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 ...

Nytefire

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.

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. My MJ works pretty good on my t5710 with the old software. Are there some new developments in the latest ...

Nytefire

Nytefire, now your rubbing salt in the wounds! :lol:

The version you are using is the one from the HP site?

I also got the official word from MJ that DirectX is a required component!
Once we get yours working, I'll send you a Margarita to go with all of the salt. ;)

Everything I installed ...

Nytefire

Lymon is correct I have never been able to make this work, so at the moment my MJ is running just fine using the down grade to the previous update, which is also a suggested work-around from Ymax which makes me think they might already be working on this bug.
So am I still the only person who has ...

START -> Run -> Type "dxdiag" and press enter. You'll get a screen that looks like:

Methinks you missed the sarcasm? Maybe.

Nytefire

Me too, I haven't done so many commits since I gave up marring women. This is starting to be a royal pain in the behind. I have also tried it on other flavors of Thin Clients with the same results. Hmmm isn't that the definition of insanity. Oh-well.
After installing DirectX, did you go into the ...

It's like inviting both of your girlfriends over for the same night, and then your wife decided at the last minute that she wasn't leaving town to visit her mother.
You've obviously never been married or you would know that you don't invite girlfriends over until your wife calls from her mothers ...

Don't leap out and buy anything just yet, I know there are several people claiming this fixed their problem. I tried it and it did not work on sever different machines. I don't understand why it would do anything for a couple of folks and not the rest of us. I would sure hope this is not some kind ...

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 ...

Nytefire

Ok, I forgot about changing the USB drivers. Took me a while to find that here in the forums. Why did you have to change the USB drivers?

The ALI drivers bluescreen with the newer hardware version of the MJ when plugged in. Using the stock Microsoft drivers fixes that issue.
Yea, before I ...

Nytefire

Ok, I forgot about changing the USB drivers. Took me a while to find that here in the forums. I got a little scared when I saw the BSOD.

Installed the 2910 update and committed changes and now all is working well! Thanks again for the help!

Nytefire

I also received one with somebody's application on it and locked down, I wrestled that puppy for sever hours also, so I know how frustrated you must have been.
It was locked down, but I didn't wrestle at all. I already had the HP XPe flash ready to go on a DOK. First thing I did was flash it back ...

I finally got my TC today via FedEx. I was a little surprised at how small it actually was. I even tried to tell the FedEx guy the box wasn't big enough! LOL

When I set it up and powered it up I discovered that my unit came from CostCo and had all of their network settings & software on it. I ...

No drops so far.

As reported by others, I've also experienced a "dropped call" when both parties are silent for too long. But that's about it.

Nytefire

Yes, I can forward the new number to the old one and that does work. But when I call out it still uses the old number id.
Thanks for that info, at least now if someone wants to call me from my local area it won't cost them. :)
Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to have to deal with tech ...

Does your old number still work? If so I wonder if you could forward the new one to the old one.

Seems like you have a personal issue with Dan Borislow. All i know is that i have a product that works and saves me money... I am very satisfied with magicjack.
Or he's expecting AT&T quality service for a $20 / year price point... That ain't gonna happen.

I notice that you don't "expect" any kind of reasonable customer service. Good thing, because there isn't any if you're having technical issues that can't be fixed by "magicFix"...

As for your questions:

2) You'll want to check ...

Yes, it's currently out for everyone - as of 15:26 EDT, Friday June 13, 2008.

Nytefire

Good to know, thanks Stewart!

Nytefire

Would be nice to be able to revert to the old version that worked with no issues. Does anybody know how to do this. Also I guess if that could be done I would like to know how to supress the unsolicited upgrade that breaks it.

Well... Good news and bad news...

Good news: It started working.

Bad news: I have NO idea why... I wasn't really trying anything...

I'm afraid to unplug/replug it in. It'll probably never work again.

I am running Windows XP - SP2 on all systems that I've tested with. I've heard too many bad things about SP3 to try it yet.
