By the way, do I assume correctly we can no longer upload images here? Like screenies? Cause there is an Img* above. does htis mean like photobucket? Cause I did two screenies.

Hi again,

Cause nobody's posted in response to this issue, I did a live chat with a MJ guy who was pretty amazing & adorable.....tho the first person I got hooked me up with him, Ezekiel, a true Geek.

Will rot bore with all the Byzantine details, but even after using the fix MJ tool.....which at ...

Ariesjill

Hi,

Suddenly, my on screen Keypad works, but my actual phone, which is my preferred choice, is dead. This is simple, basic AT & T phone; it ain't the phone.

I am still in my first year MJ subscription, it expires in March of 09; I just checked.

Wut UP Wit Dis?????

thanks,
Jill ...

Ariesjill

Final addenda....I must soon leave building;

I looked and there are some really good no money pulls re sound blaster cards, etc. on ebay. I have had good luck there with man, many things ---also once got total lemon brand new WD HDD.....but they sent me a replacement. So if necessary consider this ...

Ariesjill

Ya know.....if all else fails and this puter has a PCI board with expansion slots which I am sure it does.....U could get inexpensive new soundcard for humans not dysfunctioal bats.... and just install it!

You would, of course, then have to enter yr bios and look around and disable yr onboard ...

Ariesjill

Way. I think u are verr smart and natural detective! Told ya instincts are the igher intelligence....versus cognition. Now this is what I found pre launch of (Eeeewwwwww) VISTA. Tthere are others for (Eeeeewww) VISTA. Might work with yr individual Realtk card:

Ariesjill

I agree....this is insanity-making!

Re yr chip....yes, it appears it might be. but no problem....it would only mean, if it is, It could support 64-bit platform OS, or THINKS IT CAN. lol In this go to system, I have the Intel Presler chip (P-D 3.40)....it too supports 64 bit version of XP should ...

Ariesjill

Common guys....doesn't someone here have some THOUGHTS? Someone with cupboard more filled than mine?

OK wait....this guy has same sound card as U, right?????????

Also less ram than U. Maybe ...

Ariesjill

Ok HDD temp OK. . Did U use the Software diagnostics option in Astra? Did you look in Device Manager to see if anything is shown yellow? Or hail fellow? Or mellow? Are there insects living in yr case? I am loosing it.

If U are on auto updates (I would rather eat worms)....this would mean you have ...

Ariesjill

With the Astra interface open.....focus on left vertical menu. Diagnostics is second option from bottom. Expand that by clicking on the +.

Ariesjill

Hi again,

I see re the image. I have no clue. I had no doubt yr OS was legit.

Really.....it again doesn't sound as if yr integrated sound card is the problem.

Most if not all of the not supported items you see in Astra are normal for yr system, unless smeting strikes you as relevant.

I fear I am ...

Ariesjill

PPS.....to get back to an earlier suggestion, pls read this:

http://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/index.php/t47297.html

Now, I clearly recall uploading images here.. I see insert image button in toolbar, so I must figure out how to use it to do this.....cause no way is my version of Pro diff from ...

Ariesjill

Afterquestion:

Do I assume correctly that your OS is XP Pro 32-bit platform???????????? Astra will confirm. I mean, given yr specs....if yr OS came with the system....I doubt yr chip would support 64-bit. Did it? Come with the system? Restore disk OEM? Or did you load a retail copy?

I don get why ...

Ariesjill

hey!

I regret the Richard Bone fix din work. Re sound card.....sure, most commercial rigs have integrated and sometimes people add their own. I am no kinda expert in soundcards......but I seriously doubt this is causing yr CPU to cycle at 100% when U engage a VOIP phone.......I will dig more.

I am ...

Ariesjill

Hi,

Thanks for this. I thought maybe there was a way I could use my cable modem to do this.....but I guess not. I have dial=up/FAX modems in two obsolete puters......I can easily pull and install one in tthis system....and I will

Thanks again!

Jill

Ariesjill

Quintessential pot and kettle phenomena here. .. re awake and judging. I am not moved to combat...but stand by my visceral take of your current frustration-generated essence.

I know how to slipstream a service pack into an os.

Were I you.... I would be pithy and pragmatic and waste o more time in ...

Ariesjill

You have done HEROICALLY!!!!!! Now, take a break, remove yr MJ....and let us both wait for someone with tons of experience....cause turst me, U are not the oly human with this specific issue....I Gogled and see this issue with Skype users all over the net.

Hear the melodic progression....and trust ...

Ariesjill

Puhleeeeaze....I read the word expertise and I drank whole mug of Hemlock. In this, I thimk I am over my paygrade.

Yr startup looks OK.....not sure what U need the adobes to load on boot for.

Ariesjill

For me....the possible ...

Ariesjill

OK...now, is this Global Warming? No. Is this PMS? No. So chill. Now, again, if your emachine is runing XP.....please again try to follow the steps to see if voice recognition is on or off. Focus....use the right tabs......this is not the Nuclear Winter. Or even summer, OK?

Then, open W Task Mrg ...

Ariesjill

OK first...Yr system is running xP, yes? the voice recognition would be in the operating system.....as an option. If it is on it might interfere or cause conflicts with yr MJ software.

Now, let me see if this works: No.....it din. work.

Ariesjill

Here I is again....floundering.

Now, go to Control Panel and hit Sounds & Audio devices icon. Make sure yr default device is yr soundcard and not the MJ TigerJet USB thingy. As example, I will upload a screenie of mine with relevant part expanded. A pic is worth a thousand ./.....well, U know ...

Ariesjill

Hi,

Well appreciate yr trying....plus, the apps you now have will serve U well when we get this fixed.

Ariesjill

Hi agiaN,

First....not to panic. It's life....life is troubleshooting. But not always, lol

Appears yr specs are OK, so that's good. Also appears U have good coaxial broadband, so that's MORE GOOD!

By fully patched, I mean is yr system on auto updates from Microsoft? Or do you visit them on ...

Ariesjill

Hi,

Sorry bout all this. Now, Do U mean you did a clean install of OS using slipstreamed disk? If so, why did U do this? If you did this, before you did, did you have another installation of XP and then, when final version of SP3 was added to critical updates.....you downloaded SP3?

Sounds as if ...

Ariesjill

Hi,

I just posted question and saw this. Then, I opened my W task Mgr and dialed with my MJ to make sure it did not impact CPU usage in this system.

1) Is this new MJ installation? Meaning, did it once work normally and suddenly yr chip started stressing-cycling like mad?

2) Can U pls share yr ...

Ariesjill

Hi all!

My initial MJ self-induced masochism issue re installation on go-to desktop has healed, so time for a NEW ONE! Now, like most, I despise my FAX machine. So suddenly, it struck me, why not add Windows fAX coponents in xP Proand set it up to use with my MJ.....via my coaxial cable broadband ...

Ariesjill

I just submitted a reply and got the bug and the music and the buzz....wut up wit dat? Now I gotta do over.

Yes! AWC! I was a tester on this puppy for Hugo and the amazing guys at iobit in China!!! They R the best. Yes! We luv our MagicJacks! But I am amazed at how defensive some who went Vonage ...

Ariesjill

But note, in my case, MJ installed immediately on two of my systems but not my go to desktop. People here....were AMAZING....and poor, DEAR Richard Bone, the pundit got so exhausted he hadda take sabbatical, OMG. And in my case....I came to I hadda do clean install of OS, which we would rather eat ...

Ariesjill

Ditto again....I use that as well....also 3 others. I think my fav is Superantispy. I bought pro version....lifetime subscription; very little money, runs actively to preclude insects, customizable scans and very effective.

I do not get why people I know never bother to learn how to keep their ...

Ariesjill

I am not Familiar with that firewall but will now Google. I like AVG free which is now bundled with antispy....tho I use more than one antispy. But clearly yr puter or puters=HAPPY!

Ariesjill

Cuse me....they are MICROSOFT, OK? :roll: For XP alone... three service packs, each comprising a gazillion hotfixes... and into NUMBER FOUR. They have whole CREW just addressing hotfix installation hell. We must never pray to False Gods and Monopolists posing as those.
