All right... I'm officially giving up. I kept oscillating between that thought and, "It's only $20//year from now on, so it needn't work reliably," but then, what's the point? Even if I didn't need to reset that register every time, the software still causes unhandled exception errors several times ...

Sorry, I don't understand what is happening. I thought that the software did not explicitly write this value, though it would be set to 32 (default) by the hardware, on power up and when the software reset the device. It seemed that a simple script to set the desired value, shortly after the MJ ...

This may fix your ring trip problem:

Go to http://www.tjnet.com/chips/tiger560C.htm , get the datasheet, click the Hardware SDK link and get the test program. Try the Ring Test function. I expect it to fail; if it succeeds, maybe you do have a software issue! Then, read register 3C (hex). I expect ...

The MJ is plugged into a powered Linksys hub without the dongle . Did you try to connect the MJ direct to a usb behind your pc and not use the hub? No, I have not yet, in that it does not work for my configuration, but I will eventually just to prove it wouldn't make a difference. I've plugged ...

As likemagic said or turn off boot from a thumb drive all together. By the way it is not uncommon for machine to come pre-configured to do that, boot from a thumb drive is it is their. HP does that all the time.

In fact the very same thing caused me some problems just the other day. But it is not ...

MJ installed as bootable device in BIOS??

Has anyone checked their system BIOS since they installed MJ? Specifically, their boot order?

When I powered my system back on after the first shutdown after MJ was installed, the boot loader told me to insert a system disk. I was fearing that my hard drive died. I looked at the BIOS setup to ...

My problem was on my XP machine. When I plugged it into the Vista, I waited for several minutes before the "few minutes of patience is worth years of savings" window told me, in bold red letters, that the MJ must be plugged into the USB port. Duh... isn't that how the software launched? Every ...

I have 25 years of troubleshooting experience, which means I know the difference between a solvable and an unsolvable problem. I can unplug & plug the MJ all day & night, but that won't fix an internal hardware problem or a conflict deep in the fetid bowels of Windows.

did that

I figured it was a hardware problem, and I already tried another phone. And it's already plugged into a powered hub.

Does installing the software as a service eliminate the conflict with Nero? How would I do that?

I agree that it would be a great little device if it worked. I wanted to be one of ...

Auto hang-up on received call & phone doesn't ring

Mine arrived today, and I already have the return form ready to fill out, unless someone can help.

When the phone is unplugged, the softphone works fine. But when a telephone is plugged in, the softphone auto-answers and immediately auto-hangs the call, and the phone never rings.

I just got out of ...
