I am not happy, anyway, with Skype anymore since it has been taken over by MS. It used to be such a nice piece of software before! Setting possibilities are reduced near to nothing, and what I hate most is the forced update after which from time to time I am asked to login with my password! I'm afraid also that the chat history has disappeared or at least seems to be very limited.
All in all it isn't anymore what it was before:-( [/quote]

Since quite some time I notice that when Skype is open, it does not allow any other programme to open (maximize). I have first to close (minimize) Skype.
Any ideas on how I can I get rid of this extremely irritating behaviour?
Many thanks in advance!
