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.

Thanks so much for the instructions. After using http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MagicJack/Support_Resources/How-To/Splash_Screen and using the proper setting for my computer (took a few times to get it to keep the quotation marks.) it started up perfectlly. Very Happy

I called my voicemail and was blown away. The call was crystal clear and it has never been on XP or Vista.
Awesome and thanks! Cool

This works great and I managed to get MagicJack to work on Windows 7 as well. I have also set the priority to 'high'. What gives me the best formance though? It is setting the application to 'high' or making magicjack a service?

Thanks,
DJKerby

How-2 get MAGICJACK on WINDOWS 7 | Unofficial magicJack forum

http://www.magicjacksupport.com/post29556.html#29556

I added some additional notes to the information posted by "stroths"

<========================================================>
"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. "

Added Note:
If you copy from XP, the path you copy from will be:
C:\Documents and Settings\<your-login-name\Application Data\mjusbsp

"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. "

Added Note:
Use the drive letter of the "magicJack" "FAT" drive, not the magicJack CD drive.
You can build a short cut to start MagicJack using the script above.
<========================================================>
After completing the steps above, I plugged in the MagicJack device into a USB port on my Desktop AMD 64x2 running Windows 7 Beta 32-bit version. After waiting about a minute, I clicked the new "shortcut" and MagicJack started up and is working great.

I also followed the instructions under Windows 7 and magicjack starts up but never connects, failing with an error 9. Uninstalled antivirus to test (no change though it worked fine with Norton internet security 2009 under Vista 64-bit) and made sure any security was disabled.

Did all the standard - upgraded, unplugged, replugged, re-registered, etc.

Any thoughts???

When I try the above strategy I get this message:

Address"\foreground" supplied in the command line is invalid.
Do you want to open SJphone address string syntax reference?

If I answer yes, I get this message:
Cannot open file:
C:\User\username\AppData\Roaming\mjusbsp\SJphone.chm::/sjphonecommandlineswitches.htm.

Any guess where my error is?

Here is my exact target:

"C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Roaming\mjusbsp\magicJack.exe" \foreground /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot "m:\magicJack"

I also tried:

C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Roaming\mjusbsp\magicJack.exe \foreground /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot "m:\magicJack"

and:

"C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Roaming\mjusbsp\magicJack.exe" \foreground /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot m:\magicJack
