 |
|
Thank you SO much.. i am aggressively running the windows 7 beta with no time for nonsense! I have asked MJ for a workaround with windows 7. ha haa ha ha ha ha ha yeah.. You have saved me from running MJ on my backup server.. it is once again quiet here in the office (at home)
Your solution DOES work on a standalone instalation. I created a shortcut for it and then stuck it in the startup folder! Have a great day!

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.

Whoo HOO! I forgot I plugged my MagicJack into a friends XP computer and was able to retrieve the folder! All is well now -- have it up and working on Windows 7.
Hints: Hard to get quotes to stick in shortcut - press ENTER in the text box and NOT the OK button on the panel.

| I can make outgoing calls but when someone calls, it rings and I can't and they can't hear any audio. My firewall is wide open and my router is too. Scratching head trying to figure it out. |

I lost my audio after installing magicjack. Right click on the speaker icon in the lower right sytem tray. Select playback devices. Make sure that your speaker high definition audio device is set to default. Then below that set your speaker usb audio device to communication default. Then click OK and restart. |

I got it working by setting it in Vista compatablity mode. Now, it's using 50% of my CPU (P4 D 3ghz) and 500mb system memory. It may have always done this -- didn't check until now. If I don't start MJ, my CPU runs 1-3% typically and much less memory usage. It's plugged into the computer and NOT on a usb hub.

| I have done some research and it turns out that Vista has the same problem. When you connect 2 or more audio devices and restart, Windows defaults back to the first USB audio device. Apparently many people have the same complaint I do and there may not be a way to change it. So every restart I have to manually select my default audio device in Windows, hard to believe! |

Had exactly the same problem and have not found an answer yet. Have somewhat isolated why in won't run in native mode by doing log comparisons but don't have the know-how to analyze for a solution. Anyone interested in looking at what I've found? |

Other people have similar issue when running in compatibility mode, at least as far as increased memory usage. Not sure abound the CPU usage.

|
|
I apologize in advance, but I accidently posted this in the wrong area before;
I tried adding the command line shortcut for MagicJack. I get nothing when I plug it into my Windows 7 machine; no light, program, etc. Is anyone else running the 64 bit version of Windows 7? |

Hmmm
I have tried all the steps outlined here and still no joy..
It tells me MagicJack has crashed do to a call to NTDLL.dll call in system32,,,of which win7 won't let me remove or rename because I'm not a trusted installer.
I have full control as a administrator,,, so what the heck is this "trusted install" ?
At lease I have a dual boot system,,, vista and win7 so I can still use my magicjack, but would love to get it to work in win7.
The one thing I can't get is the quotes to stay in the short cut ?
"C:\Users\YourUserName\appdata\Roaming\mjusbsp\magicjack.exe" /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot X:\magicJack
Any help greatly appreciated,,, TIA

| You should not need the quotes if you are not trying to bridge any space characters. Although putting quotes like that is redundant, MS probably erases them because they don't trust you to be master of your own computer. (That's not an insult to you, but to them.) |

As an FYI for you all. I recently installed build 7048 of Win7 and MagicJack appears to work out of the box. I get the typical "Please wait for a lifetime of free calls" (or whatever is says) and then the service starts on it's own since going to this version.
So, MS changed something and it appears to allow the device to work as it does in XP/Vista. |
