Topic: usb phones...

[sam]

I wondered if any of you have come across anything about usb phones on vista, in particular ones that use the skywin application for skype? I know skype isnt supported (offically for vista) but it works fine (with a mic, not the phone!).. just not the drivers for the phones... any link would be appreciated, I haven't found much of use on google searches (yet). Obviously its not for my system (my parents) as I dont have any confidence in vista (or the inclination to ditch xp, when I use microsoft that is)

Not come across that Sam, if I find anything out I will let you know.

that would be good...thanks! I've given up on the topic for now (vista was annoying me anyway!).. currently I am having fun with beryl on ubuntu.. who needs Aero anyway!

Can you not install the drivers in XP compatability mode Sam 

Not sure if you can get that option like you can with programs though.

[sam]

no it appears that you can't.... I think quite a few people are having these problems but I think the majority of users might be getting confused by the fact that skype (sopposidely) doenst work properly. I'm gonna have another play later today, I'll let you know if I get anywhere.
