We found some PC USB port is extended from motherboard through

extension connector/cable and sometimes the connector/cable is at bad

quality, it will cause SkypeConf to malfunction. For this case, we recommend

you to re-plug SkypeConf into another USB port or use one USB hub with

enough power to connect PC USB port and SkypeConf.

Q3: How do I know that SkypeConf is successfully installed?

The easy way is to check below items.

a. Check whether SkypeConf system tray icon at the right-bottom corner of

Windows desktop presented either

and system tray icon shows

SkypeConf when mouse cursor is put on SkypeConf system tray icon.

b. Hear the different Skype dial tone when you pick up the phone receiver

and SkypeConf LED is solid blue if the default operation mode of Option

dialogue in SkypeConf system tray icon is VoIP. SkypeConf LED will

turn solid green

if you press “#” key and will hear the familiar landline dial tone.

Q4: Why some of my computer USB ports don't work with SkypeConf?

Some Windows 2000 or Windows XP systems might have driver problem with

their USB 2.0 ports since both operation systems have been released before

USB 2.0 is available. However, Microsoft's Windows 2000/XP latter service

pack has added support for USB2.0. User can access Microsoft web site and

search by USB/FAQ or link

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/bus/USB/USBFAQ_intro.mspx

find more information.

User can check Windows device manager as following procedures to

see whether your problem is related with USB driver or not. After USB driver

is updated, your USB ports should work with SkypeConf and other USB

devices.
