Joe,

You could still try the commands:

powercfg /deviceDisableWake Ymax MagicJack USB Device (003)
and
powercfg /deviceDisableWake Ymax MagicJack USB Device (007)

I find it weird your computer comes back with NONE when you do:
powercfg /devicequery wake_programmable
or
powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

Mine at least lists a few things. Like my Network adapter for instance. I'm doing these commands on my netbook which is running XP SP3. It's the only computer I have running XP.

Hopefully we'll get this figured out for you. Or maybe magiJack will. Rolling Eyes

I'm using windows 7 on a new machine. I have checked and rechecked everything. My overrides are showing after the "powercfg /requestsoverride" command. Still no screensaver, until I UNPLUG MY DOGGONE MAGICJACK. Not a huge issue since it's on a desktop, but like everyone else, the whole thing is really starting to wear thin with me.

show.stopper's post above had exactly what i needed. thanks
the command i used was this - maybe your's will be similar - you need to use the quotes or you will get an error because of the spaces

Thanks for the suggestion. That was the only way it would work for me too when I tried earlier. I received the message that "you don't have permission to enable or disable wake device" as was mentioned in his fix. (Yes, I ran as administrator). And when I ran "powercfg devicequery wake_armed" as mentioned by areamike the MJ isn't listed. But, I tried it all again with the exact same results. Go figure. I've run so many command lines, if they do put a fix though, I think my computer will spit it back.

The application found at the link above will help you overide MJ's limitations on power saving features (such as allowing for a screen saver and putting the monitor to sleep). This is a trial version (sorry for the previous incorrect info). The software has been successfully tested with Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista and Windows 7!
It was an easy fix for me and has some cool features like hotkeys for powersaving options.

Yea, I agree Gahbahj. Website says you can turn monitor off 10 times with the trial version. Heck, I'll use that up just testing the system. No thanks.

ok here is the deal

all day long and a simple capitol "J" in magicJack.exe stumped me

follow this it works! step by step:

hit the start button in windows7

type cmd into the search box

rightclick on cmd run as administrator

type powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY <------------------This is case sensitive type this line exactly the same as shown!

make sure you typed the capitol letters and not lower case look at the one in magic"J"ack make sure that is capitol as well!

hit enter

unplug your magicjack

reboot your computer and leave it unplugged

once computer boots up set your screen saver for 1minute then let it sit for one minute to activate screen saver ...

Now plug in your magic jack let it sit for another minute viola screen saver active now!

if you wish to activate sleep as well follow the same instructions but just type this line instead of that line:

type powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY SYSTEM

Bingo if you follow this it will work! you don't have to type out this long line of garbadge \device\yadda\yadda\yadda to get this to work!

ENJOY!
