| What are you trying to do? All of the required files are already on the MJ dongle. |

Put the Magicjack Dongle in the MotherBoard USB not the front usb of Case
this will solve the choppy propLem and serial proplem and lagging

|

I followed all the above steps. But when I click on the icon nothing happens. The software never pops up. I copied the folder from my macbook running XP on the vmware, can that be an issue?
Thank you stroths.[/quote]
Just browse to the location of your magicjack.exe that you stored in the process above, and CREATE a shortcut (that shortcut will have most of the information you need)! CUT that shortcut and paste it wherever you want it (on your desktop?)
Then just append this stuff to the info in the shortcut: /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot X:\magicJack
Just substitute your username and your drive letter (the one that is NOT the CD) for X.
When you want to activate the magicjack (when plugged-in) just click the shortcut![/quote] |

That should not make any differnece if the front USB ports are connected to the motherboard like they should be. The performance should be identical. In all my PCs they are. Those USB ports are connected to the motherboard on all my PCs. |

|

| I too can't get magicjack to launch on Windows 7 after copying the mjusbsp folder from a running version of XP. I can't figure out what the issue is. The only thing I've done differently is format MJ. It still works on XP, but would that affect how it's run or recognized on windows 7? |

The problem some people have reported is that those easy-to-reach front-facing USB ports are connected to the motherboard with a cheap cable. They claim it doesn't perform as well as surface-mounted USB ports.

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.

For computer magicians, these instructions are a piece of cake. I am no comp wiz. Can anyone really break these down to step by step instructions? That would be greatly appreciated. I value my MJ service more than Windows 7. If I can't use my MJ, I would probably revert to XP Pro. |

What problem exactly are you having? That post is so old that I'm not sure how much, if any, of it applies.
I have run MJ with Windows 7 for almost a year now with few issues, certainly nothing that would make me change operating systems.
If you can give the details of your problem it would be easier to give suggestions. |

Thank you for responding nailgunner. I think the answer partly lies in what I said re my comp background. I spent over 2 hours chatting with a MJ agent and they took me through many, many steps but in the end, nothing worked. Among the steps was changing USB ports, removing the extension USB cord, etc. The (?virtual) agent in the end asked if I had another computer, without admitting she was giving up. As things stand, the MJ icon does appear on the desktop. Then the dial image appears, and all I see is a message "waiting for device" and "starting please wait" but never beyond that. That is the best I can do. I tried appending the text suggested on the shorcut and changing the drive and username, but I got the message that "make sure the path..." "Please be patient, a registration screen will apear shortly" |
