When I click on a Skype or SkypeOut link, my computer starts Microsoft Netmeeting. How can I fix this?
You have not installed Skype or Skype is not configured to handle callto: links. To fix this either install Skype or configure Skype to handle callto: links. You can do this on the Skype options page, tools -> options -> advanced and enable "Associate Skype with callto: links".
When I click on a Skype or SkypeOut link, I get asked if I want to launch the application. What should I answer?
You should answer "yes" here. In case Microsoft Netmeeting starts, see the question above to fix this.
How many contacts can I add to my phonebook?
Currently there is a maximum of 200 contacts. If you need to add more records, please contact us by email.
Why can't I set my group filter for business or personal contacts on the options page?
Options are set on a per account base, so they are the same on every computer you log in. The group filter is set by means of "cookies", this means that the filter is set different for every PC you log into. This is useful if you want your personal contacts listed on your home computer and your business contacts on your work computer.
