OK Go to skype.com Downloading is free, the you will need a headset $ 20 at wal mart or if you have amplified computer speakers all you need is a mic.Then Skype after downloading has a test that allows you to test if everthing is working after about 30 seconds it will stop & playback what you said if you can hear it ,that means everything is hoocked up correctly.
If You have trouble Holla my friend!
