where ever you were at the time, but at least you know about the new window that way. I have yahoo messenger i.d kb7clx msn messenger [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM screen name shawnkb7clx and skype skype name kb7clx all running happily at once with window eyes 4.5sp1 and windows xp and a dial-up connection. I wouldn't try voice chat on more than 1 at a time though, lol. Shawn --- Rick Alfaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don, > > Thanks for the info. Will Skype and Messenger > co-exist happily?
