This post has nothing to do with my mission work.  Just to let you know.

I’ve had a problem in trying to change notifications in the Skype Preferences pane (I’m using OS X, by the way).  But, every time I clicked on the red flag (Notifications), Skype would freeze for up to a minute, then crash.  BOO!

With some help through the Skype forums, I have fixed my problem with a small deletion.  Apparently the text to speech feature, the voice of Alex to be exact, caused the problem.  Being a dedicated non-text to speech user, I had no problem ridding of my new enemy. I went to the following location and deleted the Alex.SpeechVoice folder.

Main HD > System > Library > Speech > Voices

If you happen to stumble upon this post and have pulled out numerous hairs, I hope this helps more than Rogaine.

    Wow. I couldn’t find the answer to this anywhere. You’re a lifesaver. Thanks so much.
