There appears to be an incompatibility between Synapse and Vista in that using the Skype dial icon in Synapse will cause a crash.

This is being investigated ...

It's not a Vista thing.  Happens in XP as well.  It's been like that for a while.

I'm working at half mast today, I think my ESR is higher than Grahams :( Dx: URTI vs. Flu.

I just checked on Windows 2000 .. dialing works fine.

The Skype4COM.dll has to be registered .. that should happen normally though with the Skype install.

And Skype has to specifically allow Synapse to use Skype functions.

In XP, the crashing occurs when you click on the Skype icon and it's not configured.

I don't have a XP vm instance setup ... I'll have to find a real XP PC to test it on.

I just tried on XP Pro, and the Skype icon does dial the number okay.

So, it just appears to be a vista problem so far.

I've now got Synapse to dial out to Skype again ... but this time under Vista.

But, unlike the earlier versions, you have to make sure your Skype status is set to online .. whereas before Synapse was able to set this for you.

If Synapse attempts to set the status,  we get an error under Vista.
