I installed Skype and did a video call to Mexico and it worked wonderfully, but afterward IE8 started acting strange. It shut down JAVA and FLASH plug-ins and even questioned Windows Live Writer. As Skype was the last program I had installed I uninstalled it and IE8 was a very happy guy again.

Because Skype is badly behaved, attempts to read the BIOS and generally ignores DEP. If you have IE7's DEP protection on you'd see the same thing. IE8 enforces this I believe.

Skype 4 also not working? Chatting seems to work great in 7 with Skype 4.
