My daughter reports that since Saturday, 8/16/08, she can not call any land lines in the 716 area code. (she is located in the 716 area code) This is the first problem she has had in the past 2 months. She is running latest version of MJ on a T5700 1gig/512. She can call cell phones with 716 and ...

I see a lot of people using these HP units and having the same issue with the "no audio devices found"

It is not isolated to just these systems. I am running an older Dell Optiplex GX150 with nothing but XP SP2 and MJ running.

I have the same, exact issues. Downgrading works sometimes, and ...

I saw the sticky thread and have read through it ... but looking for advice w/r/t my particular situation. Can't really make heads nor tails of what is the best approach.

I just want to run this TC (just won on eBay, think I won at a nice price) for my magicjack, no more, no less.

Please indulge me...Try to list out step by step everything your doing to install DirectX. List out any errors too. This way we can see what if anything your doing wrong....

DxDiag.exe should be in the this directory....C:\WINDOWS\system32

Check to see that you have this directory.....C:\WINDOWS\system32\DirectX

if you installed it correctly then DXDiag should be there. How are you trying to run it?

Do you get error(s) when you try to copy the file to drive C: ? Do you get errors when you try to run the DirectX file? What are the actual errors?

I've been getting this message for the past hour. Trying to call area code 716-240-XXXX. I've made successful calls to non magicjack numbers. I'm wondering if others are having this problem today? I just setup a t5700 for my daughter and plan on taking it to her this weekend.

If someone has a freshly flashed T5700 before removing any programs can they verify that Dxdiag exists?
I've been told that the original few release's of XPe for the t5700 did not have DirectX installed. So no DxDiag. Possibly a stripped down version maybe be in the latest release (256 min ram ...

bneuman

I would add:

Update audio device drivers [if needed]

Only because in addition to your steps, I had to do that on my T5710 to finally get it working. The reason I know this is because both times I installed DX I ran dxdiag to make sure it was installed properly and that the devices were working ...

Hi guys. As a noob I have been watching this thread closely. After seeing all of the hoops that you guys had to jump through to get the update working I'm just wondering if it all was worth it.

So am I still the only person who has the latest version running on a T5710? My machine must be some kind of fluke.
