Outlook - Unable to create new item (if Skype installed)

If Skype and Outlook are running at the same time, and you try to create a new Outlook message, you may get an error message saying something to the extent "can't create new item".

The solution is to open Skype and under the view menu, and click on "View Outlook Contacts".
