On my machine, a clean install went ok if you can install it but not
if you want to install the AMD dual core processor.

On an upgrade, I got the BSOD 15 times. I could run in safe mode but
not in normal mode

Not trying to be rude, but this is an MJ forum, not a Win7 forum.

Why should we care? Question

Does the magicJack run with that Windows beta 7 for dhs13?

I recently installed Windows 7 and I can confirm that MagicJack does not install correctly using the Vista drivers..I am still messing around with it, but please if anybody has had any success let me know. Thanks.

I can confirm the Magicjack doesn't work with Windows 7.

Well...we cant really expect them to support a beta version of Microsofts next OS. It would be nice to see if MJ were at least working on beta support for it though. I'm running a dual boot system...and was hoping to leave Windows 7 running most of the time. Until someone can figure out a workaround to get MJ running...I guess we will just have to stick with Vista/XP.

OK, I had to test this for myself and I got it to work. It requires two things.

1. Copy the mjusbsp folder from a working install on XP or Vista to the C:\Users\YourUserName\appdata\Roaming folder in Windows 7.

2. You have to start it the no splash way to get it to load. Otherwise, you will get an error that it's not plugged in.

"C:\Users\YourUserName\appdata\Roaming\mjusbsp\magicjack.exe" /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot X:\magicJack

Just substitute your username and your drive letter for X.

Keep in mind I installed Windows 7 on a vmware image as there is no way I am putting this beta on my real machine. I made a test call from the MJ to my cell phone. I also made a call from my cell phone to the magicjack. Both worked fine. The call was a little choppy at first, but was fine after that.

EDIT: Here's a pic of it. Click it for a very large version of the screenshot.
