skype screen sharing problem on windows 7 x64

I thought there is nothing new under the sun and you can always google up a solution except for...

I have been unable to find a solution for this screen sharing problem with the skype 5.1.0.112.

The symptoms... you click to share screen sharing, the options come up asking you whether you want to share a specific window or the whole screen, after you make a selection... regardless what the selection might be...

Nothing happened... other than showing you a blurb stating the people on the other side should be able to see the screen now...

I tried to contact the tech support of skype but still haven't heard back from them...

Hope this could get resolved soon... otherwise, I will simply have to downgrade skype back to version 4...

Any suggestion?

My solution to facebook Zynga game viewing problem

Some of you might have experienced this problem I have experienced with zynga games via facebook... it might be cafe world, Farmville etc.

Essentially, the right side of the screen is cut off... leaving you only a partial view of the gaming environment...

Farmville

Cafe World

When it started to happen back weeks if not months ago, it happened when I was using Chrome.

After googling around, I found out that it is a known issue and the official remedy provided by Zynga was to "use a different browser."

Then, when I was in Shanghai, it also occurred when using Firefox with Farmville.

I did try to change the screen resolution for the computer in general but it didn't do a thing to resolve the issue.

Ended up, out of desperation, I discovered a simple resolution to resolve the viewing problem for both Chome and Firefox..... naming... change the zooming of the browser back to default or to 100%.

Firefox

Chrome

I don't know when the zooming parameters got changed and I surely don't know whether this solution might work on your end....

Yet, it solved the problem on my end and I hope it will help you, too...
