I don't have my mic plugged yet, but you can always try!

If you can't seem to add me, you can always advance search for:
Simon T. Erkelens
Enschede
Netherlands
Dutch

That should work after a couple of times!

Well, I got it because my nephew (7yr old) got caught trying to get close to the build bench by his Mom. Who didn't know what to call the rig in peices, so she called it an "othbox". So now every time the boy is here, he asks if I have a new "othbox"? :talker:

Posted ImageYes, i have had some crashes in Vista RC2 x86 and the skype beta; it had to do with video i think. I would connect for a bit, then skype would go offline. No so much crash, just disconnect (weird huh). And no, i didn't lose my net connection.

I just reinstalled XP x86 and my mic isn't working properly. Once my upload is done, i will retstart with the latest and greatest realtek drivers. I have never had skype crash while just chatting, and i think i have never had it crash in audio as well.

Again, a big thanks out to x64bit and all its members for everything that they have helped me with and all the great chats we have. I urge everyone here to get on the skype bandwagon...cause everyone is doing it, and don't cha want two bee kul too yo?!

Well mine I found crashed after being away from the pc a few days and not having used it, guess it had an issue with the lack of attention, such a needy pc.
