MJ on Home edition

Can someone help me get magicjack working on my laptop!? I have a Dell XPS laptop with home edition on it. As far as I know, MJ doesn't work with home edition. Is there a patch or way to get around this?

It works with both XP and Vista home editions - which OS home edition are you talking about?

It works on home editions. What is the specific problem you are having?

When I plug in the magic jack, the pop-up of the magicjack shows up saying that it is starting, then a load bar pops up saying that it is starting. When it gets to about 80% it stops and doesn't progress. I have used this magicjack on computers running XP pro and vista. I have XP home edition with service pack 3.

There have been reports that if MJ was installed under XP SP2 which was then upgraded to SP3 it still works. There have also been reports that if you try to install MJ directly on SP3, it doesn't work. I have both XP Home Edition SP2 and SP3 boxes at home - it runs fine on the SP2 boxes but I have not yet tested it on the SP3 box.

This is my dad's laptop that he doesn't connect to the internet, therfore doesn't get updates. This laptop is roughly 4 years old. I'm not sure if SP1 or SP2 was installed on it. Since it wasn't working properly I thought that updating it would help.

Alright lazerjobs.... what I MEANT to say is that until NOW it hasn't been connected to the intetnet. Obviously it has to be connected to the internet to use magicjack, but the problem is with it LOADING the program.
