Shoutbox

I am experiencing a similar issue, I was not given any prompt to accept or deny access to Skype, but nor do I have the option to allow programs to skype from the advanced options menu. I have tried reinstalling, with and without my antivirus enabled to no avail. -I have the icon in my tray, but right clicking on it only nets greyed out options for me.

Any suggestions?

W7 x64
Skype 5.8.0.158

-Edit

Using the helpful suggestion to look in the Tools--> Options --> Advanced --> Manage other programs' access
I now see the Plus! and that it is registered within Skype. But I can't access it.
Only when I am in a call it will sometimes pop up and ask if it should record.

BUT: even when it does pop up and does start recording, after a while the audio shifts and the audio is no longer synchronised. The longer the conversation, the longer the lag, so this is useless for me.
