HI,
I'm in the U.S. - my brother is in Eastern Canada... Nova Scotia. I've called him a good number of times on his cell phone using my MJ without any problems at all. And I didn't need to use the * *

I have used the MJ with various methods -- all have been good.

I have cable at home and dsl at work. MJ works fineon both. The one at work has many people on the network - but it still works fine.

At home I have it plugged into a TC directly wired into my router -- no problem. Also if I use my ...

vixentd,

why not consider an Acer Aspire One with 120 gig HDD and XP Home. Very small, compact and perfect for traveling.

My MJ works perfect with it.

Hi,
Sounds great. I purchased a new Acer Aspire One with the XP HOme and 120 gig HDD. Magic Jack works perfect with it. The Aspire One is about the same size as yours as well. Great for travel.

Hi,

My experience with TC thus far.

Will a T5700 hp work fine with just 256 flash/256 ram and windows XPe sp 2 with the magic jack software? *No planning on the flash upgrade*

I just planning to use the magic jack on this thin client computer and nothing more.

You are asking in regards to the ...

Hi,

glad to hear it works for you jw.. yes you can lower your ram disk manager back down after the install..

I guess the question I had was --- would the TC run better if the Ram Manager was set to a higher level (54)... or would this higher setting bring further problems down the road -- if it ...

Hi kulumbaa,
Thank you for your post. I've now got my t5710 up and running without any "no sound" dialogs.

I did what you suggested and set it to 54, but also needed to follow a few extra steps to get it working fully. Here's what I did:

1. Reset the ram disk manager to 54 and committed
2 ...

the reason i installed in the 256/256 was due to sound distortions which hasnt gone away even after the dx9 install howver i dont have any no audio found. but its still useless because the sound is static and distorted when i ...

Wow - this is quite a thread of information. Some of it can be confusing.

I just wanteda to get a clear idea of what would required to get my TC 5710 512/256 up and running. Perhaps HolmanGT can confirm this.

1. According to HolmanGT's post/proceedure on page 5 -- the size of the ram doesn't ...

Hi,

That is great news... a working solution.

Question: Does anyone know how to install the DirectX update without having to upgrade the TC's memory? Or is a memory upgrade an essential need now.

I have a TC 512/256

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I've had some problems with my computer after plugging MJ into it. After having it (MJ) run for a little over 24 hours non stop -- my computer would not shut down or reboot. I had to turn it off by disconnecting the power.

I thought to myself -- this thing (MJ) is slowly draining "all" the ...

Hi,

In light of this post -- I made an interesting discovery.

When I use my TC -- when the MJ upgrades I can make the first call no problem using a regular phone. When I hang up the MJ screen disappears and it begins its upgrade -- after that I get the "No audio" dialog box. When I am finally ...

Hi,

In reference to the above posts.... I'm running the TC t5710 512/256. The newest upgrade has installed --- I don't worry abut the "audio device not found" concern because I use a regular phone attached to the mj.

However, the problem I am having is that the TC only runs for about 1 week and ...

Hi,
Thank you for yur note. All that seems to be there is just "example" files from Microsoft, but nothing at all in reference of MJ.

Any other thoughts?

Thank you

Hi stroths,

I have a question for you.

There is quite a bit of talk around the forums about the "low" outgoing voice volume using MJ.

With the setup you have with the TC have you encountered this problem of "low" outgoing voice volume? Have people said they couldn't hear you or you sound far ...

Thank you to both of you for your thoughts, ideas and help.

stroths,
When you say that your file will be for the T5700 -- do you mean the t5700 series? I have a t5710 coming, hopefully, by the end of this week. It will have 1.2ghz, 512/256 -- will your files work on it?

Also, could you please ...

HI,

For those of you that are running a TC -- have you found any operation issues such as the need to reboot after a set amount of time/days(considering thatit is running xp) . Do you run an antivirus/firewall on the unit to protect it? Or doyou just connect it to the internet as is?

Thanks in ...

Hi Stewart,

Hi again,

I have another question.

HP Thin Clients are getting hard to get or quite expensive. Has any tried running/installing the HP Thin Clients software on a different computer to see if it will work. For insance installing the OS on an older P3 700 IBM computer?

Thanks so much for your ...

Hi,
I'm new to all this and had a question.

With regards to the T5710 and the suggested modifications in this thread..... does the MJ not function properly with the stock Thin Client or do you need to make the various modifications in order for it to work properly?

Thank you in advance
