Extraction instuctions are poorly written. This doesn't work on Win Xp as written. Please explain how you got it to work, and specify your username etc.

Works as advertised, but only as long as I didn't try using it while connected to internet through a dial-up line. I kept being disconnected every 30 seconds at best...

This can't be stealth. Every time I log into my comp, Opentalk launches itself. It's not in Startup-folder, thought. I have XP.

Don't waste your time on this program.

My experience with OpenTalk:
Downloaded it fine (from a very dodgey looking homepage). Installed fine.
Ran fine.
Unable to register an account.
Error says I've registered 29 accounts out of a maximum of 5 "on this computer" and to contact support.
Unable to find any way to contact support.
Re-checked website & program for any hint of a "support" link; found none.
Checked Softpedia's page for OpenTalk. Found it was last malware checked several years ago and there is 2 negative comments, no positive ones.
Checked TPFC's page for OpenTalk. Found 8 comments, 7 of them negative.
Uninstalled OpenTalk.
Ran malware scans.
