[nfbcs] Need important help with Skype!

[Steve Jacobson]

Jim,

Windows Live recently changed from having their own messaging service to using Skype.  This could be happening because you had a 
Windows Live, Hotmail, or outlook.com address.  I wonder if there is an option somewhere that has to be disabled.  If you do have 
a LIVE.COM, HOTMAIL.COM or OUTLOOIK.COM email address, you could try using that until you figure this out.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
