all I can think to do is put skyrim in windowed mode and stretch it to where you can see your GF on skype as well

Skype can run in the background. Whats on your screen doesn't translate to what she sees. So like this:
>set skyrim to windowed mode
>call her up and video chat
>position the mini-skype overlay to wherever you want.

basically, everything that your camera sees is what she'll be getting, and skype will automatically set up a small window with her video transmitting as soon as you minimize skype.

Thats what I was looking for guys. We skyped for four hours, and I was playing Skyrim the whole time.

Thanks
