Snow Leopard upgrade troubles - skype, kernel panics, DNS.

[bagelche]

I convinced/helped a friend upgrade her 1.83Ghz CD MacBook to Snow Leopard. It has not been a smooth ride. Right off the bat there have been persistent and recurring DNS problems. She has also found that it won't shut down without her going through and quitting or force quitting open apps--skype being of particular issue. Tonight she had a kernel panic, it seems. It appears skype is the problem app, but this didn't occur before the SL upgrade. Is it coincidental or correlated?

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the report she forwarded to me:

I came home to find my computer was frozen. I had to force a restart. (The screen was blank and it wouldn't wake up.) How bad do you think it is? Is my computer dying?

This is the report that it generated to send to apple. Is this a language that you know?

Just checking... does she have the latest version of Skype?

That crossed my mind as well. She's running 2.8.0.722. Not the latest latest, but pretty close it seems (incidentally, it's the same version I'm running).
