Hi, As an alternative to Skype I would recommend to try Google hangouts. It comes automatically with Gmail account and works perfectly smoothly on my slacko 5.6.0. P.S. before making first call it asks to install "Hangouts plugin". Just download the file on your computer and install it. In...

I tested this again using the WiFi_Intel_1000_AP_XP_z1300107.zip. You would need to pick the driver that matches your hardware. But although the driver installed OK, there is no guarantee that it will work. I have also tried to install WiFi_Intel_1000_AP_XP_z1300107.zip driver and it seems like dri...
