After four hours and two loptops running two seprate additions of XP; denying that my magic jack was a viable device! I never was able to get to that special folder the keeps being mentioned in this thread. I did not use the "splash screen" method, nor any of the mentioned ones.

I plugged it in, and THEN... I did what it asked and scanned & repaired the "malfunctioning" device.
Then, I went here: http://upgrades.magicjack.com/upgrade/upgrade.exe

I saved the upgrade, then ran it twice until it seemed to stick. I then did the thing most users do to make sure a program sticks in windows, I restarted. Next, I ran it a third time and, it then stuck. It started with no red lettering included.

I did the cell phone test to be sure (both ways) and called a family member to make sure I was not crazy and only thinking it worked. In three years of networking classes, and two of being on a robotics team, I still use the K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid) method.

When all else fails, revert to basic troubleshooting.

well i just copied the mjusbps folder from my xp machine and followed step 1 copying it into the apps folder in windows 7 and was able to make calls right away. the phone does not start with splash, and i did not attempt to disable that in anyway. i start it by clicking on the desk top short cut. call quality has definitely improved from xp machine..

I am running the oem version of the final windows 7, and the only problem I had was that the installation did not start automatically. The computer opened two file windows, and I just clicked on Setup.exe, and the rest went without incident.

After installing Win 7 - Magic Jack was "awful". I have been a MagicJack supporter for some time. Great deal of echo.
Here's what I did.
1. Right Click on Sound/Volume Icon at bottom of screen (right side)
2. Click on "Playback" devices
3. You should see Handset usb device.
4.Highlight and then click properties.
5. Click Advanced tab and you will see default format. Be sure that this is set for "telephone" quality and NOT tape recorder quality.
6. Save and that's it. Magic Jack is working great.

I just love my "LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY"

Yes, Magicjack works perfectly with Window 7.

You can download the upgrade for window 7 from the given link.

http://upgrades.talk4free.com/tools/magicJackUpdate.exe

If you get warning or error broken storage then format magicjack's removable drive Computer and run the upgrade from the above link without unplugging.

Works just as easy and as well on Windows 7 Ultimate as it does on windows XP.. worked fine for me on vista too (after it updated). Also switching between computers with XP, 7, & Vista worked fine.... A minute of patience for a lifetime of savings....

I can get the MJ to work on Windows 7 Professional, but it has a ton of dropouts. Worked just fine on XP, but on Windows 7 it's been giving me nothing but problems.

I have to run it the "manual" way with the command line values. I tried to update the MJ with the magicjackupdate.exe file, but it keeps saying that the MJ is not plugged in.

Any suggestions?

Just plugged it in on my W7 professional system and it is working fine. Better sound quality so far (with computer otherwise idle) than what I had on the same computer when it was running XP. I did notice a slight delay when each party started speaking, seems more noticable than before, but much less static and audio breaking out and in.

for those that installed the magicjack client for windows 7, does it still take focus away from whatever you were doing (like gaming) whenever someone makes a call or pickup?
