 |
|
When I checked my task manager this morning (running Windows 7, 6G RAM), I was shocked to find that Magicjack was using 360M of memory just idling. I shut it down and restarted it and it reloaded at slightly less than 40M but has grown to 47M in the last 10-15 minutes. Anybody else seen this behavior or have any idea as to what is going on?
Also rebooted into older Vista OS and did not see the problem. BTW - my magicjack will only work under Windows 7 running in compatibility mode for Vista. Wonder if this is causing the problem. |

Have you tried this method for running mj on 7, does not require running compatibility mode.

it has worked well for me over the past week or so, but I have not been watching memory usage. Just looking at my current memory usage: after mj as been running for several hours it's at ~23M, after restarting mj ~17M, stays there till I make a call then it climbs to ~20M. |

| Yes - have set up exactly as described but it won't run natively (gets error 9). Only runs in compatibility mode and only Vista compatibility mode. I suspect I wouldn't have this problem if it wasn't running in compatibility mode. BTW - your memory numbers mirror what I was getting under Vista. |

Just to see what would happen I ran my mj on win7 under Vista compatibility mode. I started mj at 5:30pm it was using 18.6M of memory. After an hour an a half, at 7pm, it was using 36.8M of memory. I made no calls, it was just idle like you described. Seems to be related to compatibility mode like you suggested. |
