redpepper et al, I'm currently running MagicJack as a service. When I run MagicRingForever from my desktop it brings up a new instance of MagicJack and the ring forever function works fine but when the computer is rebooted the Ring Forever reverts back to normal. Do any of you know of any way to to prevent this from happening when running as a service or how I can automate the MagicRingForever process on bootup?

Thanks in advance

The only alternatives to running your magicJack as a service that I know that would work with the MagicRingForever tool are as follows:

1. Run your magicJack normally and use the free Magicsilence tool available from http://tools.pcphonesoft.com to keep the magicJack dialer from popping up and keep your work focused.

2. Set up a completely separate user account on your computer to run your magicJack .

Thanks redpepper, that's what I've done now. The only issue I have is that I need the desktop to log on automatically if the computer reboots due to updates etc. I'm currently trying TweakUI from Microsoft to facilitate that need, but for some reason it doesn't seem to continue the auto log on after the first reboot.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There are some pretty smart people that contribute to this forum so perhaps somebody else can help you figure out how to do an auto login on reboots.

A number of people have simply moved to thin client solutions that are not very expensive.

I am a Google Voice user and wanted to say thanks for magicringforever. I've had MJ for a couple of years, but haven't used it fully in part because of the voice mail. This works great.

Will Magicringforever enable the use of a local answering machine again? Meaning now MJ voicemail picks up just before our conventional answering machine but with Magicringforever the phone will continue to ring until answering machine answers? (Yes, we can set the answering machine to pick up in two rings, but that is way too short of time. We prefer six rings or so.)

I'm afraid I cannot put your comment in context.

For clarification, you only need to run the MagicRingForever tool one time when you want to either Enable or Disable continuous ringing. It does not need to continously run in the background or be run on restarts.

After you change the setting to either Enable or Disable continuous ringing, you close the window that MagicRingForever opens on you computer screen and that also exits the program itself.

You might do a search in the other forums but it appears this is gone forever after the most recent "Lucky You" upgrade. redpepper addresses it here somewhere or on his site, so you may wish to go straight to the source.
