Why bother with jaws or window-eyes scripts. Skype talking is far better in my opinion. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doris and Chris" <chipmunks@xxxxxxx>

No, If you are comfortable with 4.2, you should use it by all means. Its audio quality is superior and it uses less bandwidth, thus making it ideal for low-bandwidth connections such as dialup.

I find that file sending and conference calls are quite difficult to manage in skype 4.x, especially when using a screen reader that does not have full mouse emulation.

If you have not used skype in a while and if you do not do a lot of conferencing and file transferring, you are probably best served by using the current version and getting familiar with it rather than the older 3.8 that might force you to upgrade and then learn something new.

Hanging on to 3.8 is more for those of us who know it like the back of our hands and who want or need one of its few more accessible features.

I used to go with the latest and greatest with skype all the time but have not since the 4.x cycle. I do use 4.2 on occasion when talking to someone on dialup or a capped connection. skype 4.2 is quite usable even without the benefit of jaws scripts for it. 3.8 is just mor convenient and a bit more accessible.

Hi there,

What's wrong with 4.2? I was thinking of updating, having not used Skype for a while. Is there a reason why I should stick with 3.8?

Thanks!  <Hugs>

People have had problems with skype 3.8 spontaneously
updating itself to the current 4.2 version despite auto updates being
disabled  in skype 3.8's options.

I found that installing the business version of skype 3.8
and disabling the autoupdates in skype's options has
prevented these unsolicited updates from recurring.

someone needed the installer for skype 3.8 for Business
and I put it on Filesend for them. I hthought maybe someone else might
benefit from this.
Please find the download link below this message. I
packaged the actual installer inside a 7-zip archive. winrar or 7-zip
will extract 7-zip archives.
