How to fix the issue of incoming messages on Skype?
Hamid
Hello list,
The subject line says it all. I did a google search and tried a few tricks/solutions that were suggested to no avail. I have all the notifications switched on in the skype settings but still, I can not hear incoming messages when people message me. I can't hear other sounds either, like the notifications of people coming online, going offline and etc Any help will be appreciated Hamid

Hi barbuz
If I press jaws key plus t on the most recent active contact in my list, it reads there name and mood meesage if there is one.
However, what may be considered a glitch is this. If I open another chat in the list, and that person isn’t currently showing as active, jaws key plus t will read their name but the mood message of the most recent contact.

Re: calling sequence
Stephen Troy
Hi steve
Useful tips from Mr Lee’s website.
A fast way to start a new conversation:
In regards question 2. There are several options. You can locate joe in your contacts and tab to his profile and find his mobile number in there. Having found joe in your list of chats press the applications key and arrow down to profile. If you have called his mobile at any time, if you arrow down your list of chats, his number will appear there and you simply follow the above steps for making a video or audio call.
Below are two links; the first is to doug’s website and the second to Microsoft’s “what are hot keys and how do I use them in skype” page.

Sorry I have to do this to all of you but the rules have changed. This will make for even cleaner archives which can be searched. I will make this sticky so everyone joining and reading the website can make note of the new rules and regulations. You can thank a list mod on a list I'm a part of for the idea. I just added my own twist shall we say. Hello and welcome to the Skype English list. Here our goal is to have fun discussing various things related to skype and the screen

Thank you very much Michelle. Now it's all set. this one is
better in terms of the accessibility. Thank you Doug for the Scripts. Your work is much appreciated. One other thing; in both Skypes I still didn't manage to make the
ariving messages play a sound even though I turned all the

have been basically replaced since I scripted UWP. That said though, your compile error is not caused by the scripts being old. I'm betting you have a file called uia.jsh in your JAWS user folder. Removing that file is likely to let you install the scripts, and is a good idea anyway because that file, which is an outdated copy of a file that comes with JAWS, can cause compilation problems for other scripts as well.
