[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 858422, member: 24160"] For Skype - assume you are not using the Beta version - are you using nod32? It has a known issue with Skype and will need to be disabled prior to launching Skype. For the best help with Skype, you should check out their community - [URL="http://forum.skype.com/"]here[/URL]. It could also be the sound drivers with Skype, which could also be the issue with your JamVox and the crackling in your speakers. (I have read about issues with the audio drivers for XP that were fixed with the Vista drivers and word on the street is that they will not be fixed for XP.) Since you've got the latest Bootcamp drivers, I'm inclined to agree with squeabs. Try installing the 2.1 drivers again - he's correct though, Windows usually doesn't like that - then a fresh install may be the way to go. The Firefox issue becomes moot with a fresh install. If you get it working without that, give us a shout back about Firefox. edit: there are some others here with quite a bit more experience on the Win side of the machine than I have, so you might wait a day or two and see if one of them has any better suggestions.
