I do have some concerns about how accurate the P3 power meter is when it is reading a non sinusoidal signal. The only thing that will handle that accurately IMHOf is a Bolometer and I am sure a $16 dollar P3 does not have anything as sophisticated as that on the inside.

George, assuming you're ...

I got 512 of ram and bought the CF to IDE adapter and used a 4GB microdrive. If I were to do it over, I'd just get the flash DOM due to my inability to get XP embedded to work on the microdrive due to some licensing issue. I had to go with full-blown XP.

booyah5

I have one of these, and I just plugged my modified 5700 into it, so I'll know in a few days how much it's costing in electricity.

booyah5

Yeah, good luck trying to make that reality stick.

Just remember to get a thin client that has XPe and not CE. Plus, it's got to have at minimum 256/256, but that's just barely enough space.

booyah5

MJ in use use to peg my CPU. Then after a fresh OS install - no problems; and my CPU just loafs along.

booyah5

Maybe with a host PC plus multiple virtual PCs and one MJ on each OS.

booyah5

No one will share here because it's a great way to tell MJ: "Hey guys, here's a security hole you need to fix!"

Personally, I think it's easier to use a thin client than do the cat and mouse ATA thing. But having an ATA already would certainly make it tempting to use it with MJ that's for sure.

booyah5

I'd try toggling it. You know: turn it off, then on, then off, etc...

booyah5

I tried once on wine - no go.

booyah5

That's weird. I have AVG v8.0.168 updated as of today: 9/4/8 and when I scan autorun.exe on my MJ, it comes up with nothing: also nothing when autorun.exe is executed.

booyah5

Hopefully Ooma will survive.

I like MJ for what I get for the price, but I have had problems - mainly a wicked echo that just won't quit. My mom has the same problem. I get around it by using the *67 trick, but it's a pain, and it doesn't work for inbound calls. Not to mention the fact that it's ...

booyah5

The Roku Netflix Player is sweet, though not as flexible - at least at the moment. I watch something on it every day, and it's near DVD quality video.

booyah5

I really doubt that the computer will cost $18/month, but I could be mistaken. My Dell Inspiron 530 Core Duo 2.0ghz uses 70watts and 52.41kwh power draw (as measured with my kill-a-watt ).

But I'm running MJ on that thin client so often mentioned here, and I think they use around 10watts. I'll be ...

booyah5

Yeah I've setup a return with Amazon.

I'll go with the other recommendation. I should have bought that anyways, but was side tracked elsewhere.

booyah5

Probably in a million years. But I wouldn't hold your breath.

booyah5

The reason I'd like to know is whether I should ask for a refund or a replacement.

booyah5

Just for grins, I tried MJ on Ubuntu 8.04 lts and it wouldn't even mount the phony CD drive. Ubuntu showed that it was there, but I couldn't mount it to try to install via wine.

Next, maybe I should just copy over the mjusbsp folder and trying to run it via wine then.

booyah5

Yeah what happened? The forum seems to be running smooth now.

booyah5

Personally, I can't install the default HP XPe image on my microdrive. It will install, but then complains of a license issue. I probably would have used XPe, but it wouldn't work, so I had to go with full blown XP.

Something to consider.

booyah5

It doesn't look like you completed your question. But I thought you just plug the MagicJack into the wall with a regular phone cord after you disconnect the outside service. I could be totally wrong.

booyah5

Can someone confirm the PNY Optima memory worked on their hp t5700 specifically?

booyah5

I bought a stick of PNY PC2700 Optima, stuck it in my t5700 and it gets stuck at the HP bios logo and doesn't proceed further. Pushing the power button does nothing; pushing keys does nothing. pulling the power cable is the only way to clear it. Plugging the power back in, it goes right back to that ...

booyah5

I've heard that only certain video cards will work with the TCs. Maybe the same is true for WiFi?

booyah5

Now I am confused how could you update the microdrive driver on the TC if the license issue is a problem? You could never get to the "update driver" choices if that were so?

I was able to bypass the license issue by booting into safe mode - no networking (if you choose with networking - you get ...

booyah5

I figured out about the driver. What I did was choose to point windows to the right folder. But I didn't manually select the type of device which then led me to the file and presto - it now works. Thanks.

But the license issue won't seem to resolve. I found the reference here on this forum, and ...

booyah5

I set it to choose the driver myself - not XP choosing for me.

I guess the licensing thing is not a known problem. I might try flashing XPe again, and see if it bitches about the licensing again. Then if no joy, abandon the stock HP image and try XP Pro again.

booyah5

Ah yeah I jumped ahead and used the device manager. I selected it to reinstall the driver. If I ever put a full XP install back on (which might be tonight) I'll see if there is a difference.

Before i tried the failed XPe install just now, I used Clonezilla again from the 5700 to a samba share that ...

booyah5

Argh, problems after problems...

I did a redo of XPe on my 5700 and now I get an error on login ""A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer.
Error Code: 0x80070002."

I did a search for this on this board, and the search came back to the "HP Thin Client ...

booyah5

The steps I used are shown in the 12th post on page 5 of this thread.

I guess it's not going to work. This is what I get:

Though in your instructions, you say "Next select the Hardware tab you should then see your microdrive listed in the "all drives" box ...

booyah5

You used the HP image? And how did you go about using that driver. Did you 1st uninstall the previous driver, or did you choose to reinstall driver and then browse?

booyah5

I got my CF micro-drive, ribbon cable, and adapter yesterday, and I've put a full copy of XP on it (I would have gone with a micro, but those seem to be riddled with spyware when I scanned one at least). The only problem is that I get the following error:

booyah5

In my neck of the woods, we can call about 2 dozen or more prefixes and it's local on our land-line. So have you had your friends call their operator to see if calling you is long distance? Sometimes you can tell in the official phone book as well. By the way, since last Monday, we always must dial ...

booyah5

I haven't done it myself yet, but I hear this is a good instruction set to reflash the OS.

booyah5

Have you reinstalled the HP XPe image? Because the old one is on that old DOM sitting on your desk

.

booyah5

Yeah the IE dialpad is lame.

But I can see this service as a nice integration with MJ to use http://labs.jaduka.com/dukaLink in auctions and web-pages to let people contact you with your MJ without incurring a long distance call for them and without revealing your phone number.

It's similar to ...

booyah5

You can activate your MJ away from home, and when you get home, it'll work on your computer without having to activate it again.

It won't interfere with her land-line at all, but it will leave some program information in the computer's hard drive and registry which isn't a real big deal.

booyah5

If you have high-speed internet, MJ should work.

But make sure you have a backup way to call like cell service.

booyah5

A lot of thin client's are CE based which I don't think would work.

booyah5

I do a redo at least once a year. Long ago I've learned to either partition the hard drive, or add another hard drive, and everything I want to keep for good in my D:\ drive. That way, all I have to do is move my profile over to D:\ when I do a redo.

It was about time for a redo anyways. And it ...

booyah5

What make/model router are you using? If could have restrictive outgoing rules. This would cause this error on all your network.

booyah5

Good find.

booyah5

Does Outlook hang even when MJ isn't running?

You can checkout this thread about uninstalling manually:

booyah5

If you don't mind losing your home number and you have reliable cell service then yeah, I'd disconnect personally. Without a cell phone or in a bad cell area? Not a chance!

booyah5

Try a portable version from a thumb drive:

booyah5

I've been getting an echo for the last few days. I don't get it calling another MagicJack, nor to my cell phone, nor does the other party hear the echo, but I hear about a 1 second echo when I call my sbc land-line as well as other land-lines. My mom's MJ has this problem on an XP desktop, and I ...

booyah5

It just occurred to me, that this device might have soldered in memory and thus non-upgradeable. But post a pic to confirm.

booyah5

Post a picture. There doesn't seem to be any pics online for the t5520. You can upload it here: http://tinypic.com/

booyah5

I have AutoSizer configured to hide both the main soft-phone body as well as that answer/ignore dialog.

Like so:

Make sure to set MagicJack to minimize to tray.
