HP T5000
XPe Ver 2002 Service Pack 2
256MB RAM

I use this thin client as a dedicated machine to run MagicJack (MJ).

MJ was working fine until a couple of days ago. When I plug it in it seems to do the upgrade and initially was stopping saying "can't connect to internet".
But i can use (and yes it functions just fine) the same MJ from my win7 laptop that is also connected to the same router - thus it can't be a router (port) problem, correct?

Earlier at one point it did say not enough disk space; but that doesn't seem to happen any more.

No MJ Disks show up in explorer and when the shortcut for MJ on the desktop is clicked it starts to load, then stops and disappears.

Help!! I need to get this running on my thin client once again.

If you check this "dialpad does not appear" thread, your problem "MAY" be lack of memory.

This should be the 512MB C:/ flash drive for it:

These thin clients are not plug and play, and not for beginners to set up the magic jack upon. I have been using one for a couple of months now, t5700 with 256 for storage and ram. Lots of problems. Right now I am reinstalling the operating system again. The MJ program has been hanging right at the end, saying please wait, yet never loading the contacts. Put the MJ back into my desktop computer, works great! And even step one, on the thin client, reimaging the operating system, that is a problem too, windows starting up then just a blank blue screen with a large arrow, WTF? So now I am reinstalling it again. Definitely not plug and play more like plug fail fail pray fail and give up. This site is great, thanks for the help, but everyone keeps using the wrong terms for storage and ram. "I had to buy 512 HD space" to quote a recent post, but most posts tend to be confusing with everyone using ambigious terms--hey it's all flash and it's all memory, how about not using those words? Maybe block them like a$$ and etc are blocked. And several have said you need 512 to run MJ now, yet most posts have not been amended; is this true or not?

It is the "storage" RAM that is your problem. Your storage is a type of memory known as FLASH RAM (which is your C:\ drive). It is a type of memory know as EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory). It remembers what it's contents are when powered down (unlike the other type of memory in your thin client that is lost as soon as it is powered down). The FLASH memory needs to be more the 256 MB after MJ's last update. (512 MB is the next increment up.)

After you add the 512 MB FLASH and install the OS by booting from a USB memory stick per HP/Wyse, the thin client will truly be plug, play and forget. I run an HP t5710 with 512 RAM and 1 GB of FLASH. I added MS Windows firewall. It is set to reboot once a month just for good measure. I have not touched it for a very long time and MJ phone service is excellent.

I just thought I'd add in here that I found the 1GB Transcend flash DOM for a cheaper price than transcend.com - after doing a lot of looking around!

I just ordered one from Memory.com at this link:

http://www.memory.com/ts1gdom44h-s.html

It was $15.70 with free shipping and no tax. The company is based in Texas so I suppose there isn't any tax in the other 49 states. Be sure to select the "free shipping" option on the checkout page before submitting the order, because it defaults to FedEx ground shipping, which is expensive (almost $7, in my case).

(note: I am not connected to memory.com in any manner, just thought I'd pass this on since I couldn't find a lower price anywhere)

I suspect they'll use USPS for shipping since the module is small and flat, in their terms it states they may choose different methods of shipping for the free shipping orders. I have no idea how long it'll take to receive the package. Meanwhile, MJ is running on my home PC.

Got my cf2ide card and cable. Connected my 4gb hitachi microdrive. Bios recognized correct size of flash disk. After installed xpe from HP, it would not log in says something like can not accuratel verify something and keeps giving the same message. Went back to check asset tag it was blanked. Made another flash drive with full xp pro, but the installation stopped at install devices or drivers when the screen says 34 min remaining. While searching an anwser, put back orginal 256mb flash and MJ. Have not tried antiwpa but wondering, does xpe allows safemode? If yes, that mode hooks up usb? As I am away from my t5710, not able to try if safemode is available. What is the easiest way to load xpe to my 4gb microdrive? VaHam's pdf instruction is very nice but it does not mention this unable to login issue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

XPe from HP for many of their thin clients will fail to install if the C: FLASH drive is bigger than 1 GB. This issue is covered somewhere in this thread I believe. There may be a work around but I don't know of it.

You should be able to install the full edition of XP without any problems.
