Hi,

First thanks for this great product, faster than Fraps and now I can use directly the avi files in VirtualDub with AviSynth

Now I encounter a problem that prevent me to use it all the time as I use Skype almost all the time : it makes Skype to crash on every call.

The only way to bypass it is to close Action!, start the phone call with Skype, close the caller window (it's this precise window that crashes, not Skype's main window), and then launch Action!.

But if I open the call window when Action! is launched, Skype crashes.

I think the call window uses DirectX render (maybe for video calls), as Fraps is shown in it, but it can't handle Action!.

By the way, I use Windows Live Mail, and it seems to use DirectX to render some views, so Action! is diplayed 3 times in Windows Live Mail.

An option to add processes to an ignore list could be usefull to avoid Skype crashes and multiple FPS counters in Windows Live Mail and others.

Thanks !

Thank you very much for the report and feedback.

Whats your Skype version and Windows version (vista/7/ 32 or 64bit)?
Does problem occur both for video and voice calls?

My Skype version is 5.10.32.115 (the latest), but happend also with the 5.9.

I use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

The problem occurs with both video and voice calls.

But I noticed that if I manage to hide the HUB in Windows Live Mail, it does not show up in Skype's calls (thus it doesn't crash), but shows in games, so it can be a temporary solution.

Still happening in Action! 1.7 and Skype 5.10.32.116.

Any word on this issue ?

Thanks.

Still happening in 1.8.0

I'd like to have Action! launched all the time, but I can't, if someone calls me on Skype, Skype crashes.

Please check 1.9.2, should be fixed now.

Yes it's fixed, thanks a lot

Thanks for confirmation!
