I have no problem using MJ until today that I discover MJ cannot call the Canadian cell phone #. Apparently the way to overcome this issue is to use *67+first digit of area code+*+rest of the number.

For example: if the phone number is 416-555-1212
you would then enter this number as follows: *674 ...

Mike, EXCELLENT message.

Sadly IMO far too few will support the message with conviction and corrective action.

The -r option for shutdown also causes a reboot not just a shutdown. So the instructions above will in fact perform an automated reboot at whatever time(s) you specify.

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. No magicJack will not work on a T5700 256/256.

Yes magicJack will work ...

Seeing that 9.0c (revB) is all that's available from HP for the T5710 thin client - what other choice is there? As I stated earlier, Windows XP already has DirectX components installed by default -- not sure which version -- and I suspect that XPe also has the default version of DirectX resident ...

mozerd

On my 5700, dxdiag was not available until I installed 9.0C. I do not know if there were other components of DirectX present, but dxdiag was not there. Thank you .... so based on the fact that the dxdiag utility is not present by default it is desirable to proceed with installing the 9.0C version ...

Its not at all clear to me if DirectX version 9.0C is actually required. DirectX is required that has been confirmed by HolmanGT but we do not know if MJ has a DirectX version 9.0C specific dependency.

How do you force an update, just execute the update? or what. Yes, just find the '3084' upgrade and execute. Make sure to FLUSH the cache for your system. After you force the upgrade then COMMIT and REBOOT.

Did you adjust your Hosts file to remove the entry that prevents updates from taking place?
Did You install DirectX version 9.0C Rev. B (28 Feb 2008)?
Did You force the update after COMMIT and REBOOT?

mozerd

Looks like you just have to install DirectX and Commit, reboot, force update and you should be good to go
That's great Bill, thank you for confirming the steps.

To get the latest upgrade to work I suspect that the Altiris XPe Add-On (DirectX) needs to be installed. I currently do not have enough memory on my TC [5710 800Mhz 256/256] to confirm my suspicion [requires 512/512] -- I've asked HolmanGT to try this out but so far he has not had the time to do so ...

bneuman wrote:oops just noticed this is for a t5710.....can't seem to find DirectX for a t5700.

Unfortunately the T5700 -- Altiris does not provide the DirectX Add-on. Perhaps the hardware on the T5700 is very different than the newer models.

mozerd

It's really hard to say. I don't think the hardware on the thin clients was the problem previously. I think it had something to do with one of the differences between Windows XP and Windows XPe. I am am running regular XP on my 5710 and it doesn't have any issues with the upgrade. MJ probably took ...

There is evidently something different on your TC that prevented the new hardware from being automatically installed.

What does Plug-n-Play have to do with your drivers?
