Comment: Skype Problem.
Going into Tools, Advanced, I tick the Startup Box, for Skype to start when I start Windows. Click save.
Returning later to Tools, I find that the 'Tick' has gone from the Startup Box.
I have to manually click on Skype to get it to work every time I boot up.
In Tools, Call, automatically answer any calls. Not convinced that this happens.
Appreciate some way to get Skype to start on bootup. Don't know if I have some type of Firewall or something else kicking in to stop it.Running XP Prowith the latest Skype version 3.

Reply: (edit)Isn't there some type of setting in skype options to make it work on boot-up? Many times just uninstalling and re-installing a program will reset it and you will have the option to let it run on start-up Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Reply: (edit)Tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
Tools option, to startup on bootup remains the same, Tick the box, it then becomes unticked.
A nuisance.
