Is your skype on a one way ticket to cactus city?

[Lord Sidious]

Mine keeps coming up saying Disk I/O error.
Is that what you guys got?

Have a look at Johns little part of the forum above you.
See the skype symbol?
That is what you see, it is checking to see who is online and who isn't to update that on the page.

My Skype crashed about the time Sid started this thread. I did't think anything of it until I read this thread. I re-started Skype. It seemed ok, at first but about a minute later, it crashed again. BTW, my Skype did an auto-magic self update yesterday. Very curious coincidence. Google is showing many reports of this problem.

On a different note, I was warned by a friend several months ago that Skype is about as secure as a wet paper bag and is being used by TPTW for spying. But is it Skype or is it that ALL calls are monitored? I don't let it concern me because I'm sure they have more important things to do than spy on me.

Any form of electronic communication is monitored.

OK, sorry it was oovoo that we had trouble with yesterday. It needed a reboot but finally worked.

Today our skype is actually working. I left it for a while (5-10minutes) to repost and it does seem to be working.

Does everyone use oovoo too?

It's just the same as skype only more mac-friendly. Just google for it - it's also free.

Bump for an answer.

Skype's what to do with a I/O error:

... but you probably already did this.
Likely this has to do with the updates and/or the solar flares Sid.

Every form of conversation is assumably monitored to me, you must have fun with them every once in a while. Keep them on their toes.

Ulli... sad that conglomerations still thrive on avarice.... no?

My skype is lagging tonight, thats a first.
