Dylan Greene dot com

I downloaded Skype when Scoble first blogged about it on September 12, 2003. I didn't use it because I was afraid - it came from the same team that brought us the spyware/adware hell called Kazaa.

At Gnomedex I was one of a few people that didn't use Skype. Arieanna Foley of Blogaholics and BloggingHelp said she gets all of consulting jobs through Skype. KK+ of Bryght asked me what my Skype address was. That was it. I finally installed it.

My user account is dylan_greene.

Then things went bad... I was going to have it import my Outlook 2003 contacts, but instead I got this fun error:

Access violation at address 00BD3F80 in module 'Skype.exe'. Read of address 049BC000.

What does that mean? What am I supposed to do?

I'm going to try this (conflict with DEP - Data Execution Prevention - the only match on Skype's suppot site), but it requires a reboot, which I don't feel like doing. I already rebooted once this quarter.

Skype (or Windows, not sure who is really responsible for the error message) - can you make your error text a tad more understandable? Thanks!
